[585] Come back alive

With Xiao Shizhu's pause, the main hall fell into silence.

In the sky outside the lobby, lightning flashed behind the clouds from time to time, and after the dim hall shone brightly, followed by the rolling thunder like the roar of war drums, echoing in the sky.

The other ghosts held their breath, and also focused their eyes on Hu Hui's face, secretly wondering in their hearts what kind of task Xiao Shizhu would give Hu Hui?

This time, Hu Hui rushed all the way to Dongyi Continent, not only bringing new weapons made by the Ordnance Supervisor with the Demon God Military Industry, but also bringing an army of 100,000 trained by him.

Except for Zhu Hai and Gu Shooting Goddess, who had just surrendered, as well as Hei Wuchang, who had not been in the Nine Shadows Country for a long time, and Shi Cassia and Ying Lingxing, who were still young generals and involved in the core secrets of the Nine Shadows Country, the other ghosts all vaguely knew that this army was composed of excellent soldiers from the armies of the Nine Shadows Country after the end of the conquest of the Southern Barbarians. They have been born and died many times with Xiao Shizhu, and they are already ghost soldiers who can fight well, and they are extremely experienced on the battlefield.

This is a strong force with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and it is also the hole card of the Nine Shadows Country, and it is also the whetstone of the armies of the Nine Shadows Country.

Xiao Shizhu let the ghost armies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom not be lazy when there is no war, and can complete the combination of learning and practice in the past. Therefore, since its formation, this army has been serving as the imaginary enemy of the exercises of the armies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

In addition, the garrison of this ghost army gathers all kinds of terrain, from mountain cliffs to deep mountains and old forests, from wilderness deserts to plains and streams. In the past, every ghost soldier of this army was stationed in these terrains. And Hu Hui also regularly pulled them out in batches, boarded ships and entered the sea, and participated in sea patrols and escort missions. As a result, they can adapt to any terrain except the ice field, and can survive in all kinds of harsh environments.

Such a powerful army came to Dongyi Continent to participate in the war, so that Yu Rong and Hu Hui, who knew their existence, were even more curious than other ghosts, where would Xiao Shizhu use them?

"According to the investigation of the fungus people, there are two corpse soul army barracks in the east and west of Ganyuan City, and there are often 200,000 garrisons in each barracks, guarding Ganyuan City, the capital of the Corpse Country. After a while, the bamboo pole in Xiao Shizhu's hand pointed upwards towards the middle of Wenyuan Valley on the sand table, a city located in a lake in the valley.

The place he pointed to with his bamboo pole was the capital of the country of the corpse, Ganyuan City, which was located on Ganyuan Lake in the valley.

Of the two garrison cities in the east and west mentioned in his words, the east one is called the Five Colors Castle, and it is said that the houses in the city are all made of colorful stones in the valley, hence the name. And it is only twelve miles away from Ganyuan City, and there is only a Ganshui River in the middle that is only five zhang widest to connect the two cities.

However, because of the walls of the houses in the city, and even the towers in the city, they are made of multicolored stones, and the multicolored stones are as hard as iron, which makes the city very strong.

The city to the west is a little farther away than Ganyuan City, the capital of the corpse country, a distance of twenty-five miles, and there are hills and forests between the two cities, which is called Poor Sang City.

Compared with the Five-Colored City, the Poor Mulberry City did not have a hard city wall, but it was built on a mountain with cliffs on three sides and a steep slope on one side. It is only because there are many mulberry trees that have long withered and become lifelike fossils in the rocks on the cliffs of the mountain, so it is called such a name.

But the terrain it is located in is very dangerous, but it is impossible to open it for a single man.

These two cities were the fortresses of Ganyuan City, and it would be the right choice if Xiao Shizhu handed over this kind of easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city to Hu Hui and his army to attack.

"You will follow me from the Great Lonely City to the north, and the army will advance all the way thereafter, and then you will be responsible for dividing the troops to march to the east and west at the same time, and take the Five Colors City and the Poor Mulberry City. Sure enough, after Xiao Shizhu paused again, he pointed the bamboo pole in his hand to the opposite side of Dagu City, in the city south of Ganyuan City, and raised his eyes to look around at Ying Lingxing and Hei Wuchang: "You go with me, but our goal is to take Ganyuan City directly." As a result, the three cities would not be able to support each other. ”。

At this time, the city he pointed to with a bamboo pole was located south of Ganyuan Lake, which was the southern barrier of Ganyuan City, and Ganyuan City was close in front of him after taking this city.

On the whole, Xiao Shizhu is going to send troops in multiple ways, cut the garrisons of the Corpse Country and the Black Tooth Country one by one, and then eliminate them one by one and take down the two ghost countries together.

"Yes. Hu responded, frowned, and then asked, "Lord, is this corpse soul army indeed suffering heavy losses?"

Hu Hui is a veteran of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and he has been an ink artist again, so he naturally thinks about problems more carefully and profoundly than he ghosts. He didn't have any opinion on Xiao Shizhu's plan, but he was more worried that the strength of the Corpse Soul Army was still there, so the Nine Shadows Army wouldn't be able to use it easily.

And the self-healing ability of the corpse souls is really a trouble.

"Yes, during my time in the Great Lonely City, I secretly sent fungus people many times to reconnoiter from the ground to various places in Wenyuan Valley, and Yumin and reggae also conducted repeated reconnaissance of Wenyuan Valley in the air. The return is several successive battles, which have caused heavy casualties to the Corpse Soul Army, and the country is already in short supply, and many places are shrinking their defenses. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head heavily, dispelling Hu Hui's last concern: "I hope that this little ghost king is at the end of his rope, and his brothers and sisters have also rebelled one after another, so he is overwhelmed!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu's eyes couldn't help but have a faint look of pride.

What the Southern Barbarian Ghost Emperor Du Ziren, what the Emperor Yuanying of Xudu who secretly ruled Yunmengzhou, and the old ghost in the Dongyi Continent, all of them were defeated under his hands one after another. As for that little ghost's extravagant hopes, although he admired the other party's talent, he was never afraid.

"This is the first step of the plan, the second step is that after our army takes Ganyuan City, Hu Hui immediately sent troops to the north of Fengming Valley, and together with the Gu Shooting Goddess, he attacked the garrison of the Corpse Country in the valley from the north and south. After capturing Fengming Valley, the sergeants under the priestess of Gu Arching Goddess entered Wenyuan Valley from Fengming Valley and quickly seized the area east of the valley. During this period, Du Wula, the defender of Longju Pass, would also send troops to attack various towns east of Wenyuan Valley with the Gu Shooting Goddess. Saying this, Xiao Shizhu put down the smooth and straight emerald green bamboo pole in his hand: "After Zhu Hai obtains the cities in the southwest of the Black Tooth Country, he will also march along the north of Wenyuan Valley in an orderly and gradual manner, and the goal is the pass towns in the north of Wenyuan Valley. And Yu Rong also went east, sweeping the towns west of Ganyuan City. ”。

Once his plan is successfully implemented, then the Nine Shadows Army will march along the Fengming Valley, and it will no longer follow in the footsteps of the Xudu Army and be ambushed by the Corpse Soul Army in the valley.

Once a war breaks out in Wenyuan Valley, the Corpse Soul Army will also take care of one or the other. And as soon as Ganyuan City is broken, the defenders of other ghost cities than the corpse country will also be shaken, and the ghost people will collapse with the hearts of the people, and the scattered sand will be even more invincible to the Nine Shadows Army of the Tiger and Wolf Division.

As for the Black Tooth Country, the ghost soldiers of the ghost country are useless, and under the guns of the Nine Ghost Army, I am afraid that they don't even have the courage to fight to the death.

"Shi Cassia Ming was in charge of defending the city and supplying food, grass and supplies to the front line. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu looked around again and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Nope. After thinking about it carefully, the generals replied in unison.

Since the strength of the Corpse Soul Army has been reduced, there is no need to discuss it anymore. Moreover, strategy is only a general direction, even if there is a lot of discussion now, when it really comes to the ever-changing battlefield, they can only respond to all emergencies with all changes.

"Then let's go and prepare, three days later, we will send troops at the same time to destroy the Corpse Country and the Black Tooth Country. Remember, those who lay down their arms will be spared death, and those who resist will be killed! I hope that you will not have too much mercy for those enemies who will not surrender to the death. Xiao Shizhu, who flashed a fierce and murderous aura in his eyes, waved his hand to signal the ghosts to retreat, turned his head to look at Yu Rong, who had already saluted him and was about to leave, and said, "Yu Rong stays." ”。

"No. In response to Yu Rong's voice, the other ghost generals saluted and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, only Yu Rong and Xiao Shizhu were left in the huge main hall, and they fell into silence again.

After Xiao Shizhu watched the other ghost generals leave with a smile on his face, he walked to the wall with Yu Rong, and after sitting down on the chair standing next to the wall, let Yu Rong also sit on the chair next to him.

"Yu Rong, I deeply regret what happened to your brother Yu Moss. Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, showing regret and a touch of sadness.

The yin wind blew into the hall from outside the door, blowing Xiao Shizhu's robe up. It was already pouring rain outside, and dense curtains of water were falling from the sky, bringing with them a long-lasting rattling sound.

There was a thick yin qi rising between heaven and earth, and there was a thick gloom.

"Brother Yu Moss, he died fighting for the peace of the underworld and the stability of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he can take King Taishan with him, it can be regarded as a glorious death, there is nothing to regret. Yu Rong lowered his head slightly, looking at his toes, his eyes couldn't help but be a little sad.

No matter how proud he was, after all, his younger brother Yu Moss had already died in battle, and he would inevitably feel sad when he mentioned it.

Xiao Shizhu is not like this, he still admires the child Yu Moss very much. Not only is he decisive and clever, but Yu Moss's sacrifice is also a heavy grief for Xiao Shizhu, and it is also a loss for the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"I have ordered the award of a medal to Yu Moss, and I have also erected a monument for him on the martyr's platform in Yuque City for future generations to pay homage to. Xiao Shizhu, who was silent for a moment, looked at Yu Rong again, paused and then solemnly admonished: "But that's the case, I hope you must be cautious in this battle, but you must not take any more risks." ”。

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu stood up, walked slowly to the door of the lobby and stood at the entrance, looking at the dense dripping water from the eaves outside the door. The crystal clear water droplets were like pearls scattered one after another, and after they landed, they suddenly shattered into pieces of silver flowers, raising a layer of mist like smoke and clouds.

The reason why he mobilized more than 100 flying thunder cars for Yu Rong was actually a kind of protection for Yu Rong.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Shizhu slowly muttered: "After so many years of fighting, the country is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more ghost soldiers who can fight well, but too many friends are either tired to death at home, or die on the battlefield. The number of old friends I've made since I came to the underworld is dwindling, and I don't want you to be the next to die. ”。

"It is important to achieve a stable, peaceful and equal underworld, but I want you old friends to live to see this day coming. His voice was soft, slow, as if he were talking to himself.

But Yu Rong heard these words clearly, but it made him stunned when he heard the words, and he felt warm in the cool rain.

"Hmm. After a moment, Yu Rong nodded and said, "I will definitely come back alive." ”。
