Everyone on the city wall heard the exclamation and looked outside the city. They saw dozens of black shadows rising from the Qingtang army and flying towards the Qingtang Acropolis.
Because the darkness restricted the line of sight, everyone couldn't see clearly what these black shadows in the sky were, but what the Qingtang people sent out was definitely not something good, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"what is that?"
"It can't be the wizard of Qingtang, right? Want to use witchcraft to fly over the city for reconnaissance?"
"I haven't heard of any witchcraft in Qingtang that can fly...could it be something like a paper kite?"
"They don't look like kites, they look more like people, a group of chubby people."
Different from ordinary soldiers, Qin Shaoyou used [Bright Eyes] to see these things flying from the Qingtang army very clearly.
Before he could speak, Yu Huyue issued an order and asked the soldiers to control the sky lanterns and shine them on things flying in the night sky.
Suddenly there was a gasp and curses from the city wall.
It turns out that what was flying in the sky was indeed not the Qingtang wizard, but it was not a kite either, but pieces of human skin!
Under the influence of witchcraft, these human skins bulged up like human-shaped balloons.
Although the appearance of the human skin was slightly distorted after being stretched, the soldiers on the city wall could still identify them. These were the soldiers who had been threatened by the Qingtang barbarians and asked them to yell at the city but refused.
.
These brave soldiers who refused to cooperate with foreign enemies were not only killed by the Qingtang barbarians, but also skinned and made into weird human-skin kites.
These human skin kites can also speak, and they all shouted:
"Defeated, defeated, tens of thousands of troops were completely destroyed."
"Marquis Dongchuan is dead."
"The only way to survive is to give up resistance, otherwise we will all be buried alive after the city is breached!"
The defeatist counselors, after a brief period of astonishment, came to their senses and hurriedly offered suggestions:
"The people of Qingtang must have created these human-skin kites not only to disgust us and lower our morale. Maybe they also used witchcraft on these human-skin kites to use their eyes to spy on the situation in the city and deploy defenses! The two of them
Sir, shoot them down quickly!"
"You are right. These human skin kites have really been cast with witchcraft. Not only can they spy on the situation in the city, they may even be hiding voodoo."
Yu Huyue squinted his eyes, looked at the human-skin kites flying in the air, and ordered: "Instruct me to shoot these human-skin kites with divine machine cannons and ballistae."
The order was quickly passed down, and several divine machine cannons and ballistae on the city wall fired cannonballs and huge crossbow arrows at the human-skin kites flying in the sky.
But the human-skin kites released by the Qingtang wizard were extremely flexible and easily avoided the cannonballs and huge crossbow arrows. Only one of them reacted a little slower and was scratched by the cannonball. Its skin was broken and deflated, and it swayed.
It fell to the ground.
"useless."
"Dare to resist? I have already remembered your appearance. You will all die!"
The human-skin kite let out a sharp laugh in the night sky, seeming to laugh at the useless efforts of the people on the city wall.
Although the shooting effect was not good, there was no look of worry or panic on the faces of Qi Longfei and Yu Huyue, and they were still very calm.
Yu Huyue waited until the human-skin kites flew closer before giving the order: "Give me the order to have the archers on the city wall shoot these human-skin kites."
Seeing this, the defeatist counselors admonished them again: "General, even divine machine cannons and crossbows can hardly shoot down these kites, how can ordinary archers hurt them? I'd better ask you two, or...
Please ask Mr. Wei and Uncle Bai Qingjiang to take action."
Yu Huyue shook his head and said: "If we take action, won't we be exposed? Of course I know that ordinary archers can't shoot these human kites. I just want to make the Qingtang people think that we have nothing to do but be furious. As for the situation in the city and the deployment of defenses, let's
These people, Pi Yuan, look good. Now the flood in the city has just receded, it is a time of chaos, and the garrison has just been stationed on the city wall. What do you think the Qingtang people will think when they see this?"
Before those defeatist counselors opened their mouths, Qin Shaoyou analyzed Yu Huyue's intention of doing this.
"The people of Qingtang will think that all these chaos are caused by the death of Marquis Dongchuan and there is no one in charge in the city. Maybe they will despise us because of this and try to start an internal fight among us. General Yu is an old... cough
Hey, you are showing your weakness to the enemy."
"You want to say that I am cunning? The way to be a general is to be as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox."
Of course Yu Huyue would not know that what Qin Shaoyou wanted to say was 'Old Yin Bi' rather than 'Old Cunning'.
He glanced at Qin Shaoyou and couldn't help but like this young man who could keep up with his ideas.
If Qin Shaoyou was from the military, he would want to be transferred to his subordinates, where he could be trained and polished. In time, he might become a strong general.
It's a pity that Qin Shaoyou is from the Demon Suppression Division, and he has already become the commander of the Red Envoy at a young age. Even if he wants to poach people, Qi Longfei and Lu Bing will probably not agree.
Those defeatist counselors also figured it out at this moment, and felt that Yu Hu's leap to show weakness to the enemy would be conducive to the aftermath of the surprise attack out of the city.
But they were worried: "But general, didn't you say that there might be voodoo hidden in these human kites?"
"It doesn't matter. As far as I know, the red-clothed messenger has a secret medicine that can expel voodoo."
When Yu Huyue said this, he turned to look at Qi Longfei.
However, Qi Longfei raised his hand and pointed at Qin Shaoyou: "Don't look at me, that secret medicine was refined by Commander Xiao Qin."
"oh?"
Yu Huyue looked at Qin Shaoyou. Although he didn't say anything, his expression already revealed his inner thoughts at the moment: You kid can also make medicine? Are you so versatile?
Qin Shaoyou took out a bottle of witch salt from the [Human Arsenal]: "It's not a secret medicine, but a special salt that can be used for cooking and can also eliminate voodoo."
The effect of Qin Shaoyou's witch salt had been proven in previous voodoo outbreaks. After hearing the story, the defeatist counselors immediately felt relieved.
Qi Longfei saw the human-skin kite flying closer and closer, and took out a conch from his arms.
"It's not messy enough on the city wall, let me add some stuff."
Then he put the conch to his mouth, moved his cheeks and blew hard.
The conch made no sound when it was blown, but a mist was blown out and enveloped the city wall.
When Cui Youyou saw this, his eyes lit up, he poked Qin Shaoyou with his elbow, and whispered: "The illusionary fog created by this conch is much more powerful than your mirage."
Qin Shaoyou nodded. The illusion fog created by this conch was stronger than the mirage bead in terms of scale and speed.
I just don’t know how effective the illusion is, but it’s definitely extraordinary to have the commander-in-chief of the red-clothed messenger by your side.
Cui Youyou couldn't help but provoke: "How about, after this battle, you ask Commander Qi to give me this conch to study? Maybe I can improve and upgrade your mirage."
"Forget it." Qin Shaoyou shook his head without hesitation: "Aren't you going to destroy two supernatural items? I'm not stupid! If you really want to study it, you can ask Commander Qi to bring it up. See if he handed over the conch.
If I want to study you, I’ll cut you into slices and study you.”
Cui Youyou thought about the consequences seriously and said with an awkward smile: "Uh... let's forget it."
At this time, the human-skin kites also flew over the Qingtang Acropolis.
The arrows fired by the soldiers on the city wall, let alone hurting them, could not reach the height at which they could fly.
The scenes in the city were conveyed to the wizard who controlled them through the red eyes of the human skin kite.
After the human-skin kites flew around the Qingtang Acropolis, they all laughed strangely and screamed: "Surrender and avoid death!" Then they exploded with a "bang bang" and dropped a black mist.
