【449】Siege on a rainy night

Since Xiao Shizhu handed over this matter to Xiao Fuling, then she has to do her best.

Although she is not a ghost at a young age, she often accompanies Xiao Shizhu and her ghost mother, and she also knows that her father is by no means a short-sighted ghost, let alone a prince in a corner of peace.

Although the current Nine Shadows Kingdom does not have the national strength to conquer Fenglin Continent, it cannot give up Fenglin Continent because of this. Since the Beiyin Dynasty has already recruited in Fenglin Continent, then Xuanjiao should have planted an eyeliner in Fenglin Continent and kept an eye on every move of the Beiyin Dynasty, so that when the two sides go to war in the future, they can know that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"Lord Hu, the next work of the Xuanjiao disciples in Fenglin Continent is fully responsible for you, and you can't let their whereabouts leak out. Xiao Fuling looked at Hu Hui and said slowly: "What they have to do is to find out the situation of the Northern Yin Dynasty's recruitment in Fenglin Continent, as well as the results after recruiting An, etc., and report it to my father." ”。

"No. Hu Hui thought about it quickly, and didn't find anything wrong with Xiao Fuling's handling of it, so he nodded in response.

"One more thing. Then, Lu Wu looked at her and smiled slightly, and said, "I just received a report from the Zhenxing Water Division, and after the round of General Ga Ge who attacked the Huaishan granary arranged by the lord, they attacked Huaishan and Guishan Island, as well as Huaishui Port. and completely annihilated the fleet of the Beiyin Dynasty. ”。

Lu Wu took out a notebook from his sleeve, stepped forward and handed it to Xiao Ling, and then said: "This is the record of the fungus people's message, including the entire battle process, please take a look." ”。

When he finished speaking, he retreated back and stood side by side with Hu Hui again.

After Xiao Fuling unfolded and glanced at it hastily, the little joy on her face suddenly turned into consternation, and then she raised her head to look directly at Lu Wu and asked, "Why is there such a big loss?"

The notebook in his hand reads: "Although the enemy fleet was completely annihilated, our fleet also had fifteen large-wing warships and twenty-two sea falcons, which were sunk in the battle. And six thousand sailors were killed in the battle. ”。

"Judging from the rumors of the fungus people, the Northern Yin Dynasty also began to equip the naval division warships with a large number of artillery. Lu Wu, who also read the book, said slowly to Xiao Fuling: "At the same time, I learned the tactics of our army's sea and air cooperation, and also equipped each warship with air cavalry. In this way, the victory in this battle is naturally very difficult. ”。

Xiao Fuling, whose face was a little calmer, closed the recital with a slight jaw and handed it to Lu Wu: "Send it to my father." ”。

"No. Lu Wu replied and stepped forward again and took the notebook......

Dongyizhou Mao Republic of China.

In the western part of this vassal state, located directly south of Dongyizhou, there are dense forests that stretch for thousands of miles. Everywhere you can see towering thousand-year-old trees, as well as a variety of ancient trees and strange trees standing on the ground.

And in the depths of this dense forest, there is a city with a radius of more than ten miles, which is located between the ancient trees that cover the sky.

Surrounded by thousands of trees, a tall wall can be seen rising from the ground and enclosing the city.

Behind the high walls, the city was full of rectangular or square slate houses with doors and windows. They are all made of stone walls and logs as beams and columns, and then covered with stones, which is very strong.

This is the famous wood and stone city in the Mao Republic of China. It used to be the largest city in the western part of the Mao Republic of China, and at this moment it is the place where King Mao Min rests.

For more than a month, King Mao has been unable to sleep and eat. Ever since Lin Cong occupied his southern mountain bay, a large number of soldiers and family members of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had rushed from all over the Nine Shadows Kingdom and poured into his country.

Then Lin Cong took a step-by-step strategy of encroachment, moving forward little by little. He was never greedy, and he only attacked a city or a town. And every time he captures a city or a town, Lin Cong will continue to attack after stabilizing the local situation.

This made the Mao Republic of China, which is not a big country and does not have many elite soldiers, suffer a lot. Whenever a large army was sent to regain the lost territory, not only could it not recover the lost territory, but it was also heavily killed and wounded by the local Jiuyou National Army.

And Xiao Shizhu announced to the outside world that the Republic of Mao was neutral on the surface, but in fact secretly accepted the benefits of the Northern Yin Dynasty and oppressed ordinary souls in the country, which immediately attracted the spurning of King Mao from other countries.

Even some of the vassal states of human souls, although they also have a ghost slave market in their country, and they do not express their position on the war between the two countries on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly hoping that the Nine Shadows Kingdom will quickly destroy the Mao Republic of China.

In addition, among the ghost people of the Mao Republic of China, most of them are ordinary souls. And the hairy ghost accounts for only one-third of the population in the Mao Republic of China. Whenever Lin Cong went to a place, the first thing he did was to release the souls of those who were used as slaves by the hairy ghosts, so it made the Nine Shadows Army very ghostly.

And among the long-haired ghosts, there are also ghosts who have found conscience, and under the slogan of "human souls do not enslave human souls" played by Lin Cong according to Xiao Shizhu's requirements, he felt that he used to bully ordinary people's souls It was too lacking in morality; King Maomin's reconquest of lost territory is even more difficult.

Five days ago, King Mao Min received a report late at night that Lin Cong's vanguard army was only thirty miles away from his capital.

King Maomin, who had been thinking hard for a night and had not thought of a countermeasure, actually abandoned the 30 million ghost people in the capital in the early hours of the morning and fled west with 50,000 personal soldiers.

Fortunately, although Lin Cong is also ruthless, he never kills or slaughters the people of the enemy country. One day after King Mao escaped, after he led his army into the capital of the Republic of Mao, he took the lead in promulgating a military order not to disturb the people and kill and surrender, and after quickly stabilizing the situation, the 30 million ghost people in the city not only avoided death, but also lived a stable life again.

At this point, most of the long-haired ghosts had seen the facts clearly, and had also rediscovered how selfish their king was, so they put down their butcher knives and swore allegiance to the Nine Shadows.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom has a foothold in Dongyi Continent. It laid a solid foundation for the Nine Shadows Army to sweep through the enemy forces in the continent later.

And after the losing King Mao Min fled to the wooden and stone city in the west, he was not idle. He sent a letter of request for help to the king of Xiazhou in the neighboring country of Xiazhou, but there was no news like a stone sinking into the sea.

That night, King Mao Min couldn't sleep, so he had to go out of his bedroom and stand on the roof alone, and after sitting down, he looked up at the dark clouds on the sky and was stunned.

In the cold night wind, the lightning flickered in the depths of the dark clouds, turning the dark and oppressive sky into a flickering light.

There is no royal palace in Mushi City, and King Mao Min has a noble status, but he can only live in a stone house like the common people. It's just the place where he lives, the best stone house in the city.

The resentful Mao Min Wang looked at the sky for a long time and lowered his head, reached out and touched his chest. Under the clothes, there is an ultimatum sent by Lin Cong this morning.

Lin Cong mentioned in the letter that he hoped that King Mao Min would not resist stubbornly and surrender as soon as possible to avoid death.

This made King Mao Min unhappy and very unwilling; he was the prince of the underworld personally sealed by Emperor Xudu, one of the real ancient gods of Hades, which gave King Mao Min a strong sense of superiority. And the King of the Nine Shadows who asked him to surrender was just a dog prison and a ghost slave.

Asking him to surrender to a ghost born as a dog prison is a great shame for King Mao Min.

Therefore, even if he received the ultimatum, King Mao Min did not have the slightest fear, but made up his mind to fight to the death with the army of the Nine Hidden States.

Just when King Mao Min was still blowing the wind on the roof, an army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had quietly marched to the woods east of Mushi City, standing in the forest through the gaps between the trees, looking at the lights lit on the tall city wall not far ahead.

This is only the vanguard of the Jiuyou National Army in Dongyi Continent, the number of ghost soldiers is only 50,000, but most of them are human souls; these souls come from the prisoners on Daoshan Island, and they have been suppressed and tortured by the Emperor Xudu and the ghost officials of the Beiyin Dynasty for a long time, making them have an unusual hatred for the Beiyin Dynasty and the ghost countries loyal to the Beiyin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the Mao Republic is a ghost country loyal to the Beiyin Dynasty, and all the Mao ghosts who do not lay down their arms will become the object of their hatred and anger.

They entered the forest in the dark, and all the soldiers did not speak to each other along the way, and the defenders of the city were unaware of their presence until they stopped at the edge of the forest outside the Wood and Stone City.

Zhu Hai, who was the leader, stretched out his right hand to his waist, and after holding the long handle of the hammer pinned to his waist, a little excitement appeared in his eyes as he looked ahead.

The soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom behind him had already set up their artillery among the woods and started the best calibration.

"Artillery commander. After observing for a while, Zhu Hai beckoned behind him, and immediately a tall, broad-chested, and long-bearded human soul walked quickly to him, and asked quietly: "What is the command of the vanguard general?"

"Blow up the gate building first. Zhu Hai pointed to the forest in front of him, facing his three-story gate building on the wall of plain soil and blue bricks.

As soon as the words landed, the artillery commander nodded yes, and suddenly a muffled thunder sounded in the air, followed by a trickling raindrop falling from the air with the wind, and soon spread out between heaven and earth.

Zhu Hai's heart tightened, he was a ghost who had only joined the Nine Shadows Country for a long time, and he didn't know that the firearms in the Nine Shadows Country were also rainproof, waterproof, and moisture-proof, so he couldn't help but worry that the rain that didn't come early or late would affect the power of the artillery?

"Don't worry, Vanguard General. Seeing that he frowned, and after showing a little anxiety between his eyebrows, the artillery commander who followed him smiled lightly disapprovingly, and then whispered: "Our country's firearms are all waterproof, and it won't be impossible to fire guns because of rain." ”。

After saying that, he turned around and left, and explained that the artillerymen behind him would hit the city gate building first.

After hearing this, Zhu Hai's frowning brows slowly unfolded, and the worry and anxiety on his face slowly subsided, and then he stared ahead with full vigilance.

The raindrops that are sprinkled in the sky become more and more dense as time goes by. After a while, the artillerymen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom all calibrated their artillery and aimed at the high wall outside the forest. And the long-haired ghosts patrolling in the rain on the wall still haven't found an enemy army hidden in the forest outside the city.

"General, six Heavenly Thunder Cannons and ten Poison Fire God Cannons are aimed at the city gate building, and the others are aimed at the city walls on both sides of the city gate building. After a while, the artillery commander turned around again and returned to Zhu Hai's side, and whispered to him: "As long as you give an order, the artillery can be sure that in three rounds of artillery fire, the enemy's city wall will be blown out of five or six gaps." ”。

"Let's get started. The raindrops that dripped from between the branches kept dripping on Zhu Hai's solemn face, slowly sliding down his face.

The artillery commander was ordered to leave, and after a while, in the midst of the storm, dozens of fires suddenly shot out from among the dense trees, with a loud sound that shook the earth and the earth, and slammed into the wall of the west city of the wood and stone city.

Dao Dao explosions were like flowers, blooming one after another on the city wall, and the earth and stones were tumbling and the dust rose down, rushing into a dazzling fire.
