"Dong, dun, dun"

The low sound of war drums triggered an unknown sound and echoed in the camp, which was a signal of war again.

Li Baoguo, who was sitting on a box and was eating silently, heard the sound of drums, stuffed the dried meat in his hand into his mouth, chewed it a few times, grabbed the blood-stained iron spear at his hand, and stood up.

The moment he got up, he felt a little dizzy, his tall body shook for a few times, and then stood firm again.

“There are too many magical martial arts.”

Li Baoguo moved his sore neck for a moment and said something in his heart.

This secret martial arts handed down by Shen Qiu can indeed give warriors a point of fighting against heroic spirits in the place where spiritual energy is stored, but its side effects are also quite obvious.

The body of a mortal is difficult to withstand the heavy pressure of spiritual energy. Even if it is just mixed in the true energy for explosion, it will cause extreme fatigue in the body if it is used multiple times in a short period of time.

Li Baoguo glanced around and saw that the Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Palace not far away were also closing their eyes and regulating their breathing, and they were exhausted.

Tiance Xiao will raise his head, the sky is still covered with clouds, and the thick black clouds block the sun. How long has it been since the first battle with the ghosts and protecting the safety of the camp?

How many hours?

Or have you fought for a night?

Under the depressing dark light above the head, the flow of time seemed to have become a very blurry thing.

They have repelled the ghosts' three attacks.

Now, it's the fourth time.

There were soldiers running in the camp. Li Baoguo walked out of this place to rest and saw Taoist Master Chong and several Taoist priests of Xuanmen who were distributing talisman paper and talisman water to the soldiers.

If these things take over spiritual power and turn them into simple Taoist techniques to bless soldiers, they can cause them to harm ghosts.

Unfortunately, the re-education of Taoist art by the Xuanmen of the Jade Emperor Palace was still short of time, and many Taoist materials were no longer available in this era, so we can only make these most basic Taoist talismans.

If there were more and more powerful Taoist techniques to bless it, this battle would not be so difficult.

"Tired?"

A familiar voice sounded behind Li Baoguo.

There was also a small wine pot handed to him, a very delicate porcelain bottle, and a black velvet lining, which exuded a scent of wine.

"Drink some, you will have to fight later, don't drink too much."

The man reminded him again.

Li Baoguo shook his head and said:

"I don't know how the Marquis of Wei governed the army, but in the war, everyone under the general was not allowed to drink wine. Those who violated the order would be killed."

"Hao, before the hair grows, just tell me the big truth?"

Wei Hou, who was also wearing armor, snorted disdainfully. Seeing that Li Baoguo refused to answer, he took the porcelain bottle back and poured it into his mouth. He wiped his mouth and looked outside the camp.

Under the dim sky, there is a black shadow surging like a tide in the distance.

“They are getting more and more numerous.”

Zhao Lian put the wine pot in his close-fitting pocket, took the helmet from his personal soldiers, held it on his head, and took his long-handled sword and leaned it in his hand. He looked at the strange corpses outside the camp and said:

"The lifeless child fought three times and killed ten thousand ghosts with us. The power of the blood sea was really powerful, but it was already at the end of his strength. The knife in the kid's hand was strange. When the battle was just over, I saw that it was out of control.

He is afraid that he can't go into battle again."

"It's the same with him or not."

Li Baoguo also held his red battle helmet on his head. He waved his spear in his hand and said:

"Since we are here, we will fight to the death. We can retreat those supernatural ghosts three times, and we can retreat them for the fourth time."

Weihou was silent for a few breaths, and he said:

"I have sent military orders. The 20,000 elite border troops stationed on the plains arrived at night. At this time, the vanguard had just crossed the Yellow River and it would take at least half a day to reach this place.

But there were more than 70,000 ghost soldiers. Although we were killed and retreated, there were continuous streams of people in the rear. There were still 20,000 elite Japanese troops who had arrived on the battlefield. This battle was very dangerous."

"Aren't this all thanks to Weihou's blessing?"

Li Baoguo had no good feelings for the soldiers in the South. He said with a few sarcasm:

"Even though we know that the Hundred War Army is not a good thing, we still insist on taking them to station in Qilu. Marquis of Wei wanted to take a shortcut to prolong your Zhao family dynasty, but it caused the disaster today.

What my father said is indeed right. Weihou is an excellent general, but lacks vision."

"Li Shouguo is talking nonsense!"

Zhao Lian cursed.

But then, the old man's mood became depressed.

He said:

"Yes, this is all my fault. A single thought will lead to such a huge disaster. My death is not enough to make up for you. Take your soldiers and retreat."

"Um?"

Li Baoguo turned around in shock and looked at Zhao Lian, and said:

"Are you crazy? Without my Tiance Army, we will help divide the battlefield. The exhausted army in your camp will be wiped out if the ghosts rush.

"Haha, Li's son, don't underestimate me."

Zhao Lian glanced at Li Baoguo:

"When it comes to fighting, you little boy, don't deserve to carry your shoes to me. I just said that I will repay the evil I have committed by myself. When I die in battle before, I will not let the ghosts step on this thunder pool!

You bring your soldiers and those warriors and Taoist priests back to Jinan City, where you can cultivate and wait for reinforcements from all sides. I will buy time for you.

And Fan Qingqing, take her out of this dangerous place!"

Weihou touched his beard, and he looked at the Tiance cavalry reassembled in front of the camp, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Li family, tell me honestly, are the two thousand cavalry you brought this time the imperial guards of the Great Chu royal family and Yaoguangwei?"

"no!"

Li Baoguo denied it, he said:

"This is the new recruit I trained in Luoyang."

"Bad! You can only train such a strong army?"

Zhao Lian sneered and said:

"I really think my eyes are blind?

Don’t forget that I was once a general of the Great Chu, but I also knew the tactics of Yaoguangwei. After the Lin'an Forbidden Palace caught fire, Yaoguangwei was disbanded.

Unexpectedly, the old dog Li Shouguo actually secretly rebuilt such an army."

He stopped, lowered his voice and asked:

"Fan Qingqing, is a descendant of the imperial family of the Great Chu?"

Li Baoguo did not answer.

But silence is also the answer.

"Haha, alas, no wonder Li Shouguo, a tough old man who has been in a tough life, is willing to bow down and betray my Zhao family for more than 20 years. He has done his best to preserve the independence of the Tiance Army.

I see.

He has always been a loyal minister of the Great Chu. I have been competing with him all my life, but in the end, he became a rebel traitor. It's really ironic."

Zhao Lian sighed.

Seeing that Li Baoguo was about to go out of the camp, he took a step forward, grabbed Li Baoguo's wrist, and said in a deep voice:

"She also fought this battle. Facing the fierce ghost soldiers, she went on the battle herself without taking a step back and winning three battles and three times is enough to spread her reputation. Now it's time for her to leave.

The blood of noble people is so noble that it should not flow here! As a loyal minister of Great Chu, you will take your head out of danger!"

"Weihou was joking."

Li Baoguo's face remained unchanged. He reached out and pushed away Weihou's hand and said:

"My head, I will not leave. She and I are waiting here to protect the millions of people in Qilu. As a king, how can we sit down and see the people suffer from plunder?

I'm waiting for it to spread my reputation!

I am waiting here to drive out the ghosts and come for victory! Not to mention that my head will not leave, everyone who comes with her will not take a step back.

I can win!”

Li Baoguo looked forward, and countless ghost soldiers had turned into black tides, screaming in the roar of the cold wind, like a noisy rolling turbid current that destroyed the world, and once again attacked the camp.

"I have to win too!"

The Xiao General of Tiance ignored the Weihou behind him. He walked a few steps forward, turned over the horse, raised the spear in his hand, and more than a thousand cavalrymen quickly changed formations and quickly formed a rushing formation.

In the forefront of the camp, the ghost scholar was wearing armor and directing loudly.

The various units of the bandit suppression army also lined up a hundred feet in front of the camp.
