Chapter 397 Pei Feng
It is very far away from Daze City. In the southwest of Daze City, tens of thousands of miles southwest on the edge of Daze City. At the edge of Daze Prefecture, the vast mountains and forests are shrouded in rain and fog.
The sharp whistle sounded in the mountains and forests, like huge eagles whistling in the sky.
Slim figures were swiftly passing through the mountains and forests, turning around from time to time, seemingly casually pulling the delicate short bow in their hands, and firing an arrow into the mountains and forests behind them.
The thin, green light shining, obviously the poisonous arrows wrapped in the mountain wind, made no sound, just like flowing fish, passing through the mountains and forests lightly.
The mountains and forests are extremely lush, with trees and branches intertwined, and in many places, vines and trees are dense, and even snakes and insects are difficult to pass through.
These arrows can easily avoid the trunks of ancient trees like living things, easily pass through clumps of vines, easily avoid leaves and branches, and follow smooth zigzag trajectories, accurately shooting towards their own targets.
The goal is to wear heavy armor and walk through the mountains and forests like an iron pier.
Sparse arrows kept shooting out from the mountains and forests, like the poisonous fangs of poisonous snakes, always giving a fatal blow inadvertently.
Whenever the arrow suddenly flew out of the rain and fog, the soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army hurriedly picked up their shields to block them.
If the reaction speed is a little slower, the arrows will be stabbed into the fragile links of their armor, such as the movable armor gap near their necks, just like those comrades lying beads.
Or they pierced hard through the gap in their face armor and accurately penetrated through the leaking face armor hole.
The arrows were extremely powerful, and the bodies of the Black Phoenix soldiers could not resist the puncture of the arrows. As long as the arrows broke through the flesh and got a little blood, they would be basically dead.
The poisons quenched on these arrows are extremely complex mixed toxins, which are made of at least two or three hundred kinds of vegetative poisons, mineral poisons and biological venoms of venomous snakes and venomous insects.
The mixed toxins are attacking extremely fast, and the toxic reactions are strange. It is difficult to find the unimaginable detoxification pill that can resolve all toxins. The Black Phoenix soldiers who were shot in the arrow often twitched in their bodies, and then they no longer had a breath.
The angry general of the Black Phoenix Army soared into the air, penetrated the dense branches and leaves above, and slung in the sky to look into the distance.
The forests were covered with dense green clothes. Under the cover of the forests, they could not see clearly where the slender enemies were.
The indigenous people who ruled this forest are a kind of human-like group "wood essence".
Their bodies and facial features are not much different from those of the human race. Even woody essence and human race can intermarry and reproduce each other and successfully give birth to children.
Only Wooden Essence has a short and delicate figure, both men and women, and the height is about six feet long. Moreover, they have green hair, and their hair is different due to their age and cultivation.
Their eyes are also green. The more green the eyes are, the higher the purity of their bloodline and the stronger their strength.
Wood spirit is born close to the power of acquired Yi wood, and the royal bloodline among them is innately in line with the power of innate Jia wood. Therefore, they are simply unsolvable in the mountains and forests.
They are the sons of the forest. When they run rapidly in the forest, even the densest bushes will not hinder them, the most brutal human-eating vines will not hurt them, the most brutal beasts will not show their teeth to them, and the most sinister poisonous snakes will not have the intention to hurt them...
They are naturally proficient in the art of wood escape, and most of them master the power of hurricanes derived from the power of wood, and a large number of them master the power of thunder derived from the power of wood, so they are proficient in magic and have amazing combat power.
They are protected by the mountains and forests, preferential treatment... just like the arrows they shoot.
The soldiers of the Black Phoenix Army used strong bows and crossbows in the mountains and forests. The crossbow arrows they shot were not far away, and they would be blocked by tree trunks, branches, vines, shrubs, and various obstacles in the mountains and forests, and could not threaten these wood spirits at all.
The arrows shot out by woody spirit are like fish in the water. They will not touch these obstacles at all, but will accurately attack the key points of the Black Phoenix Army soldiers.
After the Heifeng Army cooperated with the main force of the Shenwei Army to open up Daze Prefecture, it continued to explore new territory in the southwest zone.
As a result, they encountered these difficult wood spirits. On the edge of this forest, they had been entangled with wood spirits for more than two years. They had lost their troops and the losses were several times heavier than before when they opened Daze Prefecture, but they could hardly capture much new territory.
The battle situation stagnated, the soldiers were injured too much, the morale was sluggish, and there were gradually problems with logistics supply.
If it weren't for the personal charm of the chief general of the Black Phoenix Army, the Black Phoenix Army would have been dragged down to pieces.
Outside the forest, on a plain, in a large area of newly opened fields, some people were struggling to clear weeds and take care of crops in the fields.
Next to the field, a military camp of not small size stood there. The walls of civil and industrial mixture were several meters high, and there was an arrow tower every twenty meters. On the city wall, a soldier from the Black Phoenix Army stood there with his waist straight, looking around in high spirits.
There are only two gates in the north and south of the military camp. At this moment, two tower ships more than thirty meters long are passing by at a low altitude and flying towards the south gate.
The light on the surface of the tower ship is dim, and the light curtain emitted by the defense restriction is flickering, which is clearly because there is a problem with the internal power core, or there is a lack of sufficient Yuan energy crystals, and the energy supply required for the operation of the tower ship's formation is insufficient.
Lacking enough energy, although the two tower ships can still fly in the air, they can only rush to the low altitude below a hundred feet.
On the deck of the building, there were a hundred corpses neatly placed, and hundreds of wounded soldiers sat aside in dejected manner.
The soldiers injured by poisoned arrows were undoubtedly dead.
These wounded soldiers were injured in the raid of woody spirit.
Wood spirits are proficient in wood-type spells, wind swords, and thunder magic, and can drive all kinds of strange flowers and plants to launch attacks. Some ancient trees with long-standing climates and almost deformed shapes are driven by them to join the attack, and there are also a large number of beasts, pythons, giant snakes, poisonous snakes and other kinds of attacks.
Fortunately, wood spirits do not like bloody battles at close range, they prefer to attack enemies from a distance with bows and arrows.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be only these hundreds of wounded soldiers on the tower.
A low trumpet sounded in the barracks, and a few black air that appeared like flags above the barracks and left and right, leaving a road, and two buildings flew into the barracks from the passage where the black air was allowed to move out, and slowly docked on the west side of the barracks.
The central army of the camp is a large wooden palace. The halls covering an area of several acres are made of logs. The logs as thick as water tanks have not even been scraped clean. They are so roughly structured together to form this barbaric hall.
An elite warrior in heavy armor patrolled the hall, and there were a large number of fixed whistles densely covered.
Among the wood spirits, there are many radical guys. In the past two years, near the central army of the Black Phoenix Army, the senior management of the Black Phoenix Army has been attacked by more than a dozen waves of fierce attacks, and even several generals of the Black Phoenix Army were seriously injured.
It was precisely because of the violent assassination of the wood spirit that the Black Phoenix Army was forced to buy a powerful defensive formation, which was the black air shaped like a flag floating in the sky. This large formation covered the entire camp, effectively avoiding the harassment of the wood spirits, and causing huge damage to the wood spirits that were assassinated later.
But because of the purchase of this defensive formation... the economic situation of the entire Black Phoenix Army is very worrying at this moment.
"Military Master, it's useless to beat me to death..." Because of the rainy weather, the sky was dreary and the light was very bad, but the hall was illuminated by beast oil torches. The master Bo, who was responsible for the logistics management of the Heifeng Army, spread his hands and looked helplessly at the Heifeng Army's commander Pei Feng.
"The supply of food and grass can last for three days, but all kinds of military medicine pills, various elixirs, etc. are completely empty." The master, wearing a long blue cloth gown that was almost washed white, was inappropriate and a thick heart protection mirror on his upper body, sighed long.
"Gold, silver, and the jade, gems and other things that have been mined these days, and there are still many, three warehouses piled up."
"But if these things cannot buy supplies and supplies, it is useless."
The Lord Bo sighed again: "Since we offended Sima Lang, no matter how much money we have, we can't buy a piece of food, a pill, an arrow, and a sword from the Shenwei Army..."
He is tall, half a head taller than an ordinary man. He is slender and agile, with strong three-dimensional features, sword eyebrows, thin lips, high nose bridge, extremely white skin, extremely black hair color, extremely rosy lips, and extremely bright contrast of black, white and red, giving people a strong visual impact. Pei Feng, who was born with great beauty, sat quietly behind a large case, with a pair of extremely lively beautiful eyes full of chill.
Pei Feng, the female leader of the Heifeng Army.
Wearing a black battle robe, black phoenix feather ring armor, and a blood-colored cloak. Her hair was combed in a high bun like a man. Pei Feng, who was tightly erected with a blood-colored hair rope, sat quietly there, like a solidified black flame.
In the huge hall, dozens of senior officers of the Black Phoenix Army said nothing, and everyone looked at Pei Feng helplessly.
These Black Phoenix Generals are good at fighting and killing.
But if they want to let them manage their livelihoods, earn money, and coordinate the logistics and supplies of the army... they really don't have the ability.
They fought and killed all their lives, and they fought with Pei Feng's dead father for the rest of their lives, and they only learned to fight in this life.
When Pei Feng's father was still there, they never had to worry about logistics and supplies.
At that time, they were dressed in a furious horse, had a lot of gold in their bags, drank the strongest wine, rode the strongest horse, held the most beautiful woman, and killed the most difficult enemy. With the knife in their hands, the sword in their hands, and their sweat and blood, under the leadership of Pei Feng's father, they forced a down-and-out general, almost to be removed from the Great Jin Army, and won the title of first-rank official.
Pei Feng's father is their military leader, their elder brother, their benefactor, and the person they have loyal to with their lives and souls in this life.
Therefore, they will continue to use their lives and souls to be loyal to Pei Feng.
But... Pei Feng is not her father after all.
Even though Pei Feng is a young man of the same age as the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, she is too young after all, and she is too lacking in training. In the past few years, she has grown a lot, but it is still not enough.
Therefore, the once brilliant armor on these generals gradually disappeared.
Their once neat and new battle robe and cloak also broke holes and patched in inconspicuous places.
They used to eat elixirs used to assist in cultivation as snacks and candies, but now, any elixir is extremely precious to them.
After years of hard work, the Black Phoenix Army, which once supported one million troops, has only been left with less than half of the number, and the remaining half of the soldiers, in terms of cultivation and combat power, are not as good as the elite troops who were arrogant and arrogant back then.
Does this Black Phoenix Army still have 10% of its combat power at its peak?
I don’t know, no one knows, no one wants to think about it, no one dares to think about this problem.
The worst thing is that after being entangled with the wood essence for more than two years, the Black Phoenix Army is still losing blood.
"Grain, why don't you harvest the crops outside in advance?" A black-skinned man, who was nearly three meters tall and extremely strong, made his suggestion.
"Uncle Ma, only ripe crops can be eaten by people... The crops nowadays can only be considered green grass, which is for animals to eat." Pei Feng narrowed his eyes and rubbed his temples hard with his right index finger.
"I'm poor!" Pei Feng sighed, pointed at the many generals of the Black Phoenix Army present and murmured: "I see that the faces of uncles seem to have a big word "poor" engraved with an axe!"
"I can know without looking in the mirror, so do I on my face."
"Hey, where can I make a fortune?" Pei Feng murmured to himself: "Where can I make a fortune... Or, we tied up Sima Lang and blackmailed him?"
The people in the hall didn't say anything.
Blackmail Sima Lang?
That guy was a lieutenant general of the Shenwei Army, with a rank of first-rank general, and his status was equivalent to that of Jiang Hu, the commander of the Right Battalion of the Shenwu Army, but the organization of the Shenwei Army was also placed there, with the rank of first-rank general. Sima Lang directly controlled the army dozens of times that of Jiang Hu, and the indirect influence of the auxiliary army a hundred times that of Jiang Hu's direct troops...
Not to mention, Sima Lang is a serious royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty, and is also the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty's "King of Cang" and one of the most competitive heirs of the future Lord of the Shenwei Palace.
Such a person kidnapped him?
Do you know how many master guards he has around?
For Sima Lang, the Black Phoenix Army can kill ant with just one finger, that's all.
The sound of rapid footsteps came in, and a Black Phoenix Army Captain came to the door of the hall with an excited look on his face and shouted loudly: "Military Master, there is a letter from Master Qian San... Big Fat Sheep, hehe, Big Fat Sheep Hey!"
Pei Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. She slowly stood up, pressed her hands on the long desk, and said in a deep voice: "I'm telling me in detail, is that guy Sima Lang sent someone to Dazezhou again? Haha, this time, what idiot did he send here again?"
"Well, this time I sent it was a commander of the state army..." The captain entered the hall and said hesitantly: "The guy's name is Huo Xiong, who is said to be from the Shenwu Army. I don't know why, but he actually transferred directly to Dazezhou from the Shenwu Army."
"From the Shenwu Army?" Pei Feng and the generals in the hall were stunned.
The black-skinned man, Uncle Ma, suddenly cursed: "Military Master, please do whatever he cares about Shenwei Army and Shenwu Army. Can anyone come to Dazezhou have good people? As I think, I will do him just like before!"
Pei Feng hesitated for a moment and frowned: "Shenwu Army? No... this time, I will go back and see it myself. We have offended Sima Lang. If we provoke Shenwu Army again..."
Chapter completed!
