The sea breeze swept across the cheeks of the tall brown and Shangqing boys, and blew their robes.

The salty and bitter taste peculiar to the sea is carried by the wind in the air near the beach.

After getting along with Shangqing Boy for a long time, Gao Brown knew that this boss could speak freely, so he didn't have too many worries, so he said everything he thought.

At the same time, it came to mind that when he went out with the army to Shuoyue Island, he saw the scene of the shelling of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

It was a terrifying sight of smoke billowing and fire reaching into the sky.

For Gao Brown, that scene is unforgettable, and it will be difficult to forget for a lifetime.

Even at night, she would recreate the terrifying scene of scorching marks and firelight in her dreams.

At the same time, Gao Brown also knew that when the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom fired in unison and hundreds of shells fell, all the gods and ghosts and the originally hard armor no longer had any defensive advantages, and it was difficult to parry.

When the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom roared, the heavens and the earth trembled.

"There's one thing I've always been curious about. Just when Gao Brown fell into his memory, the Shangqing boy suddenly asked: "The ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, don't you know how to practice magic and ghosts?"

"Yes. Gao Brown's divine sense was pulled back to reality from his memories by Shangqing Boy's words, and he immediately nodded: "It's just a part of the divine and ghost techniques that are applicable to the battlefield." For example, the Gale Slash Knife Method can allow them to kill a bloody path from the heavy encirclement, and it can also allow the Nine Shadows Army to divide the enemy. For example, they can be used to deal with enemy fire. More often, in defensive battles, the Nine Shadows can use advanced weapons to destroy most of the enemies first, and then launch a counterattack like a charge. ”。

"Charge?" Shangqing Boy was stunned when he heard this, and his brows finally stretched out, and he frowned again.

He couldn't figure it out, defensive battles were all passive, how could he still charge?

"Yes, my lord, this is also the terrible thing about Xiao Shizhu. Gao Brown couldn't see the Shangqing boy with his back to him, frowned, and just nodded and said: "He let his ghost soldiers always beat every defense like an attack, and the high morale combined with the advanced firearms that can make the gods and ghosts magic, like a virtual thing, can always beat the enemies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom." Even if the Nine Shadows Army has been besieged in the land of projectiles, their counterattack is not passive at all, and they can always lead the enemy's attack. ”。

"Your Excellency, you see, in the battle report of the last attack on Shuoyue Island, Lord Gong Mingyi has also been led by the nose since he arrived on Shuoyue Island. It wasn't until the Nine Shadows Army was about to run out of ammunition and food that it completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield. Gao Brown recalled the reports and battle reports he had read, and added: "The army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is very good at controlling the dominant power on the battlefield. ”。

"Gong Mingyi, you said that little palace slave. As soon as he heard Gong Mingyi's name, Shangqing Tongzi didn't think about it, so he blurted out a question.

"Huh? Yes. "Gao Brown is not as bold as the Shangqing boy, and he will never dare to say that the Shangqing boy is a palace slave in person, so he only dares to agree.

"That little palace slave doesn't know how to fight at all. Immediately afterwards, the Shangqing boy said again.

"Didn't he see that the Nine Shadows Kingdom had just used less than 500,000 troops to contain the imperial court's elite army of more than two million?" was also a Shangqing boy who was familiar with the battle reports and reports, and from the perspective of a bystander, he saw this battle clearly: "I actually wasted so much time on Shuoyue Island, and I didn't completely occupy Shuoyue Island. It also made the defenders in various places empty, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom could easily attack the southern part of the Six Heavens Continent, any coastal area. ”。

The Shangqing boy could see it clearly, Xiao Shizhu was waiting for the attack of the Beiyin Dynasty, and he also expected that the Beiyin Dynasty would definitely attack Shuoyue Island first.

Therefore, Xiao Shizhu strengthened the military strength of the defenders of Shuoyue Island and increased the weapons and ammunition of the defenders. Let Shuoyue Island become a magnet-like existence, attract the endless Xudu Army and the Xuan Emperor Army, these ghost armies of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and then destroy them on the island.

"There's no way around it. Gao Brown smiled lightly, and said a little helplessly: "In the early days of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the three islands of Sanxing Island, Black Dragon Island and Shuoyue Island, which were almost in the shape of 'Pin' from the point of view of their location, were used as the northern gate and barrier. Once you invade the Nine Shadows Kingdom from the north, do not capture Shuoyue Island, and choose to bypass these three places to attack Xuanyan Continent, you will definitely be cut off from the back route and supplies by the Nine Shadows Army and Naval Division on these three islands such as Shuoyue Island. ”。

"yes. After thinking about it for a while, Shangqing Tongzi also felt that it had to be so, and agreed with Gao Brown's analysis.

"Well, now that there were no barriers, Shuoyue Island, Sanxing Island and Black Dragon Island, with many barriers, the northern gate of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is even more impregnable. Gao Brown then said.

Her words not only made people feel depressed, but even Gao Brown herself, after she finished speaking, a sense of frustration slowly rose in her heart.

The sea breeze is howling, and the waves are crashing on the shore.

The sound of the waves breaking was heard on the reef on the shore.

The shattered waves turned into flowing water, which continued to murmur from the reef and return to the sea.

The boy bent down, picked up a slightly flattened boulder from his feet, and held it in his hand.

Every time the stone fell on the palm of his hand, he felt like he was sinking.

Putting away his frustration, he continued to calm down, thinking about how to rebuild the fortifications here.

"If the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is so fierce, then if hundreds of artillery pieces are erected on those islands now, won't the defense facilities on the shore on our side be useless no matter what we do?" After a long time, the Shangqing boy said this, and at the same time shot the stone in his hand towards the sea in front of him.

The rapidly spinning stone flew across the surface of the sea, bounced up after a dot of water, but soon stopped spinning, fell straight down, and entered the sea, unable to float again.

Gao Brown did not rush to answer, but looked in front of him.

On the surface of the sea that she could see with both eyes, there were nearly ten islands of all sizes, and the closest one was only seven or eight miles away.

A little farther away, the distance is eleven or twelve miles.

It is undeniable that this distance is not too far for the current artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Once the two countries are engaged, the shells of the Nine Shadows will be the first to shoot mercilessly at the beach where Gao Brown is now standing.

When the time comes, in the blink of an eye, the entire coast will be covered in scorching flames.

The otherwise damp sand will become hot under the flames.

"Pretty much. After thinking about it for a while, Gao Brown nodded and said, "It's better to give up building too many above-ground fortifications, otherwise you will only become the target of the bombardment of the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

"Instead, we can learn more from our enemy, the Nine Shadows Kingdom. After a pause, Gao Brown proposed: "In order to prevent being attacked by gods and ghosts, many of the fortifications of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are built underground, and only the shooting holes for firearms and artillery are exposed on the ground. ”。

"It might work. The supernatant boy who chucked his head a few times turned around.

The Shangqing boy, who had just finished speaking, walked slowly towards the depths of the coast.

Every step you take, you still step on the scorched sand.

Gao Brown's sentence learned like an enemy, which made the Shangqing boy have a flash of inspiration and think of some countermeasures.

"Gather all the generals and soldiers here, we have some things that need to be seriously discussed. The Shangqing boy, who hadn't taken a few steps, said this to the personal guards who walked around him and the tall brown who followed behind him......

In the cloudy light, the waves jump erratically, and it is difficult to settle down. The blood-yellow waves, when set off, were filled with a faint blood, diffusing in the sea breeze.

The blood-yellow water of the Yellow Spring Sea, accompanied by a strong sea breeze, swelled with a thousand feet of angry roaring waves.

There is nothing too beautiful in this area of the sea that will make you want to linger.

As far as the eye could see, there were strangely colored blood-yellow waves everywhere, churning endlessly.

However, in five days, the ships of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom rushed out of the dense rain and fog of the Qinglong Sea under the escort of the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and entered the Huangquan Sea under the scorching sun.

The strong wind of the Yellow Springs Sea blew on the deck, blowing the white sails on the ship. Blowing through the sailors' faces on the deck can also blow their cheeks painfully.

On the deck of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom warship, some sailors were still very uncomfortable with the knife-like wind on the Huangquan Sea, and this strong sea breeze made them very uncomfortable.

They always seem to be fine, go behind the mast, dodge the sea breeze.

Looking to the side again, the large iron dragon ship of the Nine Shadows Country Naval Division is like a mountain and an island, and it will still be dumbfounded.

The tall hull made it impossible for the sailors and ghost soldiers on the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom warship to see the whole deck. The twelve tall masts that were on every warship were not moving in the wind, and they always amazed the ghosts of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

Not only that, but even the officials and generals of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom who had seen the great world on the ship, every time they saw the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom that followed them around, they were all amazed.

It's not that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can't build such a huge warship, it's just that they can't keep the warship balanced at all.

This technology is a problem that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom cannot solve.

Moreover, with such a huge ship, the power problem is also a problem for the Qingqiu Fox Country.

Therefore, the ghosts of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom sighed, it was nothing more than that they could build such a huge ship, but they couldn't solve the balance and power problems of the huge hull like the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"You see, none of their ships are tilted or skewed, and no matter how strong the wind and waves are, they have always been stable. On the mast of the flagship of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom's warship, a sailor who was responsible for observing the surrounding waters sighed to his companions: "How did the Nine Shadows Kingdom know?"

The fellow sailor beside him, sitting on the beam of the mast, with a blade of grass in his mouth that he had gotten out of nowhere, looked left and right.

The wind blew, and the blades of grass trembled in the wind.

Even if these two sailors of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had already come to the top of the mast on their ship, they still couldn't see the whole picture of the deck of the Nine Shadows Kingdom warship next to them.

He couldn't answer his partner's question, and he didn't know how the Nine Shadows had solved the problem of balancing the hull and power.

So he was also at a loss, and his heart was full of confusion and incomprehension.

And the Qingqiu Fox King, who was sitting in the shipbuilding, was calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was also full of confusion.

The Qingqiu Fox King asked the palace slaves beside him to push open the window, and he could see the waves outside the window, constantly surging.

The sea breeze poured in through the open window and blew across the face of the Qingqiu Fox King. He looked out the window, and he could also see the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the shadows cast on the bow of the ship, looming towards their fleet.

The shadows shrouded in the cabins, and there was some darkness in the cabins.

These shadows not only shrouded the body of the Qingqiu Fox King, but also shrouded his heart.

The devil knows how the Nine Shadows Kingdom did it, and was able to build a much larger battleship that was the ironclad treasure ship of the Northern Yin Dynasty?

Looking out the window, the Qingqiu Fox King picked up the teacup, scraped the tea powder in the cup with the cover of the quilt unhurriedly, and took a sip.

The hatch slowly opened, and a fox ghost with white hair and white beard, gray hair on his body, and a two-inch long beard under his chin, walked in.

This ghost is no longer a small fox ghost, and there is no sign of old age and weakness. He wore a purple robe with wide sleeves and a waist with a gold and jade belt.

This old fox ghost is the prime minister of the Qingqiu Fox King - Fox Shidou.

It is said that this is not his real name, but was changed later. Just because others are very knowledgeable, he is only eight buckets, but he reads all the books of the underworld, reads all the ghost books, including the books that have just been newly printed and released, and will also try his best to buy them and read them, and he knows a lot, so he changed his name to Shidou.

He is also the longest-serving old ghost who has followed and allegiated to the current Qingqiu Fox King.

A long time ago, he was already the ghost who put the current Qingqiu Fox King on the throne, and he was also the most respected old man in the fox ghost royal family.

Even the current Qingqiu Fox King respects and respects him. And very trusting.

And he came to the Qingqiu Fox King today to persuade the Qingqiu Fox King to give up a certain plan.

"The King. Fox Shidou stood only a foot away from the Qingqiu Fox King, stood on the board of the boat that was not covered with carpet, and bowed slightly.

"Uncle Shidou, what's the matter?" After glancing at the old ghost, the Qingqiu Fox King put down the teacup in his hand.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in this cabin, only the Qingqiu Fox King and the old palace slave Hu Qi, Fox Shidou did not hesitate, and said bluntly to the Qingqiu Fox King: "The king, the minister suggests that the plan we planned together before should be abandoned." The Nine Shadows Kingdom can send a big war ship to escort us to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but I am afraid that we have already prepared for it, and we will not give the king a chance to blame. ”。

Sure enough, as Xiao Shizhu expected, the Qingqiu Fox King had planned to cause a little murder attempt and other things, and wrote, directed, and acted in a scene assassinated by assassins, implying that he was instructed by the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which caused him to almost die in distress to confuse all beings in the world.

If it succeeds, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will be a villain with no faith and no reputation, and in the Netherworld, for example, its prestige will decline. The key is that even if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom attacks the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it will have an excuse.

It can even be used to gain support in other places outside of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. You can also borrow war funds from the cash drawers and money banks of other ghost countries.

The Qingqiu Fox King is so thoughtful and calculating, which is really eye-opening. It's just that Xiao Shizhu had already expected all this and made preparations in advance.

"The minister even thinks that the sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not meet us at sea because they were late, but if they did not enter the ports of our seas, no one would know about them coming to escort us. The old fox ghost fox Shidou, seeing that the Qingqiu Fox King didn't say a word, just frowned in contemplation, so he persuaded again: "Once our plan is implemented, they will even sink our ships on the deserted sea, leaving no living mouth, destroying the corpses, so that our plan will not only fail to succeed, but the king will die innocently, no one will know where you died, and no one will be able to spread the news." ”。

Fox Shidou's speculation is not unreasonable, and so are Xiao Shizhu and Lin Cong's plans. If you can't stop the Qingqiu Fox King from writing, directing, and acting in the 'self-harming' behavior to blame the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, then let him Qingqiu Fox King really die at sea, but if the Qingqiu Fox King and them die quietly.

So in the past few days, the fleet of the Navy Division of the Nine Shadows Country has been taking the Qingqiu Fox King to some sea areas within a radius of 100 miles that can't even be seen on the islands.

So much so that the fleet of the Qingqiu Fox Country seemed to have disappeared into the vast sea.

The waves rushed in and hit the side of the flagship of the Qingqiu Fox King, and the slightly swaying hull made a creaking sound because of the squeaking and squeezing of the wooden planks.

On the other hand, looking out the window, the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom not far away were still flat and stable in the waves.

They have been on the left and right sides of the fleet of the Qingqiu Fox Country, inseparable.

Due to the height of the hull, even if there are ships passing by in the left and right seas, you can't see the Qingqiu Fox Country Sailor Fleet sandwiched in the middle.

The Qingqiu Fox King turned his head to look out the window, and what he saw was still the tall hull of the ship, casting a large shadow.

His fists, hidden in his sleeves, clenched suddenly.

Before he knew Xiao Shizhu, he always thought that his scheming and viciousness were incomparable to the ghosts in the Netherworld, and even the Emperor Xudu was inferior to his Qingqiu Fox King.

This kind of arrogance has always been the pride of the Qingqiu Fox King, after knowing Xiao Shizhu, after seeing Xiao Shizhu's step-by-step killing machine, a little bit of collapse and disappear. In its place, it was just unwillingness and uneasiness.

The Qingqiu Fox King was no longer as calm as before, and a tangled look slowly appeared in his eyes.

This blame plan, he has been planning for a long time, and now he is about to kick the door, but it is about to be completely flooded, and the unwillingness to rise in the heart of the Qingqiu Fox King is getting heavier and heavier.

"The King. Seeing that the Qingqiu Fox King was still entangled, and was silent for a long time, the fox Shidou was anxious, his eyes were full of anxious looks, he took a step forward, and after getting closer to the Qingqiu Fox King, he lowered his voice and continued to persuade: "King, whether you are a person or a ghost, you can turn the tables when you are alive, and only when you are alive can you have a chance to turn defeat into victory." If you die, there's nothing. If we live, then there will be a time to win it back, give up, it's important to live. ”。

When Fox Shidou said this, he looked at the Qingqiu Fox King with expectant eyes, hoping that the Qingqiu Fox King would nod and agree in the next second and give up the plan.

The Qingqiu Fox King did not disappoint the fox Shidou, and after a while, he clenched his fists hard, and he also gritted his teeth vigorously. Although the heart of the Qingqiu Fox King was still full of unwillingness, what Fox Shidou said was not unreasonable, and after careful consideration, he had no choice but to grit his teeth again, agreed to Fox Shidou's suggestion, and said hatefully: "Okay, give up." ”。
