Chapter 285 Hunter Grandmaster, Hidden Drop
The information that Saili risked his life to bring back became worthless as Yang Chang's cavalry approached.
At that time, the Jin camp was in chaos. The commander Wanyan Pucha quickly organized a battle and sent his general Egejin to report to Puluhu with Saili's body.
Puluhu was awakened by the chaos. When he heard that the enemy in Pingbei had launched a surprise attack in the early morning, he hurriedly urged his men to get dressed.
It's good that you are willing to come out of the pass. I will chop off a few heads later, and then we can take over the North Pass in one go.
Puluhu put on his armor and was about to go out when he almost bumped into Egejin who came to report.
"My Lord, disaster has struck!"
"Why are you so flustered? The sky won't fall!"
“See for yourself”
Ege Jin awkwardly turned sideways and pointed outside the tent.
Puluhu glared at him and then rushed out in a flash.
When he saw Saili carrying a bow and arrow, the pride in his heart collapsed in an instant.
"Seri! Seri!"
"Your Highness, General Saili has passed away."
Ege Jin lowered his head and stood aside to remind him.
At this moment, Puluhu's eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed him by the collar and asked fiercely, "Who is it? Who is it? I'm going to kill him!"
"do not know."
Ege Jin shook his head and replied: "The general may have gone to the enemy's pass to scout, but was unfortunately discovered by the archers of the garrison, but he returned to the camp to report the news after being shot."
"Bring me the knife. I want to avenge Sai Li myself!"
"Wait a minute, Grand Prince. A large group of enemies has already approached the south of the village. General Pucha and Deputy General Heifeng are already making arrangements. You should first settle General Saili, and then..."
"I"
Puluhu was filled with rage, but his anger was temporarily suppressed by Egejin's reminder.
Wanyan Pucha's intention was very clear. Saili (Wanyan Zongxian) was not an ordinary person. His father was Aguda's cousin, one of the six Bogile before the reform, and the first Sikong Pu Jianu (Wanyan Yu) of the Jin Dynasty.
(Note: Because the compilation of "History of Jin" was crude, and it is also possible that the Jurchens had a simple way of naming, many names were transliterated to be similar, such as Pucha, Saili, Puluhu, Talan, Sagai, and many other names)
Pu Jianu was brave and good at fighting. He was relied upon by Aguda during the period of annexation of Liao. He served as the deputy general of Nianhan to pacify Yunzhong. Later, he supported Wuqimai's succession and stayed in Shangjing. His son Saili inherited his troops and was subordinate to Oliebu (Wanyan Zongmou) of the Eastern Army.
Saili means "Anle" in Jurchen. According to the original historical process, this person would be known in a special way. It is said that he and Zhao Gou's mother gave birth to two sons, and he was also called King Gaitian by the people of Song Dynasty.
Now, in order to help him gain merit, he was shot and turned into a hedgehog and died in front of the camp. If Puluhu could not deal with it properly, he would not be able to explain to Pu's slaves.
"Carry him into my tent quickly. I'll capture the person who hurt him and then cut off his head and offer it as a sacrifice!"
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Egejin immediately carried Saili's body into the tent. Puluhu even gave up his bed and stood by the bed to mourn for him.
As the eldest prince of the emperor, Buluhu's words and actions would be easily magnified. Even though he had a cooperative relationship with Saili, he had to pretend that he was as sad as if his own brother had died.
As for the battle in the camp, Buluhu was not worried. After the battles in the previous two days, he knew very well that the defenders had only a few thousand people. They were just taking advantage of the scouts to catch up and pretend to be strong.
If we really break into the Jin army camp, wouldn't that be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Puluhu's self-confidence was soon broken by Ege Jin outside the tent. As Yang Chang and his cavalry charged in, they overwhelmed the Jin army who were hastily fighting, so the shouts of killing gradually spread to the central army.
"Grand Prince, hurry, evacuate!"
"What did you say?"
"Evacuate quickly. General Pucha has just issued an order."
In the middle of his words, Egejin swallowed his saliva and continued anxiously: "The enemy today is extremely fierce. The soldiers were hastily prepared and had not eaten breakfast yet. They are completely unable to resist!"
"how is this possible?"
Buluhu didn't believe it and asked angrily: "Our army has many soldiers and strong combat effectiveness, how can we not resist? Wait for me to go and repel the enemy!"
"Your Highness, please think twice. I heard that the brave general Agu from the front army was killed by the enemy as soon as they met. Today's enemy is very special. The commander-in-chief has ordered a retreat first. Please don't make things difficult for me."
"Agu? Killed in one move?"
"Ah."
Seeing Ege Jin nodding, Puluhu's face suddenly fell.
Although A'gu's martial arts skills are not top-notch, he was able to obtain the title of Meng'an through military merit, which shows that his strength is beyond doubt.
According to the descriptions of Shi Xiu and Dai Zong, the most powerful person in martial arts of the Pingbei Army was Zhu Tong, the Generalissimo of the Army with a Beautiful Beard. He was able to kill A Gu in one blow. How could he be an ordinary person?
Spreading false information, these two Han people want to harm me?
When I return to Wenshui, I will arrest them and interrogate them.
"Quick, take Seri's body away."
"Prince, what are you still dawdling about? It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
When Puluhu was indignant, he remembered that Saili's body was still in the tent, so he ordered Egejin to take the body away, but he was interrupted by Heifeng who came before he could finish his words.
"Is it so serious? Saili's body is still in the tent. Where is General Pucha?"
"The governor is organizing the evacuation. Your Highness, please hurry up and at least prepare the horses first. We are afraid that it will be too chaotic to move."
"Not so bad, is it?"
"Who can know this?"
In the end, as the defeated troops came like a tide, they all scrambled to find horses and leave.
Puluhu had no time to take the body away, and was forcibly escorted away from the Jin camp by Egejin, and the Jin soldiers who had no horses almost died.
An early morning raid was over in less than half an hour.
The numerically superior Jin army withdrew, leaving behind a battalion of corpses and baggage. The grain ships that were parked in the river and had not been unloaded were also controlled by Ruan Xiaoqi at the same time. Although Wanyan Pucha led the main force to withdraw, they left almost empty-handed.

Although speed is of the essence in war, one cannot just rush forward all at once. Too long a battle line will easily expose one's weaknesses. Yang Chang had endless power, but his soldiers and horses could not keep up. At that time, the Jin army camp was flashing with light, and there were at least five or six thousand corpses to be picked up.
Yang Chang was reluctant to leave the ground filled with murderous aura, so he ordered not to pursue further, on the pretext of waiting for Han Tao and Liu Tang's rear troops to deal with baggage, food, and siege equipment, while he picked up the corpses as quickly as possible.
Of course, Yang Chang checked the corpses one by one to confirm whether there were any enemies pretending to be dead. This behavior was deeply rooted in people's minds, so no one thought it was wrong.
The corpses will drop for an hour, so act quickly to avoid wasting any.
Before Liu Tang and others arrived, this guy had already taken control of the main areas on the south side of the Jin camp. He was planning to follow the previous attack route and gradually move to the north of the camp when the ugly county horse Xuan Zan suddenly came over.
"Captain, inside the tent next to the central army, there is a body with an arrow shot through the back. It should be a well-known general. Could it be the scout from before?"
"It's very likely. Where is the person? Take me there quickly."
"This way."
Xuan Zan and the excited Yang Chang rode to the outside of Puluhu's tent. With Yang Chang's extraordinary eyesight, he saw the flash of light inside the tent and the arrow shaft stuck on his vest as soon as he dismounted.
It’s really him. He’s caught up with this?
From the moment Saili breathed his last, there was only a moment left until an hour had passed. Even Yang Chang found it incredible and thought to himself that he wanted to see what good stuff would come out.

【Gain 800 murderous points.】
[Obtain the corpse's obsession. After using it, you can learn the biggest secret of this corpse before its death. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]
[I failed to get Princess Xunde and Princess Xing, and I am afraid that even if I conquer Weisheng, I will not be able to get Princess Maode. However, Zhao Gou's biological mother, Concubine Wei, still has her charm. I have made great contributions to the Crown Prince this time. When I go back, I will ask His Majesty to grant Concubine Wei to me in secret, so that I can also be the Emperor Emeritus of the Song Dynasty.]
After reading the corpse's obsession, Yang Chang stood there in a daze. He guessed that since Saili could contact Wuqimai, he must be a royal family general of the Wanyan tribe.
You are such a poor kid, and you dare to covet the princess and the princess? But you have the ambition to be Zhao Gou's father, so you are also the number one figure in the Wanyan family.
Just when Yang Chang was feeling disappointed, a new prompt in his sea of consciousness left him dumbfounded.
[Hunter Grandmaster Random Talent, 'Mountain Stripping' has been triggered and awakened]
When did the hunter become a master? Most of the Jin soldiers have hunter skill drops, could it be that Kuku just picked up the full level?
With the awakening of the Farmer Master and the Riding Master in the front, Yang Chang was looking forward to the Hunter Master's talent, wondering what on earth this [Mountain Stripping] could do?
If we understand it literally, and in the direction corresponding to the hunter's skills, maybe it can automatically skin the prey? But Yang Chang instinctively felt that it was not that simple.
Then, a prompt flashed in the sea of consciousness, unveiling the veil of [Mountain Peeling].
[Mountain peeling, triggering the hidden corpse to drop, do you want to peel it? ]
Are there any hidden drops? What did I miss?
Yes!
[Peel off to obtain attribute defense symbol]
[Strip to obtain the riding skill symbol]
[Peel off to obtain the Gun and Stick Skill Talisman]
"Captain, what's wrong with you? Did you see anything?"
"Ah? No."
Yang Chang put his hands on Saili, and the expression on his face kept changing like clouds. Xuan Zan felt strange and asked in a low voice.
When Yang Chang came to his senses, he found that the flash of the corpse had disappeared, but there was something new on Saili's forehead. There were three talismans on it, one red and two yellow, just like a talisman to suppress zombies.
"Cough cough."
Yang Chang coughed awkwardly twice, then pointed at Sai Li's forehead and said to Xuan Zan: "Can you see anything?"
"Me? Even the general can't see it, so what can I see?"
"Really can't tell?"
"I am not being modest"
Seeing Xuan Zan clasping his fists and lowering his head in shame, Yang Chang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The red and yellow talisman paper is so bright in color. It should be the three talismans that were just peeled off. You will be able to see it as long as you are not blind, unless you are the only one who can see the talisman paper.
"Take a closer look?"
"Please don't make it difficult for me"
"Well, by the way, don't damage the siege equipment stored in the camp. Have Ruan Xiaoqi notify Xiaoer and Xiaowu to load all the empty ships. We don't have many shells with us, and we can use these to attack Taiyuan later."
"Wonderful."
Xuan Zan was overjoyed when he heard this and joked, "The prince of the Jin Kingdom is really righteous. Not only did he leave us a large amount of food, he also sent us so many siege equipment."
"You go ahead and do your work." Yang Chang waved his hand and said, "When Han Tao and Liu Tang lead the infantry to arrive, our cavalry will continue to pursue and try to catch the Jin army off guard again."
"Good good."
Xuan Zan happily turned around and left. There was no one else in the tent, so Yang Chang reached out to remove the talisman.
At that moment, he was really afraid that Saili would suddenly come back to life. He had no problem dealing with living people, but he had no experience in dealing with ghostly zombies.
First uncover the red talisman, and the prompt will pop up in time.
[Attribute defense symbol 'toughness', after using it, this attribute will be awakened, which can enhance the user's physical endurance and passively reduce physical damage by 30%. ]
Damn, even though it can’t compare to my own [Iron Wall], it’s still a good thing.
The farmer's master talent [Plant beans and get beans], the riding master's talent [Control all beasts], the hunter's master talent [Mountain Stripping], these are obviously auxiliary life skills, but when they are at the maximum level, they are all ridiculously strong.
[Riding skill symbol 'Riding Master', after using it, the situation will be awakened, covered, and enhanced. 】
[The Spear and Stick Skill Talisman 'Spear and Stick Mastery', after using it, the situation will be awakened, covered, and enhanced. ]
Yang Chang was excited and stretched out his hand to peel off the yellow talismans one by one, but Saili was unable to get up. Yang also discovered a clue. These talismans seemed to be for others, which meant that he could enhance his companions?
This is interesting. Before, I was worried that the territory would expand and I would not have enough capable people under me.
If he could create a god, everything would be solved. [Mountain Peeling] requires hidden drops to trigger, and it is unknown how many hidden drops there are. If he wants to increase the drop rate of invisibility items, Yang Chang will not be able to create gods in batches.
Take a look at the properties panel, maybe there will be some hints?
Name: Yang Chang
Cultivation: Fifth level of Qi Refining Realm
Fate: Corpse collector
Possessing attributes: Tiger's Strength, Leader, Flying General, Iron Wall, Eagle Eyes, Broken Army
Skills: Good cook, master of sleight of hand, master hunter (mountain stripping), master of riding, master of farmer, master of boxing and kicking, extraordinary sword (above mortals, transcendent, one in a million), minor sumo wrestling, master of spear and stick
Possess special skills: Centipede Step, Meteor Crusher, Eye of Insight, Calming Power, Flurry of Dance, Hanging Hook, Wind Speed Arrow, Flying Feather
Yang Chang looked at the panel and found that not only the hunter's skills were upgraded to the Grandmaster level, but the sword was also upgraded to the Extraordinary level. He was very glad that he stopped picking up corpses, but the newly awakened [Mountain Peeling] did not give the meaning he wanted.
Just as he was stunned, he unexpectedly saw a few lines of small words flash next to the entry of [Mountain Peeling].
Awakening [Mountain Stripping] will passively trigger the following effects: if low-level attributes of the same category are dropped, they will be automatically included in the hidden drop list, and the use of stripping will be prioritized. If it is abandoned, it will return to the normal drop process; if the same type of skills are at the maximum level, and the combat skill level is great success and above, and the life skill level is good and above, they will be automatically included in the hidden drop list, and can only be judged to be stripped or abandoned; all special skills are automatically included in the hidden drop list, and the use of stripping will be prioritized. If it is abandoned, it will return to the normal drop process.
Method of use: stick the talisman between the eyebrows, and recite the mantra [Mountains are unpredictable, fruits are not eaten, the gentleman gets the carriage, the villain strips the house]
After reading it, Yang Chang regained his composure and a smile appeared on his face.
No wonder I couldn’t pick up the full-level skills. It turned out that the passive skill had entered the hidden list. I should try not to waste it in the future. I must pick up the corpses slowly and skin them slowly.
Just then, several familiar voices were heard outside the tent.
"You finished so soon? Why didn't you leave some for us?"
"The Jin soldiers can't win and want to run away. How can we stop them if their legs are longer than theirs?"
"Being a foot soldier is too disadvantageous. If we continue like this, we will just run away."
"Who do you blame? Because you can't ride a horse?"
"I"
