I asked Wang Qi to take my waist card and pretend to be a disciple of the Ghost Dining Gate to cross the Nai He Bridge to get the yellow spring water in the Yin Si Stream, but I didn't want to be caught by Cai Yi of the Ghost Dining Gate and asked me about the origin of the waist card. I used Cai Yi's wood to prevaricate.

After Cai Yi left, I hurriedly asked Wang Qi how he had crossed the bridge to get water.

Wang Qi cried and said with a sad face: "I crossed the bridge with my waist card, and the brothers of the rear army naturally wouldn't stop me, but as soon as I crossed the bridge, I was grabbed by Meng Po." She's so scary-looking! ”

I patted him on the head and scolded: "You are afraid of even an ugly old woman when you are a yin soldier, can you still have some talent?" ”

Wang Qi shrank his head, and then said, "What did she ask me for?" I replied as you commanded me that the disciples of the Onishan Gate had crossed the bridge to fetch water. She still didn't believe it, so she asked a few bad people to escort me back to the Wangxiang platform, found the guy in the drunken building, and asked me if I was a disciple of the Ghost Dining Sect? ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart was cold, and now I was caught by someone!

But Wang Qi said again: "The shopkeeper of Zuishenglou is not there, so he came out of the old brother just now." He looked at the waist card, and inexplicably told those yin cha that I was indeed a disciple of the Ghost Dining Sect! ”

"That's really what he said?" I was amazed.

"Yes, that's what he said!" Wang Qi replied affirmatively, "Then Yin Cha believed him and handed me over to him to deal with." Then this old man asked me privately where did the waist card come from? I refused to divulge it at first, but he comforted him that he would not reveal our details, and only wanted to see the old people. I thought he knew you, so I dared to bring him to you. ”

After listening to this, I couldn't help frowning, puzzled: What does this Cai Yi mean?

He helped Wang Qi cover up, which is definitely a good thing for me, but what is the purpose of his doing this? I'm sure I didn't know him before, and he just kept asking me about my relationship with my master, could it be that he just wanted to find out my master's whereabouts?

It was indeed very unpleasant when the master left the ghost dining gate back then, but it was not to the point where he would never die. After all, what Kuai Qian and Liao Keng wanted at that time was only the position of the head of the imperial dining room of the underworld, as well as absolute control over the affairs of the ghost dining door. Now that the master has taken the initiative to leave and retreat to the mountains and forests, there is really no need for them to go and kill them all again.

Could it be because they finally found out that Master had taken away the usual treasure knife and now want to take it back?

In any case, as long as Kuai Qian and Liao Keng continue to control the ghost food gate, my master can only hide in the yang world, and dare not return to the underworld. And as long as Cai Yi reports to the above after Cai Yi goes back, my identity as Feng Daozhang's apprentice will be exposed, and the ghost restaurant will definitely not give up, and it is very likely that he will come to the door again to entangle.

So, in order to avoid this, I have prepared a set of arguments in advance. Well, let's just say that the waist card was picked up in the dead Ze when I joined the expedition, anyway, even if they asked Bird Meat and Lu Dian, these two dead friends would have fulfilled this lie for me. In short, I must not tear Master into the water because of this incident!

But I waited anxiously for a few days, but no one from the ghost restaurant came to trouble me.

Seven days later, I led the soldiers of the 8th Battalion of the Night Tour Army to the Naihe Bridge again. Just after the hour, Cai Yi appeared on time with two empty barrels.

He passed me and wanted to cross the bridge to fetch water. Naturally, I didn't know him, and he didn't even look at me squarely, as if he had forgotten about me as a person after only a few days. I was puzzled, but I didn't dare to stop him to ask what was going on.

Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much, maybe this Cai Yi is a weirdo, or a fool. Next time I take a vacation, I can go back to Master and ask about this Cai Yi's situation, and I can know his details.

"Alas!" I looked at the opposite side of the Nai He Bridge, listening to the huge sound of the waterfall falling and splashing in the Yin Si Stream, and my heart was itching, "Nai He Bridge, Nai He Bridge!" Now I can only look at each other across the bridge but can't cross it, look at the water but can't get it, sigh in vain! ”

After the one-month reincarnation division was on duty, Gan Sheng once again led the whole army to the outside of the underworld to conduct martial arts. Because of the lack of actual combat experience, it is normal for recruits to organize military exercises from time to time. But this time the martial arts exercise is slightly different from the previous ones.

The venue for this exercise was chosen on an open field, and it was clearly intended to practice field battles. In addition, a lottery was used to determine the groups at random.

Gan Sheng said to us at the preparation meeting for the exercise: "What I want to simulate today is the situation when there is an encounter. Not every battle is evenly matched, and not every battle is up to you to choose your troops, so today's test is your on-the-spot adaptability! ”

"In order to increase the motivation of the soldiers, and in order for you lieutenants to find ways to win, I think it is necessary to put some bets." Gan Sheng finally laughed again.

"What bet?" Shen Turen was most concerned about this, thinking that there was no such thing as a lottery.

"The winner will have an extra meal tonight, and the loser will deduct today's day's military salary!"

Unexpectedly, Gan Sheng came up with such a loss trick, anyway, no matter who wins or loses, it won't cost him money.

Of course, a day's salary is not much, especially for an officer at the rank of lieutenant. The eight Yin schools who participated in the martial arts performance were all gearing up and full of interest, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to perform well. But after the draw was over, half of them began to lament.

What I drew was a white stone, and the three sword and shield battalions were actually drawn together, plus the Green Arrow battalion led by Gao Jia, and the white team was formed.

The black team on the other side is more reasonable and aggressive. Shen Turen's canine cavalry has the greatest advantage in field battles, and which team he is on will have a good chance of winning. In addition, the black team had two pike battalions and a green arrow battalion, such a grouping could fight both close and long, as well as the speed and impact of the cavalry.

According to such a matchup, is there still suspense about winning or losing?

But now that the manager has set the rules like this, we can only enforce them. Gao Jia called the captains of the three sword and shield battalions together to discuss tactics.

He said: "With a combination of troops like our white team, we can only take a defensive position. Moreover, you must maintain a good formation when fighting, and rely on the role of the shield to resist the attacks of the black team. The key to this is whether it can withstand the impact of the dog riding camp! ”

Cheng Youliang also nodded in agreement: "This is also something that can't be helped, if it is a hard-hitting charge, our infantry will not be able to handle the canine cavalry." And the other side also has a Green Arrow battalion, and it is not advantageous to shoot at each other. ”

I'm the most junior yin school among them, and I can't intervene in the tactics, but I can't lose my spirit. I said, "Don't be too discouraged, the three sword and shield battalions are on our side, and there is not even a shield on the other side. If we can defend against the first round of the black team's attack, I think we still have a chance to win after entering the dogfight! ”

Gao Jia approvingly: "Captain Zhai is right, this may be our only chance to win!" ”

After a brief discussion, the four captains of the White team unanimously decided to adopt a circular battle array, with the three sword and shield battalions forming a circular shield formation on the periphery, protecting the Green Arrow battalion in the middle of the circle, and the archers using the shield array to shoot arrows at the enemy. Wait until the two sides are close to each other before taking the initiative.

The white team's circular battle array is finished, and it looks like it's really unstoppable, and it's up to the black team to respond.

But it turns out that the black team doesn't seem to have thought of a way to deal with it at all. They directly resorted to an unreasonable attack: two pike-battalions began to charge from a distance!

But just because they did not form formations, but rushed from all directions in a scattered manner, the Green Arrow battalion commanded by Gao Jia had a very low hit rate. In addition, the black team also has a Green Arrow battalion on their side, and the use of projectiles also poses a great threat to the archers in our shield array.

The most troublesome thing was that it was too far away and there wasn't enough light for us to see where the dog riding camp was. Shen Turen doesn't know where to hide his hundred canine cavalry?

Just when the white team was a little flustered, Gao Jia shouted in the middle of the formation: "The archers are all crouching down and shoot flat from under the shield!" ”

A hundred archers were ordered to rush forward into the shield array, and they shot arrows through the gaps between the shields. As a result, our archers will be able to shoot directly at the charging pikemen, and their accuracy will be much higher. The archers at the rear of the black team could only blindly shoot at the top of our heads, and the threat could not be increased.

After a round of charges, the two unprotected pikes battalions of the black team were "shot" by the white team with a third of their troops. And the "casualties" of the white team are almost negligible.

But the Black Team couldn't really be so stupid, and their true tactical purpose was finally revealed at this point!

When the pikemen led by Jia Ji rushed to the front of the formation twenty or thirty paces, they suddenly dispersed, revealing the canine cavalry camp that had been blocking behind. It turned out that Shen Turen ordered all the dog cavalry to get out of the saddle, lead the Cerberus to run behind the spear battalion, and wait until they were close before re-riding the dog's back and charging.

"Roar! Roar! ”

Cerberus has a halter on its mouth, and it can't open its mouth wide to bark, so it can only grow. But that didn't stop them from charging fiercely. The first wave of dog cavalry under the leadership of Shen Turen rushed straight into the shield array, and the sword and shield soldiers of Cheng Youliang of the ninth battalion were suddenly knocked to the ground, and one corner of the shield array immediately collapsed.

There were also some Cerberus who simply jumped above the shield and ran on top of the shield. The sword and shield soldiers below couldn't support the weight of one man and one dog at all, and they were crushed to the ground one after another. The canine cavalry took this opportunity to rush into the position of the Green Arrow Battalion in the center of the shield array. It was a disaster to engage the canine cavalry with archers, and the positions of the white team collapsed instantly!
