Chapter 486 The ghost soldiers attack back!
"Deception?" Princess Beiyan snorted coldly, "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery is nothing but a futile struggle."
"He thinks an empty city can deter me? How naive!"
She raised her hand and pointed at the city wall: "Pass the order, the army will enter the city immediately! I want to see what secrets are hidden inside this city wall!"
"yes!"
With her order, those "ghost soldiers" rushed towards the open city gate like a tide, taking heavy and stiff steps.
In the eyes of Princess Beiyan, there was no suspense in this war from the very beginning.
Inside the city wall, the streets were empty, the shops were closed, and there was a dead silence.
The "ghost soldiers" advanced unhindered and quickly occupied the main streets.
Just when Princess Beiyan thought she had secured victory and was about to enter the city in person to enjoy the fruits of victory, something strange happened!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, the deafening sound of war drums rang out from all directions of the city!
Immediately afterwards, countless Pingzhou soldiers suddenly appeared on the roofs, alleys, and arrow towers that were originally empty!
They drew their bows and arrows, and the torches in their hands illuminated the surroundings as bright as day!
"Shoot!"
At the command, arrows rained down!
Although ordinary arrows caused limited damage to the "ghost soldiers", the dense rain of arrows still slowed down their movements.
At the same time, the ambushers hidden on both sides of the street, holding spears and shields, rushed out from all corners like tigers descending from the mountains, dividing and surrounding the "ghost soldiers" pouring into the city!
"We've fallen into a trap!" The deputy general beside Princess Beiyan's face changed drastically.
Princess Beiyan's brows were slightly furrowed under her mask, but she was not panicked.
This little trick was not enough to move her.
"A bunch of rabble, you think you can fight against my ghost soldiers?" She sneered, took out the black bone whistle from her waist and put it to her lips.
The sharp and rapid whistle sounded throughout the battlefield again!
This is the order to urge the "ghost soldiers" to attack violently!
She was confident that she could tear these stubbornly resisting Pingzhou troops into pieces!
However--
The whistle sounded.
Those "ghost soldiers" surrounded by the Pingzhou Army did become more manic, and the red light in their eyes became more intense.
However, they did not attack the surrounding Pingzhou soldiers frantically as the Princess of Beiyan had expected.
Some of the "ghost soldiers" began to attack each other, roaring and biting, and the scene was once in chaos!
Some of the "ghost soldiers" actually stopped moving and stood there blankly, as if they had lost their orders!
What's more, a few of the "ghost soldiers" actually turned around and let out threatening growls towards the city gate, where Princess Beiyan was!
“This… How is this possible?!”
Princess Beiyan tightened her hand around the bone whistle, and for the first time, her eyes behind the mask revealed an expression of incredible horror!
Her ghost soldiers...are out of control?!
No, not out of control!
Someone... is using another kind of instruction to interfere with her control!
Who is it?!
Princess Beiyan's fingertips were icy cold, and the black bone whistle was almost crushed by her.
Her ghost soldiers, her proud and invincible killing weapons, were now killing each other in the city like a group of mad dogs.
Who has the ability to interfere with her orders and even... reversely control her ghost soldiers?!
Her eyes quickly swept across the towering city walls and the roofs inside the city.
Inside the city wall, the morale of the Pingzhou army was high.
They witnessed with their own eyes that the "ghost soldiers" who had been ferocious and invulnerable to swords and guns before were now in unprecedented chaos.
Like a madman, he chopped at his fellow creatures beside him, making dull collision sounds and beast-like roars.
Or like a puppet that has lost its soul, it stands still, allowing the Pingzhou army's spears to pierce its body without any reaction.
"kill!"
Deputy General Wang was the first to react. He raised his arms and shouted, his voice a little hoarse with excitement.
"General, your plan is brilliant! Soldiers, follow me and kill! Completely destroy these monsters!"
The soldiers of the Pingzhou Army had been suppressed by these "ghost soldiers" for too long. Seeing the enemy in disarray, they would not hesitate any longer.
They shouted and rushed out from all directions, mercilessly attacking the "ghost soldiers" with their weapons.
For a moment, the situation inside the city was reversed!
On top of the city wall, there is a relatively secluded corner.
Chu Ruohan held the captured black bone whistle in her hand, beads of sweat on her forehead, and her face was a little pale.
Interfering with Princess Beiyan's orders was extremely draining on her mind.
She pursed her lips tightly and played the instrument with full concentration.
The whistle that flowed from her lips was completely different from the sharp and rapid instructions of Princess Beiyan.
Sometimes it was a soothing melody that she had previously figured out in the dungeon, which could temporarily calm the "ghost soldiers".
Sometimes, there are some discordant, short syllables with strong interference.
It was these seemingly chaotic whistles, like countless invisible silk threads, that entangled Princess Beiyan's orders, causing the "brains" of those "ghost soldiers" to fall into unprecedented confusion.
She could feel that the woman in the golden mask below the city was frantically trying to regain control with a sharper and more penetrating whistle.
But Chu Ruohan did not back down.
She knew this was her only chance.
In her mind, she kept recalling Doctor Qian's analysis of the "ghost soldiers" and the reactions of the "ghost soldiers" in the dungeon to different syllables.
She even made a bold attempt to subtly displace and superimpose the syllables that could trigger the frenzy of the "ghost soldiers" with the commands played by the Princess of Beiyan on the battlefield.
What she wants is not just comfort, but... chaos!
"puff--"
A mouthful of slightly sweet and fishy blood spurted out from the mouth of a "ghost soldier". His chest was pierced by his companion's sharp claws, and he fell down softly.
Such scenes are constantly being played out in various places in the city.
Princess Beiyan's breathing had become heavy under her mask.
She stared at the out-of-control "ghost soldiers" in the city, then suddenly looked up at the city wall.
The intermittent whistle that interfered with her commands was like a maggot in her tarsal bones, making her furious.
She was almost certain that the person was on top of the city wall!
"Gu Junze!" She screamed, her voice piercing the battlefield. "Is this your backup plan? Playing tricks?!"
She tried to use words to provoke Gu Junze and disturb the mind of the whistleblower.
However, there was no response from the city wall.
The interfering whistle sounded neither fast nor slow, yet it precisely undermined her control.
Gu Junze stood behind a hidden arrow tower, quietly observing everything on the battlefield.
There wasn't much expression on his face, but the tightly gripped hilt of the sword revealed his inner unrest.
Haner, she did it!
She really found a way to restrain these "ghost soldiers"!
But at the same time, he also knew that Chu Ruohan had put herself in the most dangerous situation.
Once the Princess of Beiyan locked onto her location...
