397 Expedition to the Town of Spades

After the troops were ordered, Gan Sheng rode a tall hellhound, pointed ahead, and shouted: "The whole army is on the march!" ”

The 1,000 people of the night tour army immediately lined up in a long snake formation, passed through the Ghost Gate Pass in turn, and headed in the direction of the town of spades. There are a total of ten yin veins outside the underworld, leading to various yin cities, secret realms, and dead places. As a professional army, the Yin Army naturally drew maps of all the main roads and checkpoints in the underworld in advance for various military purposes.

This military map is drawn in a small box and viewed through a perforscope as if looking at a kaleidoscope. What's even more amazing is that this kind of map is 3D, which is not as difficult to understand as a traditional flat map, and is most suitable for the special and complex terrain of the underworld.

Of course, such a map case is actually a special Yin artifact, and only the underworld can make and use it, and it is a confidential object. Only an officer above the rank of Yin General like Gan Sheng can be equipped with one, and it will never be easily passed on.

Wang Song really did a good job. When they set off, the baggage battalion led hundreds of large snails loaded with various armaments and supplies, and lined up at the back of the team to accompany them slowly. He did such a good job that I was even assigned a Cerberus as a mount.

I eat a lot of Cerberus meat, and it's not uncommon in the gladiatorial arena, but riding it is the first time in my life.

Before I set out, a ghost servant who was in charge of raising Cerberus handed me the reins and asked me if I knew how to ride.

I'm sure I'm shaking my head!

He said, "This Cerberus has been tamed, and if you cultivate its trust, it will listen to you." ”

"How to cultivate?" It's easy for me to listen to it, but I don't know the bottom of it at all.

"Cultivate with this." The ghost servant smiled and stuffed me with a packet of jerky.

I picked it up and took a closer look, and it turned out to be ground dolphin jerky. But this kind of dried pork seems to be different from the dry food I have eaten before, and there should be a lot of special seasonings added to it, which exudes a strange aroma. Perhaps it is these spices that make Cerberus easily obsessed, and he will be willing to be driven by others for these few pieces of jerky.

I tried to stuff a piece of ground pork jerky into the cage of Cerberus, and it immediately chewed "ba-da" and "ba-da", and it tasted delicious. I touched the hair on its neck again, and felt that it was submissive and did not disobey me, so I boldly stepped on its back......

Luckily, everything went well!

Being able to ride on a dog's back means that my dog riding program is half the battle. After all, I've ridden big lizards, big snails, and flat lice, and it shouldn't be hard to ride a Cerberus now. In the following days, with the "coaxing" of jerky, I quickly established a relationship with the Cerberus under my seat. Maybe it's a little rusty to charge into battle on it, but the marching command should be fine.

It takes about half a month to walk from the underworld to the town of spades. With such a large team as the night tour rear army, there will naturally be no danger along the way, coupled with Gan Sheng's deliberate performance, he has been urging to speed up on the road, and it only took twelve days to reach the town of spades.

There are several large caves outside the town of spades, which are planted with peach trees, and the dense peach forest is already full of spades that are about to ripen. Many soldiers involuntarily began to drool when they saw this, and many people were even asking me privately if I could go in and pick a few to quench my thirst?

However, Gan Sheng's military order soon came down, ordering all the officers and men of the army not to enter the forest to pick without permission during the march, and the violators were beaten with twenty military sticks!

I can't help but admire his rigorous management of the army, his ability to control the illegal impulses of his subordinates in a timely manner, and not to disturb or hurt the people, and not to commit any crimes in the autumn.

When he arrived in the town, the mayor of Spades Town personally came out to greet Wang Jun and said to Gan Sheng: "General Gan came all the way to suppress the bandits, which can be described as the savior of our Spades Town!" How about asking your army to rest in the town for the time being, and tomorrow I will send a spy who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way to attack the bandits' lair. ”

"Well, after a long journey, the soldiers are a little tired." Gan Sheng nodded and agreed: "Rest for one night and fight again tomorrow!" ”

"That's for the best." The mayor smiled and flattered, "Hehe, I also prepared a table of wine in the mansion for General Gan to wash the dust!" ”

"Mayor Mare's so polite!" Gan Sheng was even happier, and then waved his hand behind him and said, "All battalions and soldiers have settled down, and then come with me to the town mayor's mansion for a banquet!" ”

"Yes!"

The mayor of Spades prepared a rich banquet, but Gansheng still adhered to his principles and strictly ordered us not to drink. I don't care, but I've spoiled Shen Turen. He protested: "General, this table is full of good dishes, it would be too boring not to drink some wine to cheer up!" ”

"It's boring, you don't have to eat it!"

Unexpectedly, Gan Sheng, who had always been very respectful of Shen Turen, had a dark face at this time, and scolded with his eyes narrowed: "I have to fight tomorrow, how can I drink and have fun before the war?" If you dare to mention the word 'wine' again, I will judge you for disobeying your superiors! ”

When Shen Turen heard this, his face turned red before he had even drunk a drop of wine. But he could only sulk, and he would never dare to openly disobey Gan Sheng's orders at this time.

Seeing this, the mayor hurriedly stepped forward to play a round and said, "It's okay! Anyway! When the generals return victoriously, I will set up another drink, and please drink enough! ”

Gan Sheng also went down the steps and nodded, "Well, that's right." Shen Tu, if you can successfully complete the task of suppressing bandits, I will follow your wishes, why is it difficult to make you drunk? ”

"Hmph, do what you say!" Shen Tu Ren replied angrily.

You can't drink alcohol, and the ensuing dust washing feast is quite dull. Everyone was eating and talking very little. In order to break the embarrassing situation, the mayor had nothing to say, or asked, "How are you eating?" Or talk to Gan Sheng about some inconsequential topics.

There was really nothing to say, so the mayor casually mentioned: "General Gan, the king of Hades sent troops to suppress the bandits this time, which solved the urgent needs of the town, and the people of the town are really grateful." I hope that the general will thank me for his life when he goes back! In the future, if the underworld has a place to find the town of spades, it must do its best! ”

"Hmm." Gan Sheng snorted noncommittally, but his eyes looked at Wang Song.

Wang Song seemed to have an understanding, and then said: "Don't worry, Mayor Gan, General Gan will definitely say a few good words for the town of spades after he goes back." However, in addition to thanking King Yama, does the mayor also want to thank General Gan? ”

"It should be! You're welcome! The mayor hurriedly replied, "General Gan led the army to suppress the bandits, and he is also a benefactor to the town." Besides, we just heard a report from my subordinates that General Gan's team did not mess up at all when passing through the peach forest, and it was really a good way to manage the army! On behalf of the people of the town, I would like to say thank you to General Gan! ”

"Hey, Mayor Mare. It's not okay to talk about it, you need to be a little more sincere! Wang Song said with a smile.

The mayor was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Gan Sheng: "What does General Gan mean ......?"

Gan Sheng still ignored it, and kept eating vegetables, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Wang Song smiled, and interjected again: "General Gan is just acting on orders, but all the soldiers under his command are born and die for the town of spades, and you have to express yourself, right?" ”

If he can't even hear such a hint, then he, the mayor of the town, will be in vain. The mayor was embarrassed for a while, so he had to sigh helplessly, and admitted, "I understand." If General Gan can successfully exterminate this gang of ghost bandits and keep the town of Spades safe, when I celebrate afterwards, I will prepare a generous gift to thank you individually! ”

"Hey! To have credit is also everyone's! Gan Sheng smiled at this time, patted the mayor on the shoulder cordially, and comforted: "Mayor of the town, please rest assured, I, Gan, am here to give you a guarantee, and I will definitely annihilate all this group of ghost bandits, and not one will be left!" Let the people of Spades rest easy! ”

"General Segan......" The mayor smiled bitterly, and had to be humiliated.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help frowning, and my original good impression of Gan Sheng suddenly collapsed in half. I said in my heart: "Although Gan Sheng is strict in governing the army, isn't his and Wang Song's approach equivalent to openly asking for bribes?" Alas, no one is perfect! ”

In any case, if the superiors make some small moves, we, the subordinates, naturally do not dare to dismantle the stage. Anyway, we came out to suppress bandits, and if we can successfully complete the task, the host will be happy and give a little gift. It's better to concentrate on doing your own thing.

After the dust washing feast, Gan Sheng summoned us again and briefly deployed some matters that need to be paid attention to when going out to fight and suppress bandits tomorrow. It was the first time for me to lead a team to fight, so naturally I didn't dare to slack off, and I did exactly what Gan Sheng said.

The next day, after a night tour, the army left the city through another gate in the town of spades, and followed the guide to the nearby valley to conquer the ghost bandits.

The bandits' lair was built in a deep valley and occupied a huge karst cavern as a stronghold. In order to avoid pursuit, ghost bandits in other places generally play the trick of the cunning rabbit three holes, and do not dare to stay in the same place for too long, ready to run away at any time. But this gang of ghost bandits is so arrogant that not only do they not plan to run away, but they also specially built a simple city wall, ready to defend the city in style!

The wall is not very high, only about a zhang high, and it is made of a mixture of stone and earth, which is very rough. But it is rare for a gang of ghost bandits to build such a wall, much stronger than the average rabble. In addition, they also arranged some ghost bandits on the cliffs on both sides of the city wall, and placed a lot of stones, apparently trying to rely on the advantages of the terrain to create falling rocks, in a vain hope of repelling our attack.

Not to mention, the bandit team sent by Spade Town has fallen under this wall several times. The guide who led us the way had participated in the previous anti-bandit operations, and a lot of bitter water was poured along the way, and he even doubted that we could successfully complete this mission?

But how can the bandit team in Spades be compared to our regular army, and Gan Sheng, an experienced old general, is by no means a dry eater!

He led the team to the outside of the city wall, looked at the surrounding terrain and the arrangement of the ghost bandits opposite, and immediately raised his head and laughed: "The carving insect has small skills, and he dares to make an axe, and he is not afraid to make jokes!" ”
