Chapter 532: Stratagem (Part II)

Mu Kui knew that he had met a master today, this chubby old man's cultivation was much higher than himself, and now he was completely passively dodging! Don't look at this kind of match wood is soft and light, but under the indoctrination of the old apprentice's internal force, it is even more powerful than the hidden weapon of ordinary people.

The key thing is that there is still Wu Yue guarding the entrance of the cave, and Wu Yue's cultivation is also a great martial artist, on par with Mu Kui!

Finally, the old apprentice no longer fires match weapons, because Mu Kui is no longer hiding, and he knows that he can't dodge, so it's better to give it a go! The old apprentice's heart was also distressed, most of the matches in his hand were consumed at once, and he had to ask the master to make another batch when he went back!

Wu Yue's eyes were already hot, and a 'Cold Moon Treasure Knife' was facing Mu Kui. Her Yu Shuang and Yu Xue sisters are almost the same, extremely belligerent, and now that they have such a good opponent, Wu Yue of course refuses to let go.

But Mu Kui doesn't have the heart to fight now, he just wants to escape from the cave as soon as possible, as for the food in the cave, he no longer cares, because the old apprentice's 'hidden weapons' just now have already lit a lot of food packets, and the female warriors who came in are also cheering and adding fire, and these grains have begun to burn brightly!

But in the face of Wu Yue's entanglement, Mu Kui couldn't get rid of it for a while, and there was the fat old man next to him who was smiling and watching Wu Yue's enemy array. Mu Kui was in a hurry, and he was ruthless, and he actually cast the 'Critical Nine Thorns', he was desperate......

Wu Yue suddenly felt that the speed and strength of the other party had skyrocketed, and he felt that he couldn't resist it at all, and at this time, Mu Kui's attack power completely exceeded that of ordinary Wu Zun!

In Wu Yue's panic, he repeatedly performed strange footwork to save his life, but he didn't expect Mu Kui to be strong in this aspect, and Ruying followed! Wu Yue couldn't even get rid of Mu Kui with his footwork, and he felt that Mu Kui's black thorn was everywhere around! Wu Yue even pulled out the short knife in his waist, which was able to block the deadly attack, but he couldn't stop it!

In fact, Mu Kui's weapon is a tailor-made assassination weapon similar to a short sword, only how long it is, the whole body is jet black, sharp and sharp, and there is no ordinary sword gauntlet, which looks rather weird! He usually has two black thorns on his body, and when necessary, he will throw one out as a hidden weapon to kill the enemy! And his black thorns are fed with poison!

"Huh? This is a very special exercise, no wonder he can have such a reputation, and he has also killed two martial artists! It seems that if you don't make a move, you can't do it, this little master can't resist it......" The old apprentice whispered to himself in surprise on the side, and then pulled out the kitchen knife in his waist......

"You are looking for your own death, don't blame me!" Mu Kui snorted fiercely, he wants to deal with Wu Yue as soon as possible, this kind of 'Critical Attack Nine Thorns' technique can make people's skills soar by three times, and they can only last half a pillar of incense for a long time, and then they will become extremely weak, and even ordinary first-level martial artists can't beat them! Moreover, it takes at least a month to cultivate, and this kind of overload and powerful burst has huge damage to the muscles and meridians, so Mu Kui is unwilling to perform this method unless it is absolutely necessary!

"Little rabbit, dare to be rampant! I cut, I cut, I cut! Chop! Chop! Unexpectedly, when Mu Kui was hurting the killer, the old apprentice rushed over with the kitchen knife, and he couldn't see any moves, so he saw the shadow of the kitchen knife in the sky, which was much sharper than Mu Kui's black thorn......

In less than half a pillar of incense, Mu Kui stood there with a languid expression, the black thorns in his hands had been cut into several pieces, and the clothes on his body had become tattered, with a disheveled hair and a dull expression......

"Humph! Seeing that your set of exercises is not easy, I won't kill you, you can go! The old apprentice pinned the kitchen knife back to his waist. I still appreciate this Mu Kui in my heart, and under such a stormy attack, I can still respond to several killing moves, which is indeed not simple. If it weren't for the huge gap in cultivation, Mu Kui would really be able to get out of the way! The old apprentice doesn't want to kill him now, and it's a bit embarrassing to kill a great martial artist with the cultivation of a great martial artist! So the old apprentice's heart is a little embarrassed!

Mu Kui looked at the old apprentice in a little surprise, arched his hand, didn't speak, turned around and left, but there was still a trace of gratitude in his eyes, after all, they let him go!

"Let's go too! Now the fire is burning, and if you don't leave, you will be cooked! The old apprentice said to Wu Yue and the female warriors.

"Hmm!" Wu Yue nodded, she was still a little frightened, the fight just now was too dangerous, if it wasn't for the old apprentice's action, she would definitely die!

However, these female warriors around them are all around the old apprentice and are begging for this kind of match that can be struck at a stroke, and they are now familiar with the old apprentice, and they usually call the old apprentice 'Uncle Jiu' or 'Lao Jiu'

The old apprentice smiled and gave each of them ten matches, but his heart ached, there was not much left on his body, how could this thing be so easy to use!

The troops who were guarding the shore and confronting the warships of the 'Seven Princesses' knew that they had been fooled when they saw the billowing smoke coming out of the cave......

In fact, the loss of Xiyuan City is nothing, but the biggest loss is the other two counties of the Ming King's fiefdom, and the granaries of these two counties have not been moved to the cave, but they are heavily guarded.

Princess Ming is already very cautious, now all the soldiers who carry food, whether it is slaves or soldiers in and out of the granary, are shirtless, wearing big trousers, and they have to go through a strict body search, for fear that there will be a little fire to bring in!

But these are useless, I didn't expect these slaves to have a big mouthful of water in their mouths! On such a hot day, drinking water is the most normal thing!

Recently, the granary is also very busy in and out, and the new grain has to be put into storage, and the old grain is replaced first. This is also a necessary step in storing grain so that it can be stored for a longer period of time! And recently, the front line has been constantly calling for grain, and these granaries are also very busy, and if it goes on like this, there will be no stale grain, and half of it will be used!

What I didn't expect was that I couldn't prevent it from being so strictly guarded. The granaries were still on fire, and several grain silos in the two counties were on fire at the same time! Except for the grain that had not yet had time to be transported to the granary, everything else was burned!

On the afternoon of the same day, all the grain stores in the Ming King's fiefdom soared at the same time, and many grain stores were no longer selling. I have heard that now that there is not much grain left, shrewd merchants have begun to sell it. The savvier businesses are already starting to relocate! At that time, the king of Ming will have no food, and he must not forcibly collect it!

When Princess Ming got the letter, her mind was dizzy, but she was still very calm on the surface: "King Zuo Chitose, we still have to take Lingyue Mountain as soon as possible!" Otherwise, it will be a huge burden for all of us to drag it out! ”

"Of course, Madam Princess, don't worry, I will immediately mobilize people and horses to attack Lingyue Mountain with all my might! Please also ask King Ming's men and horses to work together to take Lingyue Mountain as soon as possible! Jialanga nodded and said, in fact, she was also anxious, this side was attacking Lingyue Mountain, and on the other hand, she had to beware of King You's sandstorm taking advantage of the situation!

Princess Ming nodded, and then returned to her bedroom on the grounds of physical discomfort, as soon as she entered the bedroom, Princess Ming fainted, she just insisted that she didn't want others to know about the burning of the granary, for fear of affecting the morale of the army. But now I can't bear it anymore, I didn't expect this little treasure to be so ruthless and burn the grain of the other two counties! Now the food on the front line can only last for three days at most, and when the time comes, I won't be able to take Lingyue Mountain, so ...... The consequences are terrible!

So Princess Ming can't hold on, which makes her more anxious than the defeat on the battlefield, not only will it shake the morale of the army, but also the internal chaos of King Ming's fiefdom, all the shops, civilians and those large and small families will be moved, and I am afraid that the situation will be difficult to control at that time!

……

"What? All burned? The food of the other two armies was also burned? It's bad, it's bad, this time Princess Ming is going to work hard! Originally, they wouldn't have worked together, but now they are forced to work together to fight to the death! Duanmu Qi was pleasantly surprised at first, but then said with a little annoyance, this kind of determination to fight against the water is terrifying, and Lingyue Mountain will usher in the other party's crazy attack!

"Hee-hee! Brother-in-law, why don't you ask me what else I have in mind? Zhu Xiaobao still asked with a grin.

In fact, Zhu Xiaobao was also surprised, he didn't expect Ye Qinghong to do it so ruthlessly this time, burning all the granaries, this sister's mana is heavenly! Of course, her huge influence is limited to the fiefdom of King Ming, and if she radiates outward, her influence will not be so huge!

"What else do you have a plan? Next is a real battle of attack and defense. I estimate that at least a million casualties will be killed or injured on both sides! Alas, I really don't want to see such a cruel and bloody scene! I think that when I pacified Southeast County with the Seventh Princess, 500,000 people died in one battle, and it took a month just to bury those corpses! Many places didn't have time to bury them in time, and they all stinked! It also caused a plague! Duanmuqi shook his head and said with palpitations, although he was the winning side, this feeling was also very unforgettable. I don't want to see it a second time!

"Hmmm! The fire bull they released last time in Jialanga is still there, right? Zhu Xiaobao suddenly asked, yesterday was not to explore the way, Mu Xiong drove out all the fire cattle of Chifen's tribe, lit a fire on the tail of the ox, and these cows ran madly to Lingyue Mountain. So Zhu Xiaobao is now asking these fire oxen.

"Yes! What do you want to do? Duanmuqi asked a little puzzled, but suddenly there was a little inspiration in his heart.

"What? Send these fire bulls back, of course! Well, 20,000 fire cattle are still a bit insufficient, let Hachitu them contribute a little! We're going to give 10,000 here! If you think about it, what a spectacular scene it would be for 40,000 crazy fire oxen, it shouldn't be a problem to crush their 500,000 horses, right? Zhu Xiaobao said with a little expectation.

"Wonderful! I said, brother-in-law, are you really scheming? Can you think of this? When Duanmuqi heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and praised. Then he immediately added: "Well, if I put a sharp knife on the horns of the cow, the impact will be even more terrifying!" I'm going to go to the artisan workshop and let them make horn knives overnight! ”

"Holy! You're even more ruthless than I thought, I'm just hitting people, you're killing people with cows? Zhu Xiaobao also exclaimed in amazement.

The next day, the combined forces of King Ming and King Zuo began to dispatch early in the morning, and yesterday they had already stepped through a wooden card area, and now there is a large wooden card area in front of them, but this time it is much faster! Because King Zuo and King Ming are both a little demanding at all costs and rush over directly.

King Ming is also angry now, as soon as he heard that the granaries of the two counties were burned, he knew that the situation was serious. So he is now more active than Jialanga, and only by taking Lingyue Mountain can he solve all problems. There is food in Lingyue Mountain!

Despite the supervision in the back, it still took a lot of time to pass through this wooden card area, and what is annoying is that there are only a few scattered mines in this wooden card area, which is not worth being so cautious at all!

Immediately afterwards, the catapults and crossbow carts on both sides began to project at each other, although Zhu Xiaobao still had some shells in his hands, but he was not willing to use them, just in case! In addition, it is also to let these soldiers who have not experienced a big war really participate in a big war!

Don't look at these catapults and ballistae are not as powerful as the red cannons, but there are a lot of projections, and the battlefield is full of flying rocks and burning oilcloth bags, as well as a steady stream of iron crossbow arrows. Some of the stones have already smashed into the city walls! Of course, Lingyue Mountain responded quite violently here. Some casualties are starting to appear on both sides!

There were no mines to worry about, and I didn't see the red-coat cannons on the walls firing. King Ming and King Zuo immediately became much more relieved, and looked at each other and smiled. It seems that Zhu Xiaobao's shells and mines have been used up, and without these things, it is not that he has an absolute advantage! King Ming even wants to have two drinks with Jialanji now to celebrate the victory in advance!

The conventional projection is over, Mu Xiong and the two brothers began to ride their horses and rush wildly, they want to avenge the third child, yesterday the old three Mu Biao was stunned by Yu Li's knife cut off the root of his life, although after a night of rescue, his life was saved, but I am afraid that in the future I can only watch them play with women!

In fact, Jialanga also knew about the burning of grain in the two counties of King Ming's fiefdom, but he was also very urban, and he didn't show his face at all, and she was afraid of affecting morale! So today, her men and horses are also working hard, and it is still rare to be attacked by King Zuo so urged!

The formation had already been formed under the walls of Lingyue Mountain, and the soldiers in front of them were holding shields in their hands, waiting for a large-scale impact. According to the conventional routine, it is to carry out a life-and-death hand-to-hand battle first, if you can hold the best, if not, retreat to the city wall, and start to defend strictly, and the attacking side is to start erecting ladders to siege the city!

Braving the constant rain of arrows, Mu Xiong and his people were finally about to rush under the city wall, and he had already taken off the panmen broadsword and was ready to kill! The main force behind also followed closely, and yesterday it was because of the disconnection between the front and back that the female warriors rushed up to slaughter the situation! Definitely not today! Mu Xiong led 200,000 iron cavalry to open the way, followed by a million main forces behind, and there were also 200,000 iron armor troops of King Ming, which were also crushing over!

But the strange thing is that the other party's flags are still densely erected, and they have not been withdrawn at all, according to this distance, these small soldiers carrying the flag should be withdrawn, and they will be taught soon, and staying there can only hinder their own battles! Could it be that the other party has been stupid by his own momentum?

"Rush, kill! Whoever grabs the female warrior of Lingyue Mountain will be counted! There are also a large number of gold and silver treasures in Lingyue Mountain! The brothers rushed in first and grabbed more! Don't lag behind! Mu Xiong also encouraged his people again and again on the horse, so that these warriors were all red-eyed, as if they had seen gold, silver, cattle and sheep all over the ground, and female warriors who had been stripped naked......

Just when there was less than fifty paces away, the formation of Lingyue Mountain suddenly began to change, the soldiers holding shields in front of them began to disperse, and those banners also began to separate to both sides, revealing a herd of fire bulls in the middle, these fire bulls were originally quite honest, but now the tail began to burn again, and they all began to panic back and forth, and those scattered shield soldiers just blocked both sides, flowing out of the middle passage, so that these fire bulls rushed out, there are more than thirty such passages. There were 20,000 fire oxen rushing out!

Mu Xiong quickly stopped his horse, and looked in amazement at the rushing herd of fire cattle mixed with billowing smoke and rumbling iron hooves. Isn't this the fire ox that was released by itself yesterday, and now it has been released back? But there were also two knives tied to the horns, which glittered in the sun.

This is much more ruthless than yesterday's method, yesterday they drove these cattle into the wooden array, and now these cows are tied to the tail of the ox soaked in oil-soaked strings, these strings are slowly and continuously burning, and they will not be extinguished for a while, and these cattle have been maddened by pain. The ox was also carrying a large straw bag on its back, and the straw bag was still on fire......

"Get out of the way! Don't get touched by these cows, there are sharp knives on the horns! Mu Xiong immediately shouted in panic, he didn't expect the other party to use such a vicious trick, these crazy fire bulls are more difficult to deal with than two or three soldiers, not only is they infinitely powerful, but they are not afraid of swords, and they may not be able to kill them with a knife!

Where are you hiding? There are frenzied fire cows everywhere, and they are specifically rushing towards Kixiong, and this is the fire sack on the back of the cow that plays a role, and these cows will not run to the sides when they see that their companions are on fire on their backs, but only to the front!

200,000 iron horsemen can't stop these crazy fire bulls at all, let alone have knives on their horns! Even if the person dodged, but the war horse under the crotch was hit, he was frightened and began to jump and run! Chaos began to erupt on the battlefield......
