The Eastern Crusade of the Northern Yin Dynasty was not only to quell the rebellion against the rebellious ghost kingdoms in Dongyi Continent, so as to firmly control the ghost continent, one of the granaries of the underworld, in the hands of the imperial court, but also to destroy Xiao Shizhu in Dongyi Continent.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to guard thousands of ancient gods and dying primordial gods, Emperor Xudu would have been eager to conquer Dongyizhou in person and tear Xiao Shizhu into pieces with his own hands.

In order to ensure that it seems to be a cat, Xiao Shizhu, who always has nine lives, died in battle in Dongyi Continent, and died so much that he couldn't die anymore, Emperor Xudu made strict arrangements for every detail. Including the logistics of grain and grass, the route of transportation changes immediately, etc., he has a careful and careful arrangement.

In terms of grain and grass clothing, in addition to the Fusang Kingdom and the Bishu Kingdom that accepted Zhao'an, they had to provide for the Xudu Army, and Liutianzhou also sent a batch of grain ships on the 5th. The walking route is not fixed, and it is changed every time, in order not to be robbed by the sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Eastern Crusade army to run out of food. But why did the music sent on cloudy days and repeated days also emphasize the serious shortage of grain and grass, and ask for more grain and grass to go.

Emperor Xudu pondered, and the hall fell into a deathly silence, and the sound of his soft breathing from his nostrils was so clear.

After frowning for a moment, Emperor Xudu thought about whether it would be because many grain ships had been robbed, resulting in a shortage of grain and grass. This is not impossible, after all, it is not a matter of a day or two for the naval division warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to appear in the area west of the Huangquan Sea and in the southwest coast of Dongyi Continent.

Perhaps the grain and grass sent to Dongyizhou recently have been destroyed by the enemy. Therefore, the grain and grass of the Eastern Expeditionary Army could only enter and exit, so they had to urgently ask for food.

Just as he was pondering, Tubo, who had been away for a long time, strode into the hall again, knelt down in front of him, and offered a small bamboo tube as thick as a finger in both hands.

On the copper lamps left and right beside Emperor Xudu, there was a crackling sound in the wick. After the flames jumped, the sparks burst out from the lamp, and the long eyebrows on the right side of the Emperor Xudu twitched with the muscles at the corners of his eyes.

This kind of sealed bamboo tube is the way for the spies he planted in the Eastern Crusade army to transmit messages. This bamboo tube appeared in front of him, indicating that something had happened to the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Emperor Xudu, whose heart was beating heavily, reached over and took the bamboo tube with his pretending to be calm, and waved his hand again to signal Tubo to retreat.

It was only after Tubo had left that he uncovered the white wax that had sealed the opening, and shook out a rolled-up roll of paper from it.

With a little apprehension, the Emperor Xudu slowly unfolded the note, and then the soft light emitted by the centipede beads on the golden pillar of the main hall, as well as the firelight on the lampstands on the left and right, looked at the paper strip carefully, densely packed with fly-headed small letters.

It's okay not to look at it, but after seeing it, Emperor Xudu immediately straightened his face. Tie Qing's face had an angry look on his facial features, and his round eyes were full of cold murderous intent.

A fierce yin wind suddenly appeared around him, and cracks in the ground around him sprouted with thin sheets of ice.

The content of the secret report on this note was that the harvest allowed the grain transport team to set off in advance, resulting in hundreds of thousands of stones, a total of several million catties of grain and grass being burned by the fierce explosions and flames of the Jiuyou Kingdom army, and a huge bonfire was lit on the vast plain. There are still nearly 100,000 stones of grain and grass left, which were snatched away by the Jiuyou National Army, and they also took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos, and also took more than 40,000 Xudu troops and 20,000 grain trucks, as well as the beasts and ghosts who pulled the carts.

For a time, the Xudu Army in Dongyi Continent and the so-called combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty fell into an embarrassing situation of running out of food. And now, even if there is grain and grass, there is no way to collect so many grain carts and beast souls pulling carts at once, and transport grain and grass to the front line of Manjiang City.

Moreover, the note avoided the heavy and light, and did not mention that after taking away most of the stored grain on a cloudy day, all the grain and grass were accumulated to nearly 300,000 stones, and then they were sent out together. It's just a close-up of how the harvest suddenly gave the order to let the grain transport team set off in advance. Of course, there is also how Bei Harvest ignored the opposition of the King of Yama and made sure to leave Fengming Valley at night and go to the front line of Manjiang City.

This made Emperor Xudu look at it, and preconceived that every move of the harvest was very abnormal, and all this was the reason why the grain and grass were robbed and destroyed.

As the saying goes, there is a debtor and a debtor, and the black pot must always have a ghost's back.

After reading this information, Emperor Xudu suddenly understood why he began to urge grain on a cloudy and cloudy day, and at the same time, he had already made up his mind not to trust the harvest, but also to accept the responsibility for this mistake.

The angry Emperor Xudu, his hands and ten fingers were trembling, and after gritting his teeth for a moment, he suddenly crumpled the note in his hand and threw it to the ground angrily.

Just when the paper ball bounced off on the ground, he had already gotten up and roared angrily at the door of the main hall: "Tubo." ”。 The roar of thunder echoed in the main hall, and when it did not disperse around the beams, the beams and pillars and the floor of the hall trembled slightly.

Tubo, who didn't know the reason, didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly entered from outside the hall, and walked quickly to the three feet away in front of the Emperor Xudu and stood still. Before he even had time to straighten his robe, he bent his knees and knelt down. But when the fierce murderous aura emanating from Emperor Xudu's body shrouded him, he was so frightened that Tubo, a demon who used to eat human souls without blinking an eye and could eat more than 20 in one breath, didn't dare to breathe.

His face was extremely ugly, and the angry Emperor Xudu said in a deep voice: "You immediately go to Dongyi Continent and cut off the harvested ghost head and send it!" The anger is clearly evident in every word......

The sun rises in the west, and the dawn spreads out like water waves. Illuminating the land around Manjiang City, it also illuminates the thick sea of clouds on the sky. Suddenly, the edge of the sky was draped in crimson, like blood.

Xiao Shizhu, who was dressed in a robe, wiped out the Moon Sword at his waist and hips, and strode out of the palace of the King of Xiazhou.

When he walked to the palace gate, the light of the cloudy sun shone right on his face. The ghost generals standing on the left and right sides in front of the palace gate can clearly see the calmness and calmness on his face.

It is this calm and composure that gives them peace of mind and firmness, and they will definitely be able to win more with less in the big war that is about to begin.

Xiao Shizhu stood still between the two gates in front of the palace gate, looked left and right, and after his eyes swept over the faces of each ghost general, he held his head high and looked directly at the north gate of Manjiang City immersed in the morning light in the distance in front of him.

Under the blood-colored cloudy light, the wind chimes on the gate tower swayed gently in the morning breeze, and a crisp sound sounded. On the warped horns, those small stone beasts standing proudly had a faint hideousness on their bodies.

"All the generals are in place, and they will go out of the city with my army and kill all the enemy soldiers outside the city. Turning over and riding on Yue Ying, the beast rode towards the north of the city.

The ghost generals promised in unison and followed with the guards.

Along the way, there were constantly heavily armed and ready to go on both sides of the avenue to join the team. When Xiao Shizhu reached the north gate, there were already 100,000 ghost soldiers gathered behind him, all of whom were the main force of the defenders of Manjiang City and the sturdy ghost soldiers of the deer fairy under the goddess.

The mighty ghost soldiers, like a winding dragon, traversed half of Manjiang City, and followed Xiao Shizhu silently to the back of the north gate.

The gate of the north gate, which weighed a thousand catties, was slowly pushed open, and Xiao Shizhu took the lead in driving the beast and rushed out. Behind him, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the murderous ghost soldiers followed out of the city.

For a while, the ghost spirit outside the north of the city was full of ghosts, and the sassy wind blew across the flat open land outside the city, and suddenly the grass withered and the flowers withered. After the fierce fighting of the previous days, the craters left on the ground were even more solemn.

Xiao Shizhu's Moon Destroying Sword pointed forward, and the beast rushed forward, rushing towards the camp of the Xudu Army placed by the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty due north.

The unsheathed Moon Destroying Sword, illuminated by the light of the cloudy sun, awoke from its slumber, flashing with a dazzling cold light, and rattling in the wind excitedly and uneasily.

Immediately behind him were the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the ghost soldiers of the Deer Fairy, tens of thousands of beast hooves rushing down, and the dust rose in the quiet early morning, like a sandstorm. The earth trembled as the hoofs trampled on and on.

The united army, which had run out of food, originally wanted to retreat quietly tonight, but they were constantly packing up today, and they were unfortunately seen by the aerial reconnaissance of the flying soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, so Xiao Shizhu decided not to attack the other party, but to concentrate the main army to the enemy's main force, the Xudu Army, to make a sudden and fatal attack.

For today's battle, he deliberately stopped the intermittent attacks on the enemy army that he had been launching recently in the second half of last night, so that his troops could get a good rest, and at the same time, let the tired and hungry United Army sleep well.

This sleep made most of the ghost soldiers of the United Army of the Northern Yin Dynasty sleep until the early morning, still sleeping soundly, and they couldn't wake up from thunder.

However, with a cup of tea, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost soldiers were killed in front of the enemy camp. And except for the guards standing guard who discovered the sudden arrival of the Nine Shadow Army, the other enemy generals were unaware of the arrival of the Nine Shadow Army.

It has been three or five days, and the Xudu army, who are all hungry and full, panicked, but they have no physical strength to fight back, and they can't even basically block the attack, so they can only watch the artillery on the beast soul of the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and aim at them one by one and fire angrily.

The shells whistled to the ground one after another, and the explosion came. In the camp of the Xudu Army, the air waves were flying, the scorching wind was furious, the flames were like a biao, and the earth and rocks were blown up and lifted into the air.

But in the blink of an eye, the barricade outside the camp had become a pile of burning shards, and the front camp was in flames. Smoke billowed down, tents caught fire, and towers collapsed.

Under the sound of guns and screams, Xiao Shizhu took the lead in controlling the beast and leaped over the flames, and the moon-destroying sword in his hand saw the silver light, and where the sword shadow flashed, there would be blood mist.

The army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom lined up in an orderly manner several mandarin duck formations, and as Xiao Shizhu passed through the smoke of the sea of fire, he rushed to the depths of the enemy camp.

Along the way, the Nine Shadows Army rarely encountered the resisting Xudu Army, and most of the enemy troops had not yet broken out of the tent, and were drowned in flames in the explosion of shells along with the tents. Even though some of the Xudu soldiers rushed at them with knives and guns, the hungry front chest was pressed against their backs, and the very sleepy enemy troops were powerless to fight back in front of the Jiuyou National Army with advanced firearms.

When many of the Xudu troops had not yet approached the Jiuyou National Army, but when they saw Zi Gong coming towards them, they only felt that their eyes were dark, and then they were beaten by the Zi Gong of the torrential rain. His body suddenly leaned back, blood splattering up.

The Xudu army, which was in chaos at the beginning, scattered and fled in the midst of the flames, and the ghost soldiers of Xudu could be seen fleeing for their lives everywhere, as well as the hideous Nine Shadow Army, under the command of Xiao Shizhu and his ghost generals, they were divided and staggered.

Lu Xian'er's ghost soldiers and cavalry flew wildly, and Xiao Shizhu rushed forward all the way, invincible. The infantry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom surrounded the enemy troops who had been divided by the cavalry and began to slaughter.

For a while, the sound of gunfire and fighting, mixed with heart-rending screams, resounded in the barracks of the Xudu Army, which was unable to form an army.
