[601] The army is overwhelmed
On the vast blue waves, the fleet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom rode the wind and waves, and continued to advance from the northeast to the southwest.
The tumbling waves slapped against the outward arch of the Gongyuan flagship one after another. The swirling oar, swayed by the Mighty Mountain Oni, swirls underwater and propels the tall fortune boat forward.
Gong Yuan, who was in the cabin, responded and walked towards the square table, thinking as he went, "The lord can't wait to see his little daughter-in-law, right?"
After all, Gongyuan was in charge of serving as Tu Yaoqing's guard on the sea, which was kept secret from most ghosts, but not from Xiao Shizhu. Thinking of this, Gongyuan showed a slightly ambiguous smile to Xiao Shizhu.
But Gongyuan still doesn't know much about Xiao Shizhu, who turned a blind eye to his playful smile, and the purpose of his trip was really not to see Fox Ji.
Gongyuan sat down next to Xiao Shizhu, Xiao Shizhu picked up a teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea for Gongyuan, and said bluntly: "I have a task for you, after escorting me to Sanxing Island, lead these warships under your command to Shanwan, where Lin Cong will expand the fleet of warships and soldiers for you." As soon as you resupply, you lead your team here and block the seas. ”。
After saying this, Xiao Shizhu had already taken out a sheepskin map from his sleeve, unfolded it and pressed the corner with a teacup, and pointed his fingers to the southeast and southeast of the map accurately, pointing at a coastal bay called Wu Di on the map.
Gong Yuan fixed his eyes, this was a map of Dongyi Continent, and the place that Xiao Shizhu was pointing to was the eastern harbor of Lei Zeguo.
"Blockade?" Gong Yuan raised his head, and his suspicious gaze fell on Xiao Shizhu's face.
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu leaned back, leaned back on the back of the chair and put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes slightly and said: "I got information that Lei Zeguo and Feitou are both transporting supplies, money and food from the east of Huangquan Sea to Fenglin Continent, so I want you to be a 'pirate' and plunder all the materials and money that can be plundered from the sea." Transporting every handful of iron, every bundle of grass, and every bucket of grain they had prepared for the Northern Yin Dynasty to Shanwan. ”。
Gong Yuan is also a veteran of the battlefield, and after a little thought, he also felt that this plan was feasible. The naval divisions of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are on par with the Northern Yin Water Division, while the sailors of the Ghost Kingdoms such as Lei Ze Country and Feitou Country are simply vulnerable under the cannons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
As long as the sailors of the Nine Ghost Kingdoms arrive, they can cut off the tribute of these ghost countries to the Northern Yin Dynasty. Not only can you take the tribute as your own, but you can also cut off part of the construction resources of the Northern Yin Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone.
After a moment, Gongyuan nodded and accepted the task.
It's just that Gongyuan still thinks too simply, he only sees two advantages, but Xiao Shizhu sees three. The information he got was that the Beiyin Dynasty could cross the unsinkable wooden warships in weak water that were around Fenglin Continent and did not float, and sometimes they would come to carry supplies, and Xiao Shizhu also took a fancy to these unsinkable woods.
"But remember one thing, you must not land and fight, nor can you get close to the enemy's coastline, you can only seize it at sea. As long as it's at sea, you can be as fierce as you want, but you can't approach the shores of these ghost countries. Subsequently, Xiao Shizhu explained again. He just wants to grab supplies, and he doesn't want to go to war with these ghost countries for the time being.
After a pause, he said again: "If you encounter an unsinkable wooden warship of the Northern Yin Dynasty, it is best to grab the entire ship." ”。
"No. Gong Yuan, who stood up, replied with a bow.
"Okay, business is over, you don't have anything to deal with, let's have tea and chat together. Xiao Shizhu, who smiled indifferently, sat up straight, lifted the teapot on the table and refilled some hot water in his teacup.
It is still far away from Sanxing Island, Xiao Shizhu has to find something to pass the time, otherwise he will die of boredom.
"Lord, aren't you going to see the fox princess?" Now that the business has been discussed, Gong Yuan also put away the solemn color on his face, and asked with a smile on Xiao Shizhu's eyebrows.
I didn't think that Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned, and asked casually: "What fox Ji?"
This question made Gongyuan so much that he didn't know how to talk. Then he was stunned in the chair, and after staring at Xiao Shizhu for a moment, he slowly replied: "It's the fox queen of Qingqiu Kingdom." ”。
After being reminded by him, Xiao Shizhu remembered that Gongyuan was indeed the ghost general responsible for escorting Tu Yaoqing on the sea.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head without interest, picked up his teacup and said casually: "Anyway, I can see sooner or later, so why rush at this time; ”......
Dongyizhou, in the north of Aoki County in the Nine Hidden Kingdom, Du Wula, who carried a three-foot-nine-inch long knife at his waist, climbed the pavilion built against the cliff on the top of Longju Mountain.
This pavilion was recently built and stands on the east side of the hill. The eaves under the green tile are empty, and the shelves are surrounded. Fifty-six red-lacquered columns support the three-story building, which is nine feet high.
From afar, it is majestic and majestic. The tone is dignified and majestic, and the style is decorated and simple.
Du Ula, who climbed to the top floor, stood on the ring corridor surrounded by the outside of the building and looked into the distance by the railing, condescendingly, and had an unobstructed view of the east side of the mountain.
To the east of Longju Pass is the territory of the Razor Kingdom. Dozens of streams of varying widths and narrows are as dense as spider webs, dividing the endless plains into hundreds of lands of different shapes. As far as the eye can see, it looks like a thousand islands standing in the middle of the vast ocean.
The autumn wind swirled, and in the maple-red and apricot yellow rivers on both sides of the territory of Lei Ze Country, a steady stream of green ghost mist surged with the wind, spreading in all directions. Like a splash of waves, like a storm crashing on the shore.
In the gloomy mist, thousands of Razor Nation flags stood in the forest. Decorated with nine ornaments, a long pole with a height of seven feet (forty-nine feet) breaks through the fog, and a flag embroidered with the pattern of a thunder beast waives in the wind. The brass bell hanging from the head of the pole also sounded softly in the wind in the fog.
A forest of knives and guns loomed in the mist that was constantly revealed by the whirlpool blown by the autumn wind.
Since this morning, ghost soldiers from all over the country have come one after another, and they have gradually completed the assembly on the border line. The Nine Shadows Army in Longju Pass is like a great enemy, and has entered a state of alert for the whole army.
The artillery towers on the eastern slope and the cannons in the bunker were calibrated in unison, and the soldiers' guns also stretched out from the holes of the guns, aiming at the territory of the Razor country below the mountain, and they were ready to fight.
No one knows what these ghost soldiers of the Razor Country are going to do, but it is not difficult to see from their posture that the army has a good sense of consciousness. It's just that I don't know if the enemy will attack immediately, or if there is another attempt.
"General, do you want to notify the defenders of the county to come to support?" the lieutenant general of Duula strode over to her and stood still, looking forward and looking up and down. Looking at those swords, guns, swords, and halberds looming in the ghost mist, he couldn't help frowning, and a little worry appeared in his eyes.
"No need, I want to see what these ghost soldiers of the Razor Country are going to do?" Du Ula waved his slender right hand and said categorically: "Notify the gas eaters to come and swallow all this mist for me." ”。
After a pause, Du Ulla said, "I want to see how many ghost soldiers are coming?"
The lieutenant replied and turned to leave. After a while, he came to the building with hundreds of souls. These souls all have long blue hair on the top of their heads, and their nostrils are twice as large as ordinary human souls, like pig's noses.
These souls are all gas-eating ghosts, who do not eat grains but only eat all kinds of gases, so they are all skinny. After Xiao Shizhu took charge of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, this kind of ghost was incorporated into the army by him. The main job is to breathe the fog for the army to broaden their horizons when they encounter dense fog.
I saw the hundreds of qi-eating ghosts standing facing east, inhaling deeply, the ribs on their chests appeared, and the ghost mist under the mountain was also sucked into their mouths like long whales sucking water, and swallowed into their stomachs.
In the blink of an eye, their shriveled bellies gradually bulged with the entrance of the cold ghost mist.
The ghostly fog surrounding the mountain also began to fade and fade. The plains, cut by streams, are gradually revealed.
Duula and her lieutenant looked at it and gasped.
Looking at the bottom of the mountain, I saw that the border of the Leize Country was full of ghost soldiers of the Leize Country, arranged in a phalanx, facing the border of the Nine Shadows Country.
The dense ghost soldiers exuded a rich yin qi, constantly leading out the ghost mist in the stream, and the heaven and earth were calm.
Most of them were cavalrymen riding sturdy purple-scaled thunder qilins, and the heavily armed cavalry was extremely well-equipped, and although they were not wearing armor, they were wearing a silk robe. This kind of silk is made of raw silk from the black-headed yin silkworm in the underworld, and it is very finely woven, and it is difficult for long arrows to penetrate this silk garment, and it will only be inserted into the wound with the arrow and cloth.
The strength is second only to the robe on Xiao Shizhu's body.
In Dongyizhou, which is rich in mulberry wood and black-headed yin silkworms, many ghost soldiers of the ghost country have such robes. But the other ghost soldiers will put a soft armor on the outside of the robe.
However, in order to improve mobility, the cavalry of the Razor Country did not wear soft armor. Melee weapons are scimitars and spears, supplemented by hand axes and iron bones.
As for the longbows they carried on their backs, they were all made of the best wood and horns and tendons to make long bows.
This kind of longbow has a range of more than 100 zhang, and the pulling force is at least 500 catties.
And behind the Lei Qilin cavalry, there are tens of thousands of elephant soldiers. The fanged elephant stared wide with rage and danced its giant nose. The protruding backs are like small hills, standing on the land of the land of Razor Country.
The repeating crossbow erected on the elephant's neck, and the ghost soldiers on the elephant's back calibrated it, all pointing to the side of Longju Pass.
Except for the Thunder Qilin cavalry and elephant soldiers, infantry was rarely seen in the enemy's territory, but thousands of sails could be seen on the stream. Warships, of all sizes and shapes, hurried the streams that separated the plains in enemy territory.
Du Ulla also saw hundreds of flint cannons on the warships near the border, all aiming at the eastern slopes of Longju Mountain in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
"It's really a big army. After smacking his tongue for a moment, Duula's lieutenant couldn't help but sigh: "With such a big formation, it would be self-deception to say that they are not here to invade the border." ”。
As soon as his voice fell, the gas eaters had stopped sucking the ghost mist, and a steady stream of ghost mist was inhaled into their mouths, allowing them to support their intestines one after another, and if they continued, they would inevitably be supported by their stomachs and intestines.
When they stopped inhaling the ghost mist, the ghost mist on the ground converged again, and after a while, the fog was vast under the mountain. The ghost soldiers of the Lei Ze Kingdom disappeared into the thick ghost mist again, and only a piece of green remained between heaven and earth.
The murderous aura appeared in the forest ghost fog, and the temperature around him plummeted in an instant, and the cold that diffused between heaven and earth intensified.
Du Ulla frowned, and secretly screamed in his heart: "Not good." ”。
At the same time, only a few "boom" sounds were heard in the air, which suddenly sounded in the depths of the fog, and then I saw the Dao Fire Bullet breaking through the thick fog and coming towards Longju Pass.
The wind was strong where the fire bomb passed, and it spun violently, blowing the thick ghostly mist out of a whirlpool that flowed endlessly.
