The trees in the thick of the forest spread their teeth and claws under the howling night wind. The firelight flickered, and the branches cast distorted black shadows, moving with the wind.

As the saying goes, man is not as good as heaven. Whether it's Harvest or Duula, although they are both excellent ghost generals in the underworld. But neither of them expected that the soldiers who were escorting the empty car would take off their armor and put them on the car with their heavy shields.

In this way, behind the shrubs in the woods, those scouts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, who were covered with weeds and branches on their heads, and were well hidden, looked at a distance from a distance, and really thought that those carts were loaded with grain and grass.

"Inform the general. After observing for a long time, the Scout's Chief Banner whispered to the fungus man on his shoulder, in a voice that only the other party could hear, "The enemy ......."

His small voice was completely muffled by the sound of the axle of the grain cart and the wheezing of the whirring soul of the cart. But before he finished speaking, the general banner of the scout of the Nine Shadows Army suddenly stopped, and at the same time carefully raised a finger, signaling the fungus people not to worry.

When one of the grain carts of the army passed in front of him, a flash of light appeared on the cart, and this dazzling light attracted his attention and vigilance.

There should only be sacks and sacks of grain on the grain cart, how could there be anything that could glow metallicly?

Under suspicion, the general flag continued to wait and see. Soon, he found that the grain carts behind him were shining with golden light under the light of the torches of the Xudu Army.

"I see. After a little thought, the general flag knew that the convoy in front of him was not pulling grain and grass.

This is not only the flickering light on those cars, but also because most of the ghost soldiers of the grain transport team are not wearing armor.

Obviously, the glow on the car must be their armor.

After the scout made a decision, he said to the fungus man: "Tell the general, let her send an air cavalry or a demon soul flying army with night eyes to reconnoiter north from a high altitude, and there should be an enemy army behind it, that is the real food transportation team." ”。

The fungus man immediately passed the news to Duula, who had been waiting in the air, and also informed the tree spirits among the towering giant trees, telling them to stay still and wait for orders.

However, a moment later, the fungus people who followed the Flying Army sent back information that it was indeed ten miles to the north, and there was indeed a huge army of Xudu, which was heading south in the dark, heading towards this side......

Xiao Shizhu stood on the head of Xiancha, staring at the sea of clouds flying in front of him, stunned.

The immortal chariot was suspended in the air, hidden above the clouds. And below the immortal chacha is the dense forest where there are often scouts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The battle has been fought to this day, and everything has exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that the eastern crusade of the Xudu army would lead to civil strife with the destruction of grain and grass, but he did not expect that the supply of grain and grass to the Xudu army would be able to flow for a long time.

Yun Tian is also a tough opponent, she actually asked for food from the many heavens on the Escape God Plain and the extravagant hopes in the Wenyuan Valley before she ran out of food, and at the same time asked some Xiazhou relict ministers north of Manjiang City who had not yet surrendered to collect grain and grass from the cities under her rule.

Although this made the ghost people complain, it also allowed the united army of the Northern Yin Dynasty besieging Manjiang City to get a bite to eat.

But Xiao Shizhu was not discouraged by this, when he and Taishan Fujun's Yuanying, that is, his master, were studying in the human world, they knew that the battlefield was changeable, and any plan could only be regarded as a preparation, a trajectory. However, all countermeasures after going to the battlefield must be determined according to the situation. Sometimes it is necessary to respond to all changes, and sometimes it is necessary to respond to all changes with the same.

It's not terrible to have an accident, but it's terrible to not be able to turn the situation around.

Therefore, in order to reverse the situation, Xiao Shizhu transferred three Xiancha, evaded the Xudu army on the ground from Manjiang City at night, and came towards the ambush circle set up by Duula.

Since he is in Dongyizhou, then he has to reverse the situation with his own hands, the Xudu army has been at ease in Dongyizhou for too long, and he must make them suffer a little more.

"Lord, why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself?" Du Wula, who walked to his side, pursed his lips and smiled: "The army of Xudu only transports forty or fifty thousand grain this time, and I and the army of tree spirits can solve it." ”。

"Your lord, I can't be idle, I have to find something to pass the time. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "Besides, is it interesting for me to rob such an exciting thing as robbing military rations?"

"Your lord, you are really interesting, you actually said that receiving food is extremely glorious. This reminds me of the first lesson you gave me a year ago, when I was ordered to study in the Academy, called being more shameless than the enemy on the battlefield. At that time, when your eyebrows fluttered on the podium, you also felt that it was honorable to be shameless on the battlefield. Taking advantage of the fact that the real grain and grass convoy of the Xudu Army had not yet arrived, Du Wula and the approachable Xiao Shizhu chatted: "At that time, many of our classmates said that you didn't look like a lord or a teacher; ”。

As soon as the words came out, Du Ulla knew that she had no words, and she was so frightened that her heart jumped, and the hairs on her back stood upside down, and the cool air suddenly swished.

"I was born as a street ruffian. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shizhu not only didn't care, but after laughing a few times, he said bluntly: "When I was in the world, I was a ruffian and a liar begging for a living on the streets. ”。

"Huh?" Under an exclamation, the wide-eyed Du Ulla stared at Xiao Shizhu with a look of surprise in his eyes.

She has seen many high-ranking officials such as leaders in the underworld, but these ghosts with status and status, everyone wants to put on the aura of a saint. Xiao Shizhu is the only one, not only not ashamed of what she has done and everything in the past, but also proud, which she never expected.

The yin wind blew in his face, and Xiao Shizhu's robe, who was standing with his hands in his hands, was raised backwards, and the sword spike hanging on the hilt of the Moon Destroying Sword at his waist also swayed with the wind.

"I wasn't born well, it's not about my parents, it's just that I lost them when I was very young. So when I was in the world, I had no background, no backstage, and no protection, so I could only survive on my own. Then I must be shameless, I must do everything, otherwise I can't tell if I will starve to death on the streets one day. Xiao Shizhu stared at the flowing clouds floating in the wind in front of him, and said lightly: "The battlefield is the same, either you die or I live, you can talk about mercy to loyal ghost people under the battlefield, and try to give them mercy." But on the battlefield, if you are not shameless with the enemy, then you have to die. Neither the enemy nor their swords will show mercy to you because of your high morals, and they will certainly not let you live. So the first and only lesson for you, although it is called shamelessness, I hope that you will not abuse your compassion towards the enemy. Otherwise, you will be the first to die on the battlefield. ”。

The more he said this, the more meaningful he was, and after saying that, Xiao Shizhu didn't say more.

And Duula has learned another lesson.

"My lord. At this moment, the accompanying fungus man Shenji rushed over, stood at his feet and said urgently: "The grain and grass are here." ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he bent down against the railing, looked outside the chariot, but after seeing nothing, he pursed his lips and smiled coldly, and then scolded: "It seems that our opponents on the ground have not lit torches." ”。

"Inform the fungus people and tree spirits who are in ambush in the woods, put half of the grain convoy into the woods, rob the grain and grass they are escorting, and raid the grain army. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu told again: "If he is included in it, let him go alone, and he must not be chased and killed." ”。

"No. When Shenji nodded in response, his gaze moved to Xiao Shizhu, who was on Ura's face, and said thoughtfully: "Your subordinates and Xiancha together blocked the Xudu army that did not enter the woods. The mission is to burn all the food and grass and kill all the enemy troops who surrender without disarming. ”。

"No. Duula replied and turned to leave. Then the fairy chariot also began to descend slowly, and the tree spirits lying in ambush on the ground had received orders to attack at any time, only waiting for half of the grain convoy to enter the woods.

Xiao Shizhu walked to the middle of the deck and put on his mount, Yue Ying. The battle in the forest, he had to personally command, and at the same time, he was loyal to the dryads and made one last observation.

When he climbed onto Yue Ying's back, Yue Ying snorted heavily under him.

Then Yue Ying stepped three or five times, and then stood with his front hooves raised, heading towards the wind and clouds above the Xiancha, and the depth and depth of the sky were infinite. After soaring and rising for more than ten zhang, Yue Ying turned around and flew towards the Immortal Queen.

The hundreds of flying troops that followed Xiao Shizhu and spread their wings in the wind. After the demons were a few feet away from Xiancha, they slammed into the air and headed towards the ground below like arrows.

Through the wind and clouds, Xiao Shizhu soon saw the faint outline of the forest under him in the dark. The clanging of swords was heard in the woods with the sound of fighting.

Xiao Shizhu pulled out the Moon Destroying Sword without hesitation, and the beast fell from the sky, and after breaking and shattering dozens of branches of different sizes one after another, it fell to the ground with a bang.

I saw only scattered torches around, and there was a sound of killing in the dimness. In the flickering light of the fire, the shadows swayed and danced wildly. The Xudu Army and the Dryads mingled and engaged in a fierce battle.

The tall dryad swung its arms, and the rattans and aerial roots that sprouted from their arms danced with a strong wind, whipping towards the enemy like a whip.

The Xudu army was also struggling to fight back, although the sudden attack did catch them off guard when the battle began, but after a while, they also immediately stabilized their position under the command of Bei Shu. The swords, guns, and crossbows in his hands were aimed at the dryads.

Sharp arrows shot furiously at the furious dryads, sharp arrows and bullets easily piercing their bark-like and even moss-covered skin.

However, this did not hurt the dryads hard, but only made them even angrier. The spirits in the tree spirits will die if they have no water or are on fire. Otherwise, even if the body is cut to the scales, it will only be painful, and it will not die. Now in this forest, you can see everywhere the woods full of long arrows and crossbow arrows, waving the sword in his hand angrily, and slashing at the Xudu army, the vines on his body flew and swept around, strangled the necks of the Xudu army, and strangled them alive in the woods in the dark night.

Some tree spirits took advantage of the chaos to pull the grain cart with the thick vines sticking out of their bodies and dragged them to their side. The Xudu army was so busy defending against the enemy that no one noticed that in just a few moments, hundreds of grain trucks were towed away.

Xiao Shizhu also joined the battle with hundreds of flying troops at this time. He rushed all the way forward, and after the chaotic ghosts found the harvest, he immediately drove the beast forward and killed the harvest.

His plan was to let the harvest go, and take advantage of the looting of the grain and grass to make the harvest the object of suspicion of the Emperor Xudu.
