With a new position and a new leader, the working atmosphere is naturally different. Different from the indecisiveness of the marshal of the night tour, the marshal of the day tour likes to do things like a quick knife and mess, and has cultivated a group of subordinates with a roaring personality. The yin general of the former army of the Japanese tour is called Shan Wuji, who is Cheng Youliang's new boss. The Yin general of the right army is called Xia Yi, and the Yin army of the rear army is called Huang Li.

However, the Japanese guerrilla army has less "old fritters" like Gan Sheng, and has more execution. In all fairness, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese guerrilla army is indeed a little stronger than that of the night guerrilla army.

The format of the meetings of the military departments of the two armies is also very different. The marshal of the night tour likes to hold a meeting, and officers at both the general and colonel levels can participate, and it is famous: "work together." But often, because of disagreement, nothing can be discussed in the end.

Marshal Riyou hates people and talkative, and generally holds a meeting on him and his four yin generals and five people, and everything is decided after discussion in this small circle. This gave me more opportunities to speak at the meeting, and I was able to boldly put forward some of my own ideas and suggestions.

It would take fifteen days to get from the underworld to the Tomb Mountain at a normal pace. But if it's so grinding, I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold when I get there.

I used to wander around the underworld with caravans when I was in Zuoqiu City, and now I have a map case, and I know the terrain of the underworld better. Since the journey was long and the time was tight, I suggested that the marshal of the day tour make more use of the Yin veins and underground rivers to make rapid marches, and not have to be confined to walking in a straight line.

Because the Yin army marched with a large army, and out of secrecy considerations, they generally walked around the Yin cities in various places to avoid misunderstandings. Moreover, the Yin army is an army, and there is no naval army, so they may not have thought about building ships at all. In fact, the fastest way to travel through the underworld is by water.

Therefore, I suggested that the marshal of the Japanese tour make a special case and first take the troops to Jiuqu City, a Yin City near the water, which is closest to the prefecture, and requisition local ships to transport the troops. Along the underground river outside Jiuqu City, you can go directly to the downstream more than 100 kilometers away. This journey alone can save at least two days of marching time compared to taking a completely overland route.

However, the only joint that needs to be cleared in this way is to first communicate with the city lord of Jiuqu City, and how to pay the boat fare.

When Marshal Riyou heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "What money do you give back?" Jiuqu Lao'er, dare not give me this face? Just do as you say! ”

Sure enough, as soon as we arrived outside Jiuqu City, the city lord sent people out of the city nervously to inquire about the Yin army's intentions. When he figured out that the Japanese guerrilla army was only here to borrow a boat to transport troops, the envoy of the city lord immediately breathed a sigh of relief and agreed on the spot.

Hey, in their eyes, the emotional yin army is the same existence as bullies and bandits, just passing by, as long as you don't reach out for money!

In addition to taking the water route as much as possible, I also fully considered the location of the various yin veins, especially the ones that went straight up and down. Because there is an updraft in the yin vein, it is very labor-saving when it needs to go up and down vertically, and it can be used as a natural lift, which is much stronger than hard climbing.

Because of the practical results achieved by taking the Jiuqucheng waterway earlier, Marshal Riyou also fully adopted my opinion in formulating the marching route thereafter. In this way, the Japanese army had to walk for a much smaller amount of time, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain five days earlier than originally planned.

According to the accurate information found by the spies in advance, the ghost army dispatched about 3,000 troops this time and was gathering at a yin vein below the ghost market in the Deserted Tomb Mountain, and it should be planned to directly break into the ghost market above through a yin vein exit to create chaos.

At the pre-war meeting, I raised with some concern whether the Yin cultivators in the ghost market should be notified first, so that they could be prepared to avoid innocent casualties.

But Marshal Riyou, who seemed to have been obedient to me after the expedition, directly threw a black face at me this time, and choked: "I notified them in advance, they will definitely hide and not open the ghost market, and the ghost army will definitely notice the abnormality immediately." If we let the ghost army slip away without waiting for us to make a move, wouldn't it be in vain for us to come all the way here? ”

That's true, but ......

Marshal Dayyou did not give me a chance to speak again, and directly began to arrange the tactics of the offensive. His tactics are also very simple, that is, the soldiers are divided into two ways, attacking at the same time from both ends of the Yin Vein, and catching turtles in an urn for the ghost army!

Led by Shan Wuji, the Yin general of the former army of the Japanese tour, plus Xia Yi of the right army and the left army led by me, the forces of the three armies attacked from the bottom of the yin vein. Marshal Dayyou personally led the Chinese army and the rear army to take advantage of the night to go up to the ground first, and then attack down from the exit of the Yin Vein.

Since the number of troops dispatched by the ghost army was far smaller than expected, and even inferior to ours in sheer numbers, there was nothing wrong with carrying out such a bold attack plan.

The armies marched separately to the designated positions, and there was no need to issue a unified code before they could attack. Of course, in the crooked underground caves, it is indeed difficult to send accurate codes from miles apart, and at this time, it is completely dependent on tacit understanding.

After I, Shan Wuji, and Xia Yi led the troops into the cave where the ghost army was assembled, we found that the ghost army was lying on the ground in a sparse manner, and weapons and equipment were thrown everywhere, and it seemed that they had no intention of preparing to meet the enemy at all. Of course, we won't let go of this excellent sneak attack opportunity, and immediately rush in, like chopping melons and vegetables, and beat that group of ghost troops to pieces!

I paid attention to it during the battle, and I didn't see the figure of the ghost handsome in it, it seems that this time it didn't personally lead the team, no wonder this group of ghost troops will be so slack, and in turn we will be attacked by sneak attack.

It seems true that the ghost army did not expect us to come so quickly, or that their own troops were rushing to meet us before they could assemble them. Soon, the ghost army lost the cave position below the Yin vein, and all of them rushed into the Yin vein. The front army led by Shan Wuji fought the most bravely, and rushed into the Yin vein without thinking.

However, the yin qi in the yin veins is dense, and the densest part is like a liquid, so people's actions will inevitably be stagnant, but ghosts can still move freely. The Yin army rarely trains and fights in the Yin veins, and for a while, it feels very twisted. Especially the ghost army is above, and the yin army is below, and the attack with his head up is naturally not as strong as the jump attack.

The ghost army saw that there was an opportunity, and they turned around and fought back. Shan Wuji had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the Yin Vein, and stayed in the cave below the Yin Vein, and the two sides fought evenly at the entrance of the Yin Vein for a while, and the battle situation was temporarily stalemate.

However, soon, when the ghost army learned that Marshal Riyou, the exit at the top of the Yin Vein, had also outflanked it with his troops, and began to mess up their positions and retreat one after another.

A ghost who appears to be taking the lead will shout in the Yin Vein: "Retreat from the alternate exit!" ”

Alternate exits? And an outlet?

At this time, we realized that the information obtained by the spies was not as accurate as we thought. The Yin vein is very long, and together with the cave below, it is in the shape of a "Zhan", and the Yin army outflanks only the top exit and the bottom cave, and there is a spare exit in the middle of the section that can go straight to the ground.

But at this time, the remnants of the ghost army have begun to flee, and we can't afford to regret or be annoyed anymore, so we can only order our soldiers to launch a pursuit.

However, the ghost army lacked command and dispatch in the panic, and the remaining about 2,000 ghost soldiers were suddenly crowded at the narrow three-way intersection in the middle of the Yin Vein, and there was a "traffic jam". The Yin army attacked up and down, and once again killed the ghost soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, and at the same time captured a large number of prisoners. In the end, less than a thousand ghost soldiers escaped through the alternate exit.

The left army of the Japanese tour led by me followed closely behind the deserters of the ghost army, and rushed out of the Yin vein exit first. It turned out that this spare small exit was hidden in a deep and dark cave, similar to the Yin Vein exit under the Wind Valley Ridge in the South Pavilion.

Because it was late at night in the sun, and the area around the Deserted Tomb Mountain was a wilderness, there should be no people, so I boldly ordered the soldiers to continue to pursue outside the cave, and strive to completely annihilate the enemy in the wilderness.

But when I got out of the cave, I found that there was a dense forest in front of the cave entrance, which was filled with a very thick mist, and there seemed to be a faint green light flashing from time to time. Needless to say, that place must be a ghost market run by the local Yin cultivator!

The ghost soldiers who fled in the wilderness panicked and ran in the direction of the ghost market. I secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly urged my subordinates to follow, and I rushed to the ghost market with the dog riding battalion led by Liu Han. Before I could go inside, I heard an exclamation erupt from inside.

"Hey! Where did you come from? How come you've never seen it? ”

"Wow! Help! ”

"Mom! These ghosts are starting to kill! ”

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm a ghost too! An honest grave ghost! Ah......h

I hurriedly rode the Cerberus through the thick fog of the ghost market, only to find that there was already a lot of chaos inside. Those escaped ghost soldiers mixed with the old customers in the ghost market, and they couldn't tell which ones were good and which were bad ghosts!

The stall owners who were doing business in the ghost market were also too busy to take care of themselves, and the yin cultivators who had practiced yin gong began to organize themselves to save themselves, forming a circle to resist the attacks of the ghost soldiers. And several of the unlucky people who were left alone and had no Yin Gong cultivation died under the swords and guns of the ghost soldiers.

"Scatter and catch ghosts!" I shouted a shout of orders to the men who followed behind me, and finally confessed, "Be careful not to kill the wrong grave ghosts!" ”

As a result, the Yin soldiers of the Left Army of the Japanese Tour immediately dispersed, and began to capture the ghost soldiers who fled in all directions in groups of ten or eight. The situation in the ghost market was slowly controlled, but there were still many old tomb ghost customers who took the initiative to run out of the fog array caused by the ghost market flag in order to avoid trouble, wanting to escape from this dangerous place.

"Bang!"

"Ahh It's so bright! Burn us to death! ”

With the sound of a huge firework, the tomb ghosts who had just escaped from the fog burst into screams. I wonder what's going on outside?

"Click! Click! ”

Without warning, the flags of the fog burst one after another, and the fog began to dissipate. A strange army has broken into the ghost market from the remaining fog!
