Chapter 104 Divine Weapons from Heaven
"Finally out!"
To the north of the Zhongshan Mountains, looking at the vast land outside the canyon, all the Donghu people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment. Many of them couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on the ground.
Although this place is very close to the Mountains of the Dead and there is no fragrance of grass on the ground, there are still many people kneeling on the ground, kissing the lifeless soil beneath their feet, celebrating the joy of surviving the disaster.
In this battle, every Donghu who participated in the battle was determined to go and never return. More than 500,000 Donghu people fought into the Mountains of the Undead, and only 200,000 were left at this time. Most of the remaining people were injured. Now being able to walk out of the Mountains of the Undead alive is like a new life for them.
Looking at the tribesmen who were exhausted but full of relief, Huang Zhen still forced himself to pour cold water on them all: "Everyone, get up. Now is not the time to rest. The undead in the Undead Mountains may chase us at any time. There may be undead on the road ahead, rushing to block us. Everyone, get up~!"
Hearing Huang Zhen's shout, the tired Donghu people knew that now was not the time to rest, so they gritted their teeth and climbed up from the ground with their exhausted bodies.
"Great Chanyu, the undead are coming from the west! There are two or three hundred thousand of them, and they are less than ten miles away!"
At this moment, on the distant grassland, the people observing on the hillside shouted anxiously.
"Mu Cun, take the young people and quickly protect Maodun!"
Hearing the shout, Huang Zhen immediately gave an order to someone beside him. Then he shouted to all the Donghu people: "Donghu people, the undead are coming, they will not get tired, now everyone under the age of 20 should follow the leader Mucun to protect Maodun and leave, those over the age of 23, stay and stop the undead!"
Hearing the shouts, the exhausted Donghu people had no energy to respond to Huang Zhen, but they still acted quickly.
"move!"
"Remember, you must keep an eye on my kid when you go back!"
"Get out of here! I'm old now. Dying here in battle is my destiny. But you're still young, and you have to continue my bloodline!"
Voices of farewell, scolding and beatings continued to be heard in the crowd.
Men and women under the age of 23 could only leave reluctantly, looking back every few steps, amidst the urging, warnings, and beatings of the tribesmen.
They knew that whoever stayed would die, because there were two or three hundred thousand undead, because more and more undead would come, because they were already exhausted, because the undead could not get tired.
Those who stayed behind had to fight to the death, and they had no choice but to fight to the death. Among these people were many of their relatives and parents, but at this moment, under their beatings and scolding, these young people had no choice but to leave, because they still had the responsibility of raising and protecting the children in the group who had not yet grown up, and shouldering the heavy responsibility of reproducing the race.
Amid the farewells, the hurriedly marching souls had already crossed the hillside and appeared in the sight of the Donghu people.
"Young man, go!"
"Line up!"
Looking at the undead marching in the distance, Huang Zhen loudly urged the young people to leave and shouted at the rest to line up.
Looking at the undead marching towards them in the distance, the Donghu people couldn't help but feel fortunate in their hearts. They were glad that the undead coming to kill them had no cavalry, otherwise the cavalry could easily bypass their battle line and chase down the fleeing young people.
For a moment, the Donghu people who were saying goodbye in chaos quickly split into two waves. The young people continued to go east, while the middle-aged and elderly people quickly formed a battle line in the west, ready to watch the undead appearing in the distance.
"Roar!"
In the distance, the undead who were marching in a hurry also let out bursts of roars. More than 200,000 undead were divided into three groups and rushed towards the Donghu people's line. Two of them charged to the left and right sides of the Donghu people's line, obviously intending to bypass the Donghu people blocking the way in front and chase after the young people who left.
"Stop them, kill!" Looking at the undead coming in three groups, Huang Zhen immediately determined the undead's intention. He roared and led the 120,000 clansmen who were left behind to split into three groups and headed straight for the three groups of undead coming from afar.
The six armies of both sides quickly collided with each other, and in an instant people and horses fell to the ground, and blood splattered.
But this time, it was the undead who had the numerical advantage. Nearly 300,000 fearless skeleton soldiers fought against 120,000 exhausted but determined Donghu people.
"Fight to the death!"
On the battlefield, Huang Zhen's Langya smashed the bones of an undead into pieces and shouted loudly.
"Fight to the death!" When the Donghu people heard Huang Zhen's shout, they responded with loud shouts even though they were exhausted. For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with the Donghu people shouting to fight to the death, and they swore their determination to stop the undead even if it meant death.
At this moment, these Donghu people showed their most ferocious and wolfish side. Even if they were pierced by the undead spears and their arms were chopped off, even if they had to endure the pain of being pierced by the spears, these Donghu people would use their last lives to die together with the undead, using their own death to create opportunities for their companions to destroy the undead in front of them.
On the distant hillside, the Undead Commander Kou Zhen listened to the shouts of the Donghu people, and just watched with cold eyes as they fought desperately on the battlefield.
"cry!"
In the sky, a bone eagle cried out, swooped down from high in the sky, and landed on Kou Zhen's shoulder, making the cry of a dead bird.
"Roar!"
After hearing this, Kou Zhen clenched his fists and roared like thunder. The huge roar even spread throughout the entire battlefield.
The next second, after hearing the roar, the undead who were fighting with the Donghu people began to leave the battlefield and hurriedly ran to the north to form a line.
Rows of tightly packed shields formed shield walls, with spears and lances sticking out from the gaps between the shields. Skeleton archers stood behind the shields, with their bows and arrows pointing to the north, ready for battle.
Watching the undead leaving the battlefield and taking defensive actions towards the north, Huang Zhen panted, and a glimmer of hope rose in his eyes full of death. He shouted loudly: "The Huns are coming to support us!"
In his opinion, only the Huns could be their support now.
"Boom~~~"
The rumbling sound of hooves came from behind the distant hillside, like the sound of a flood of water being released from the Three Gorges.
In the soul fire of the skeleton soldiers and in the expectant gaze of the Donghu people, a black line appeared on the distant hillside and washed down the hillside like a black mudslide.
"That is?"
Looking at the sudden black torrent, Huang Zhen was stunned, and the Donghu people were also stunned.
Those were not the Huns at all, but an extremely large herd of yaks. There were domestic yaks with a shoulder height of more than one meter, and there were wild yaks with a shoulder height of nearly two meters. What was even more surprising was that there were even wild wolves, lynxes, horses and sheep among the herd.
This was the first time they had seen animals actively attack the undead, except for the horses that the Huns had adapted to.
Looking at the group of animals without anyone to direct or control them, Huang Zhen murmured, "This is a miracle. God must have sent us to help us!"
"God has sent a messenger to help us!"
The next second, Huang Zhen knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Roar!" Looking at the herd of cattle about to rush towards them, the undead roared, and the skeleton archers behind them shot arrows.
But arrows had little effect on the thick-skinned and tough cattle.
The herd of cattle was like a flood, breaking through the undead shield defense in an instant, washing over the undead formation, knocking down the skeleton soldiers one by one, knocking them away, and smashing them to pieces.
The skeleton soldiers who were knocked down and scattered had no chance to get up and regroup, and their bones were crushed by the dense hooves of the cattle.
~~~
In the sky, Fusu stood on the head of the Bone Dragon King, looking at the battlefield below, watching the herd of cattle breaking through the shield formation of the skeleton soldiers like a flood, and washing away the undead army.
"It's over. What an unexpected divine army that descended from the sky!"
Fusu muttered to himself.
