Chapter 106 Huang Zhen: Survived

Kou Zhen killed everyone in the herd of animals, just like an adult walking into a vegetable field with a sword. The huge gap in combat power resulted in a huge crushing defeat.

Wherever Kou Zhen passed, whether it was the huge yaks or the agile and cunning wild wolves, they all fell under his sword and fists. In just two quarters of an hour, the number of animals killed was even greater than that of the three hundred death warriors before.

But such high-intensity fighting also made Kou Zhen feel tired.

It was not the physical fatigue, but the serious consumption of his soul fire. The blazing soul fire on his body was much weaker. Even though the sun had completely set and the night had fallen, and the cold air between heaven and earth was gradually increasing, it was difficult to replenish one tenth of his consumption.

From a distance, the Donghu people felt a chill in their hearts as they watched the animals in the herd constantly flying up. Even though they did not see the battle with their own eyes, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

The power of the Death Warrior had already broken their cognition, the power of the Nightmare once again refreshed everyone's cognition, and now it has broken everyone's cognition once again.

(Death Skeleton is equivalent to a second-rate or first-rate warrior in the martial arts world. Half-Nightmare is innate, and Nightmare is at the foundation-building and bigu level. I will talk about it later when the levels are written, leaving some suspense.)
"Chanyu, look over there!"

Just after the sun set, a dark blue tide appeared again on the distant hillside, and this time, it was much wider than when Kou Zhen led the undead here.

"It's the reinforcements of the undead!"

Huang Zhen looked at the dark blue tide gradually spreading from the distant hillside, and his face was extremely heavy. Just looking at the scale of the spread, it was clear that the number of undead this time was at least three times that of the previous one.

At this moment, the hope that had arisen from the arrival of the cattle was extinguished again.

"It's the Fourth Legion. Looks like today isn't the end for me!"

Among the animals, Kou Zhen, who was killing hard, also discovered the undead coming from the distant hillside, and recognized to which group this undead belonged at a glance.

"Mou!"

A wild yak with a shoulder height of about 112 feet came in front of the Donghu people and made a roar.

"You want us to leave?"

Looking at the huge wild yak in front of him, Huang Zhen asked uncertainly.

"Mou!" The wild yak made a "Mou" sound again and actually nodded in a humane way.

"Moo!" Then, the wild yak made a long mooing sound.
Although animals do not have human intelligence, they are more obedient.

After the wild yaks let out a long cry, the animals that were besieging Kou Zhen actually began to retreat towards the Donghu people.

After reaching the animals, the Donghu people climbed onto the cattle and horses, and were then carried away quickly.

"I am so silly!"

Looking at these retreating animals, Kou Zhen did not chase them. Instead, he sat on a cow's carcass with his sword in his hand, quietly watching the animals leaving and muttering to himself.

He knew very well that with only one legion coming to support him, and an ordinary skeleton legion at that, it would be impossible to prevent the news from leaking out.

Because the skeleton-like undead can only exert their greatest combat power when fighting in groups. If the enemy spreads out, even if the Fourth Legion has a number of one million, it will be difficult to defeat the animals, which also number no less than one million, and the remaining nearly 80,000 Donghu people by fighting in a dispersed manner, let alone annihilate them. In order to wipe them out, at least two more legions or a special legion are needed.

And more importantly, the news leaked out, which was what their king wanted to see. Obviously, there would be no more undead to support them. Otherwise, the support would not only be the most ordinary skeleton army, but also the bone dragons, dinosaurs, and ghosts. It would not be that they did not show up at all. Only he was stupid enough to almost wipe out the second army and almost lost himself.

Now his Second Legion has lost more than 800,000 undead, and the Ninth Legion stationed in the Central Mountains has probably also suffered heavy losses.

More than 300,000 Xiongnu were completely wiped out, and there were not many Xiongnu left on the grassland. More than two-thirds of the more than 500,000 Donghu were also killed, and almost all the remaining ones were injured. The price they paid was also heavy. This battle had reached this point, and both sides had suffered heavy losses. There was nothing to doubt, and it was enough to create momentum.

"Survived!"

Huang Zhen tied himself to a yak and took a tired look at the undead behind him. Seeing that the undead reinforcements had no intention of chasing them, Huang Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew that they really survived this time. Even if a new undead army arrived, they would not be able to stop them from leaving, and they might not even be able to defeat them.

He also felt that the undead reinforcements were unstoppable, so they did not pursue them.

The heavy stone in his heart fell, and Huang Zhen could no longer hold on, and fell into a deep sleep on the yak's back.

There were also many people sleeping on the backs of cows and horses, but I don’t know how many of them would be able to wake up.

The battle had started since they entered the Mountains of the Dead in the morning. By now they were exhausted and had already overdrawn their bodies and energy. They had been gritting their teeth and persisting only with the belief of dying.

"The Central Plains and the Grasslands are almost done, but the war in the Western Regions is having a hard time making a breakthrough! It has been dragging on for a long time!"

In the sky, Fusu stroked his chin and muttered to himself, then asked the Bone Dragon King, "Lanikaiya, what do you think of the war in the Western Regions?"

"If the king wants to force the Western Regions to join the Central Plains, all he needs to do is let Princess Huayang escape."

The Bone Dragon King replied.

Fusu shook his head: "We already have Maodun. Adding another Huayang would be too deliberate! It might even ruin Maodun's move. Forget it. Let's focus on the Central Plains and the grasslands. Let's just drag it out in the Western Regions for now!"

"Speaking of which, it has been almost three months since Huayang arrived at the Undead Mountains."

The Bone Dragon King pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, the king can withdraw troops from the Western Regions, pretend to deal with the Central Plains with all his strength, and then go north. After negotiating with the Central Plains and destroying the Maurya Dynasty, the Western Regions will be stuck in the middle and unable to go north. Maybe they will consider merging with the Central Plains. We have to consider it! They can also enter the Central Plains from Shu."

"Retreating in order to advance is very feasible and exactly what I want!" Fusu nodded.

Yanmen Pass--
Yanmen Pass.

The millions of undead led by Fen Zhenrou and the coalition forces of Zhao, Yan and Qi outside Yanmen Pass were fighting fiercely.

Every day, the two sides fired stones and arrows back and forth.

For more than a month, the coalition forces of Zhao, Yan, and Qi did not launch a formal siege. Even when a section of the wall of Yanmen Pass was collapsed, they turned a blind eye and just worked in shifts around the clock, throwing rocks and shooting arrows at Yanmen Pass day and night, as if they were planning to consume all the undead in the city.

Inside Yanmen Pass, Fen Zhenrou also gained experience by fighting. He simply sent the undead in batches to the city walls to guard the city, and used catapults to counterattack outside the city, but did not go out of the city to fight.

After more than a month, both sides gained experience and the casualties became less and less.

It seems like the fight is fierce, but in fact neither side has taken any major substantive action, as if they are both waiting for something.
