A burst of cannons, the immortal army launched an attack on the city like a tide, rushing to the front is a huge shield plugged in the chariot, that is a kind of siege tower wrapped in armor, can be rammed force to destroy the city wall or city gate, this kind of chariot is very spectacular, it has eight wheels, five stories high siege tower. The bottom layer is pushed by soldiers, and the other four layers are filled with siege soldiers. The rushing car shot directly into the city from a long distance, and a large number of dense arrows flew directly into the city, directly attacking the defenders on the city wall.

Behind the chariot were the ladder men, who followed behind the chariot and slowly moved forward under the strong protection of the chariot. Behind the ladder is a soldier with a short sword, and once the chariot and the ladder hand move under the battlements, the folding ladder can be stretched like an umbrella handle, and the ladder with an iron hook can grasp the head of the city.

As the camp approached the edge of the city, huge catapults fired oil-coated stones using the lever principle, ignited and flew into the city in a dense manner.

Needless to say, this was a siege fought by troops from the Middle Ages, and no movie could have recreated a more realistic scene than this. Baozi once commanded the defensive battle of the gymnasium, but compared to such offensive and defensive scenes, it was still much rougher and inferior.

The soldier who led the way hurriedly said, "Wrap up God, this place is too close to the front line, I'm afraid that there will be stray bullets and arrows that will hurt you, please go to the big tent to talk."

Baozi reluctantly glanced at the magnificent scene of the siege battle, and followed the soldiers into the Chinese army's tent.

Before he had time to look at the furnishings in the big tent, a figure flashed in front of Baozi with a whoosh, flexibly holding him in his arms, and the stubble of the beard just brushed made Baozi's cheeks hurt, and he let go only to find that it was really his own separation-the third prince of the Dragon King.

The third prince is white and thin, and his bearded face is not as immature as he once was, and he is no longer a young man. The two were quite affectionate, walking into the big tent hand in hand, Kong Dechang and others stood at the door of the big tent tremblingly, and dared to sit down only after being guided by the soldiers. And Li Si was tied up and thrown out of the account.

After a brief chat, I learned that after the third prince followed Houji into the ghost gate, he galloped all the way and did not encounter effective resistance. The third prince was quite proud as a striker, rushing all the way forward, bypassing the stronghold and reaching the Black Cliff. According to the clues currently available, the Black Cliff is the last stronghold of the ghost army, and behind the Black Cliff is the infinite dark abyss. Hou Ji believed that the enemy avoided encountering our army because he did not want to fight a decisive battle. The immortal army is all yang body, and needs food and sunlight, once it drags on for a long time in this extreme yin environment, the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. And the ghosts are not afraid, they have lived here for a long time, and they can survive for a long time with some low-energy salan grass, presumably the ghost army will have to rely on protracted warfare to consume themselves. Therefore, he was determined to find the main force of the ghost army to fight a decisive battle.

Hou Ji decided to change positions with the third prince, he stayed to besiege Black Cliff, and the third prince returned to the division to pull out the stronghold, the main tactic was in line with Baozi's expectations, that is, to besiege the city and send reinforcements. While besieging the stronghold, use ambush troops to kill the reinforcements who come to the rescue. Hou Ji told that the ghosts here are rampant, all the people are soldiers, and all ghosts may be fighting forces, so it is necessary to slaughter villages and ghosts when encountering ghosts, do not screen, do not capture prisoners, and slaughter all of them to avoid the resurgence of the stronghold. so as not to cause chaos in the rear.

"They're already dead," said the third prince, "but let them die a little more thoroughly." ”

The third prince slaughtered all the way and pulled out twelve small strongholds, but he didn't get much, and the reinforcements were seven, seven, eight, two, three, two, all of them were people with no combat effectiveness.

The third prince said excitedly, but he didn't notice the iron blue look on Baozi's face, nor did he have any idea about the emotions of Kong Dechang and the others who were guests, and he didn't notice Li Si, who was tied up and thrown at the door of the big tent with angry eyes. Li Si shouted, "If you can't rescue, you will die, I'm not like you!" ”

Only then did the third prince look at a group of wandering ghosts with embarrassed expressions on the guest seat, as well as Li Si who fell in front of the tent.

"Come on, chop up that bundle!" The third prince felt that it was much easier to kill a yin ghost than to kill a chicken.

"Brother" Baozi hurriedly stopped the guards, and he told the third prince about his experience, saying, "Before I came down, I was also full of pride in returning to my teacher to kill Loulan, but after I came, I found that this place is far from what we imagined." "The internal management structure of the ghost gate is complex, and the ghosts may not be as unified as they appear, and they also have a lot of helplessness and sadness, if you can win them, it is more meaningful than killing them.

"Brother, if you can't get the support of the Yin Ghosts, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive here for long!"

"Baozi, you are overflowing with benevolence again. As long as I pull out this stronghold, I will open the way from the ghost gate to the black cliff, and we will come and go freely. ”

"Blow" Baozi saw that the third prince was arrogant again, and he couldn't help but scold, "You guys beat down that mine?" ”

"Mines?" The third prince seems to have forgotten this stubble, "What mine?" ”

A staff officer hurriedly accosted him, and the third prince remembered, "Oh, when our soldiers entered thirty miles, they found an iron mine, and the guards and laborers in it ran out, and the army broke through directly, and there was no garrison in it." ”

"There's work going on again." Baozi briefly described the situation in the mine: "You see, the workers here would rather be beaten and scolded or even slaughtered by the Japanese people, or even voluntarily come back to resume work, rather than go with you, why?" ”

"Why?" The third prince pushed the question back again, "You say"

"Because you are more terrible"

"You mean, it's not all the ghosts of Japanese and traitors, and it's not all crazy villains, they can still fight for it."

"Learn the lessons of the Vietnam War" Baozi nodded, "The cruel system creates cruel people, and if they survive under this system, they must do things according to the requirements of this system, and we will destroy the ghost caves of the Japanese, not everything here." If you are more cruel, they will decide that the ghost gate is hell, and the ghost gate is the real paradise. All the evil things they have done in the world in the future will no longer have a heart of repentance. ”

Kong Dechang, who has always been a good man, suddenly stood up and bowed his head to the third prince and begged, "Can you listen to me?" ”

"You say," the third prince looked at the little ghost lying at his feet with some disgust, like looking at a mouse.

"Since the establishment of the Ghost Gate, the defenders of this rift valley have all been the heroes of the wars of the past dynasties, most of them are soldiers who died in battle to protect China from the invasion of foreign civilizations, and their task is to guard the Ghost Gate, assist the Three Realms to resist the invasion of the continents, and balance the relationship between the major continents. It wasn't until the arrival of the Japanese people in large numbers that they attracted countless Kwantung Army and puppet army who died in battle, forced the former generals to disarm and return to the fields, and used the tricks of land repossession, redemption, and usury to bankrupt them and become slave laborers, and it only took a few decades to change the atmosphere of the ghost gate. They set targets and assigned tasks to force the slaves to go out to detain and replenish their souls, and if they failed to complete their tasks, they were tortured or even killed. The newly arrived ghost is full of resentment and is bent on revenge; And the evil spirits are afraid of revenge, and the only way to avoid them is to hug the thighs of the Japanese. As a result, they found that as long as they did a bad thing once, there was really only one way - promotion. As long as they capture more ghosts and sell valuable information, they can be promoted, and even become management leaders to avoid reprisals, so that the people here become unscrupulous and worse, and the spirit of loyalty and resistance to the Japanese kingdom is extinguished. ”

"What do you mean...."

"I mean, it's not easy for everyone."

The third prince was silent, since the war, he had never thought deeply about this issue.

While they were talking, they suddenly heard the explosion outside the camp and lined up the city, everyone rushed out of the big tent to see, a dense number of shells flew in the city, blooming in the array of attacking troops, and the shock wave of the bomb explosion was like the water surface stirred up by stones, and suddenly set off a wave, and the immortal soldiers fell one by one, and the offensive was resolved in a blink of an eye. Listening to the sound, all of these shells are fired similar to smoothbore guns, what kind of army is the other side? The military formations of the Middle Ages were met with semi-modern counterattacks, and even though they were immortals, they could not withstand such an impact. A cannonball exploded, and a field of animal carcasses.

"The opponent is the modern army," Peng Yue said.
