How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 519: The Extra 70,000 Are Corpses!

The Khan nodded with a pale face, "Let’s do as the master suggests."

Jing Ci frowned, "Khan, I’m afraid this is inappropriate. This will chill the soldiers’ hearts and make the battle even harder to fight."

Even Tuoba Jun advised, "Khan, such a tactic will only bring short-term victory and won’t benefit us at all."

The Khan gritted his teeth, "No need to say more."

Dada’s years of accumulated resources have been exhausted during this period.

Talents have been depleted, and other tribes dare not send people now.

Even the capital of Dada can’t provide funds to support the war.

If it weren’t for Crown Prince Tuoba Hu holding down the capital, chaos would have ensued.

Thus, they must achieve victory in a short time.

At this moment, the Deserted Mountain.

After rounds of searching, everyone found no trace of Lin Shiyao.

Shu’er said, "Send someone to keep watch, and if anything happens at midnight, report to me immediately."

Upon waking at midnight, Shu’er discovered that many houses were on fire.

Even with guards patrolling constantly, the fire could have been worse.

They quickly extinguished the fire, then news came that part of the crops was destroyed in another area.

Shu’er hurriedly gathered people. After a meticulous screening, they finally identified those controlled by the Corpse Gu.

Shu’er and Xinyue treated them.

Shu’er looked at Xinyue.

"Master, Lin Shiyao is so arrogant; is there a way to make her suffer?"

Xinyue nodded, "Yes."

With this in mind, she said, "I will play the flute, and when I do, her abdominal pain will intensify."

After saying this, Xinyue began to play the flute.

Her range of Gu worm control is larger than usual, especially with the Mother Gu by her side.

The Mother Gu moves fiercely, making the Child Gu even fiercer.

Lin Shiyao felt like she was dying from pain, vomiting several mouthfuls of black blood, and finally fainted from the pain.

Since then, she has had frequent bouts of pain. Originally, the Corpse Gu could have been cultivated quickly, but due to the Gu worms inside her, she couldn’t focus on developing the Corpse Gu.

A fortnight later, at亥时, Gulan Military Camp.

General Zhao received a secret message from someone code-named "Night Owl."

He opened it and upon reading its contents, his face changed instantly.

He hurried to the General’s Mansion and handed the letter to Tang Zan.

"Read this."

Shu’er, sitting nearby, was also drawn to it.

"Corpse Gu Tazi, attacking at midnight."

Tang Peizhong said, "What’s this Corpse Gu about?"

Shu’er had already speculated that the most skilled in making Corpse Gu was indeed Lin Shiyao.

Who would have thought she had infiltrated the Tazi Camp.

Shu’er said, "To create a large number of Corpse Gu is actually quite difficult in a short time."

Tang Zan was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

"This person, Night Owl, always provides very important intel. If it weren’t sufficiently dangerous, he wouldn’t report it."

Shu’er said, "So, this time, the scale of the Corpse Gu is probably not small."

But Shu’er couldn’t figure out what method Lin Shiyao had.

After all, in the original work, there was no mention of any similar plot involving Lin Shiyao.

Lin Shiyao’s plotline was mainly about revenge; otherwise, it was portrayed positively.

Xinyue spoke up, "Earlier, I heard Wuyue mention a quick method for creating Corpse Gu using corpses to raise them."

Now, everything made sense.

Tang Zan said, "Inform everyone to prepare for battle with the Tazi."

Up on the city walls, Tang Zan saw the Tatar army surging at the side gates.

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly.

General Zhao also said, "General Tang, I counted roughly a hundred thousand Tazi."

Hearing this number, others looked even more grim.

"The Tazi received reinforcements before, but didn’t most of those die or flee? Now the Tatar Camp has, at most, thirty thousand."

"Indeed, where did this hundred thousand come from?"

This remark left others in a state of shock.

If the Tazi had received reinforcements recently, there would definitely have been traces, not this silence.

Shu’er looked at Tang Zan, who was also looking at her. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Shu’er said, "If I’m not mistaken, the extra seventy thousand are corpses."

At this thought, everyone felt a chill.

Just then, a gust carried a pungent stench of decaying corpses.

The theory was confirmed.

The soldiers, realizing their next opponents were foul-smelling, unfeeling corpses, instinctively recoiled.

The most crucial part was that these corpses, unless freed from the control of the Corpse Gu inside, would continue attacking them relentlessly.

The scene was utterly terrifying.

Tang Zan commanded, "Everyone, retreat, avoid confrontation."

Then he ordered, "Raise the side gates."

Since the last time the Tatars attacked from the sides, the gates had been upgraded into tall, formidable ones.

Now, they were just as hard to attack as the main gate.

The Tazi were blocked outside the side gates, and Gulan soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, their relief turned into panic.

Because those corpses started piling up to climb over the side gates.

Tang Zan ordered, "Pour the oil!"

Oil was poured down, and then Tang Zan instructed, "Set it on fire!"

As soon as he gave the order, torches were thrown down, and the corpses quickly ignited.

But they felt no pain and kept climbing, albeit slowly.

The sight was horrifying, causing some soldiers to instinctively step back, their faces pale.

Tang Zan commanded, "Use the boulders."

The stones crashed onto the corpses, knocking them down, only for more to climb up in flames.

And so the boulders kept falling.

The attack seemed endless.

Tang Zan continued, "Pour the oil."

He believed that even if they couldn’t burn the Corpse Gu to death, burning away those people’s flesh would leave the Gu worms with nowhere to reside.

The victory was hard-won, with the Dayan Soldiers expending great effort to repel the first wave of Tazi.

Returning, Shu’er looked at Xinyue.

"Master, I want to ask, where in the body do the Corpse Gu typically reside?"

Xinyue answered, "Since they need to control the body’s movements, they naturally reside in the brain."

Shu’er understood; the Corpse Gu were like hairworms, residing in the host’s brain to control them.

Once the hairworm is removed, the host stops moving.

Shu’er said, "Then, if the corpses’ heads are chopped off, the crisis should be resolved."

Xinyue nodded.
