Chapter 95 Grass Puppet War

Huo Hai, outside the city, naturally didn't know that the Zixu trio was using the gimmick of "Eternal Life" to trick Wu Kui into attacking him. He didn't even know that the southern barbarians who had disrupted the world during the Han Dynasty had survived to this day. For him, who was nearly 300 years old, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci were just young people, and there was naturally some gap with old ghosts like him and Li Yi in terms of experience.

When the rooster crowed, Huo Hai and Chu Yan didn't need to shout, all the soldiers of the Qifeng Cavalry got up, washed their faces and rinsed their mouths with a little water, and began to untickle the bags prepared for horses, pulled out the sabers and began to walk into the fields outside the woods.

"As long as Ji Sui is filled, after filling the bag, each bag should be filled with at least two stones, and each horse is equipped with two bags." Huo Hai gave a demonstration to the soldiers.

Time is limited, so he can only cut the Ji Xi back and then slowly thresh and remove the shell. If six hundred horses are prepared, each horse will carry four stones of Ji Xi, it should have two thousand stones of grain, which is enough for more than 100,000 yellow turbans to eat porridge for a day. Next time, Huo Hai can bring all the two horses and bring back the food for two days at a time. As long as he successfully steals grain ten or eight times, it will be enough for Zhang Bao's troops to survive this month.

However, this is just Huo Hai's plan.

When they filled the first tie, the soldiers of the Wind Rider were already scattered in the fields.

"I told you to cut only the ears and not the seedlings!" Huo Hai, who placed a bag of Jizhe on the horse's back and returned to the field, shouted to the soldiers walking around the fields looking for Jizhe.

"We didn't cut the seedlings!" several cavalry brothers said inexplicably.

However, when they looked back, they found that all the seedlings in the place they had just walked were neatly cut down.

"Didn't you cut it?" Huo Hai frowned when he heard this.

His gaze looked at other parts of the field and suddenly found that there were large pieces of land in the field. The seedlings collapsed on the ground, not the kind that was blown down by the wind, but were neatly cut down along with the weeds in the field.

Zuo Ci, who did not join the harvesting team, was originally meditating and practicing breathing. However, at this time, he suddenly opened his vigilantly and looked around, and quickly jumped into the air in the direction where Huo Hai was.

"A practitioner has taken action, hurry up and order everyone to withdraw from the field and evacuate this place immediately."

As soon as Zuo Ci's shout fell, Huo Hai heard a rustling sound. Without much hesitation, he blew the iron whistle hanging on his chest with Chu Yan.

The emergency assembly whistle was a conditioned reflex for the soldiers of the Wind Cavalry, especially the veterans. Under their guidance, the new recruits also began to run wildly into the woods.

However, as soon as they started running, the cut seedlings and weeds on the ground began to move. Some directly tripped the soldiers' feet and pulled them down, while others kept moving backwards, causing the soldiers to fall, or like running on the belt of a treadmill, greatly slowing down their evacuation from the fields.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Wind Riders had seen Huo Hai use the talisman formation. Otherwise, the strange things that only these seedlings and weeds could scare them.

"Don't panic, grab your weapons, and if there are weeds to attack you, cut them off." Since you already know that this is the method used by the other monk, Huo Hai could only force himself to calm down and deal with it.

"Ordinary swordsman is useless to these weeds. They will continue to attack and become stronger the more they fight." Zuo Ci frowned.

"What kind of talisman formation is this? Why haven't I seen it in the Taiping Qingling?" Huo Hai seemed to be moving when he saw the mizunos in several miles. He was puzzled.

"You have never seen it in Taiping Qingling. I haven't even seen it all, so I naturally don't know it anymore. Now I can only take one step at a time and help everyone escape from this area first." Zuo Ci shrugged.

As he spoke, two strands of grass vines were wrapped around Huo Hai's ankles. He directly waved the short sword removed from the head of the spear and slashed it towards the grass vines. The cut off grass vines immediately released his ankles, allowing him to pull his feet out.

However, not long after, the vines that he cut off became active again, and were happier than before. They seemed to have tentacles, moved at a faster speed than before, and then gathered with other cut weeds, and they actually grew rapidly in front of Huo Hai's eyes and became a straw man.

Seeing this straw man, Zuo Ci narrowed his eyes and said, "This is, the puppet talisman."

"What is a puppet talisman?"

Huo Hai asked Zuo Ci, swung the short sword, and cut directly at the man who could not bear it.

Suddenly, a neat cut appeared on the grass man's body. However, the grass man had no life at all. When Huo Hai slashed him, the grass man also swept towards Huo Hai, but the speed was not fast. Huo Hai blocked it with his arm and found that the strength of the grass man was not weak, not inferior to an elite infantryman of the Black Mountain Army.

"The Puppet Talisman is a special spiritual talisman that can control puppets to fight. The carrier he launches can be these weeds and seedlings, or trees in the mountains, water in the river, and even mud and sand under his feet. Their power varies according to the level of the man who is being manipulated.

If I expected it would be fine, the more you cut off these weeds with a knife, the more vital it will be, and, endlessly, stronger and stronger." Zuo Ci explained, while starting to avoid the vines that were attacking him. He did not use sharp weapons to chop directly with sharp weapons, but used a whisk taken out of the bag to sweep it away.

At the same time, most of the other soldiers still in the fields fought with these grass men. Less than 10% of them were just close to the woods and had to get on horses, but they didn't know if they should drive their horses down to the field to help their fellow comrades fight.

"Is there any good way?" Seeing that it was useless to chop the grass man with a short sword, Huo Hai directly began to attack the grass man's limbs. With the peak power of his early stage of internal strength and flexible attacking tricks, it seemed very easy to deal with a grass man.

"I just said it! Queue. Fight and leave. Let's figure it out before you can tell me." After Zuo Ci finished speaking, he put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle. After a while, a bird cry of "cry~!" came from the sky.

Soon, Huo Hai saw a big crane with a body that was two or three times larger than that of an ordinary crane, swooping down from the sky and coming to Zuo Ci.

"Ko, when did you raise such a big crane? Why haven't I seen it before?" Huo Hai saw Zuo Ci jumping and sat directly on the back of the big crane, saying a little enviously.

"Otherwise, why do you think I am far away in Jiugong Mountain, but I am so many days earlier than Ge Xuan?" Zuo Ci said proudly.

"Okay, okay, just hide all these life-saving methods! What are you doing now? Can't you beat me and run away?" Huo Hai shouted at Zuo Ci, who was flying farther and farther away from the crane.

"I'll go to Yecheng first to see who's doing it. You can deal with it yourself."

Zuo Ci's voice came from the sky from afar. Huo Hai's internal strength was not enough, and it was useless to shout at him, so he began to concentrate on the challenge.

However, what he could not have imagined was that the straw man who had cut off his limbs from him stood up from the ground again, and one turned into two.

This is nothing. Chu Yan, who is faster and more powerful than him, is already fighting against six straw men.

The soldiers of the ordinary windbreaker were barely able to deal with one or two straw men. Once they reached three or four, they would be beaten. Of course, there was even worse situation. After Huo Hai dealt with the two straw men in front of him, he wanted to help other recruits escape the battlefield but found that the two straw men killed by him had turned into four straw men, and the hands of these straw men began to generate various forage weapons of different lengths.

Especially after the straw whip came, the ordinary soldiers holding short weapons could not resist it at all. Fortunately, the soldiers were wearing armor that could protect the key points. Otherwise, there might have been a large number of casualties.

"This puppet talisman is so powerful."

Huo Hai no longer fought against the straw man who attacked him. After complaining, he ran towards Chu Yan.

"First find a way to lead everyone out of the field. I will use the talisman array to deal with these things." After using a short sword to quickly cut off the legs of the two grass men who attacked Chu Yan, Huo Hai shouted to him.

"The more you fight this thing, the more you fight, we're afraid it's not that easy to retreat." Chu Yan, who was fighting and leaving, saw that the other soldiers were facing two to three or four straw men, and said later.

The current situation is that most soldiers are being besieged and beaten.

"Just blow the whistle and let the war horses crash into the crowd to pick them up!" Huo Hai ordered as the situation became increasingly difficult to deal with.

He could draw several kinds of talismans on the spot to solve these straw men, but the weakness of the talisman formation is the indiscriminate attack. Now his soldiers are entangled with these talismans. When activating the talisman formation, it will undoubtedly cause damage to his own people. This is Huo Hai's biggest problem.

Fortunately, although these straw men are very powerful and difficult to deal with, their speed is not as fast as normal people. Huo Hai still has some time to change.

After the whistle to summon horses was blown by the soldiers, dozens of cavalry watching the battle in the forest rushed over with their rifles. However, what everyone unexpectedly expected was that a wall of grass made of seedlings and weeds suddenly rose on the edge of the ridge of the field, which was more than three meters high. It not only prevented the soldiers in the field from running to the woods, but also prevented the soldiers riding the war horses from rushing over.

"The person who controls this puppet actually knows our tactical intentions." Huo Hai said a little depressed.

What everyone even more unexpected is that although the war horses that hit the grass wall were very painful, they did not mean to leave. Instead, they opened their mouths and ate the grass vines and seedlings. It seemed that these were foods that were more delicious than the beans they usually ate.

After a while, the grass wall became pierced by more than a thousand horses, and there were small holes everywhere.

"Hahaha, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Those guys attacked us with grass puppets, but they didn't count. Horses like to eat grass. Brothers, hurry up and find a way to get on the horse." Seeing this situation, Huo Hai, who helped more than a dozen people to help rescue the siege, shouted and rushed towards the grass wall with his men. Following the holes bitten by the war horses, he crossed the grass wall more than three feet high and turned over and sat on the back of a horse.

Dozens of soldiers near the grass wall also followed suit, climbed over the grass wall and found their own war horses.

"Get weapons and cut a big hole in the grass wall, just pass it through it." Huo Hai shouted to everyone, and immediately put the head of the spear on the spear pole. Soon, he waved the long spear and began to attack the grass wall. Chu Yan and the other cavalry also took his attack point as the core and began to concentrate on attacking him left and right.

After a while, Huo Hai, who was riding a big red horse, took the lead in passing through the grass hole, and the hole was torn bigger and bigger by everyone. Soon, more than a hundred cavalry followed Huo Hai and killed him together.

With the speed of the horse galloping, it is difficult for those straw men to attack directly by slow attacks, and they become one-sidedly beaten.

The most important thing is that those straw men who were cut directly into half by Huo Hai and Chu Yan would be stepped into the soil by thousands of horse hooves of the next thousand horses, and could not be recombined into straw men to fight. At this time, more and more cavalrymen were rescued by the horse team led by Huo Hai, and they turned on their horses and entered the battle to rescue other comrades.

On the city tower in Yecheng, Wu Kui, who was covered in flesh, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know this person's birthday?"

Wu Kui's ability in witchcraft is much stronger than puppet technique. Unfortunately, his question made Li Yi and the other three confused. Who can know the birth date of a strange man from the sky?
