[861] Fierce battle
The wind was much quieter, from a roar to a whining sound.
The wind and sand are also smaller, and the gray and yellow between heaven and earth are much lighter. Visibility has improved a lot.
Under such circumstances, the army fought in the wilderness without even a little cover. The ghost who is in charge of the post-break task will be very stressful.
Whether it was the national teacher Yingying or the headless punishment heaven, they were about to open their mouths to persuade Xiao Shizhu to go first, Xiao Shizhu opened his lips again and said to them in a calm tone: "Needless to say, I am your lord, enjoying the brocade and food you have worked so hard for, naturally there are dangerous things, and I have to bear the brunt of the heavy responsibility for you." What's more, I have mystical power and can perform powerful magic and magic skills, and I am the best person to stay and serve as the post-break mission. can also have the greatest chance of getting out of the fight. ”。
"Hurry up and prepare, form a defensive line around the passage, and enter the passage in batches. Seeing that the ghosts were slow to move, Xiao Shizhu ordered sharply: "I am still your lord, and you must not disobey my orders." ”。
"No. When he heard this, he replied softly. Then, according to Xiao Shizhu's order, he went towards the side of the passage.
"How's the war on Shuoyue Island?" Xiao Shizhu asked Xingtian, who was accompanying him, after putting away the Moon Destroying Sword.
"The battle is over, we won. Xingtian carried the giant axe on his shoulder, and said to Xiao Shizhu as he walked: "General Yingzhao also captured the enemy general Gong Mingyi alive. ”。
"Really?" Xiao Shizhu, who was excited, was in high spirits, raised his eyebrows after being slightly stunned, and shouted loudly with joy: "This is really good news." ”。
"Yes, it's just that no one expected that everything in the Yellow Springs would be so difficult, my lord. I knew that this was the end, so I might as well not come. After Xing Tian said this, he sighed.
By the time the sigh landed, they had already walked to the vicinity of the passage, and Shi Cassia had already entered the passage one after another with the seriously wounded soldiers. And Qin Yuan Taifeng, as well as Xun Xiang Ke Yun, are directing other sergeants to build a defensive line nearby.
The ghost generals arranged shield bearers and spearmen at the front of the team, forming a line of defense lines that could cover each other with horns. Then came the archers.
Xiao Shizhu took off the wrench on his thumb, threw it to Shi Cianming, turned back, and stood on the south side of the passage, standing south at the front of the line. Xunxiang and the black monkey also followed, standing beside him.
"Xunxiang, you will go with General Xingtian in a while. After taking off the kettle and drinking the water in the back, Xiao Shizhu glanced at Xun Xiang beside him, and smiled at her: "Don't you want to see the ghost country under my rule? ”。
Xun Xiang glanced at the corners of Xiao Shizhu's slightly raised mouth, and said categorically: "My illusion can help you, I am willing to stay and fight side by side with you to the end, and then go to see your ghost country together." ”。
"You don't have to go to the battlefield to do tricks. Xiao Shizhu directly used this sentence, and after rejecting Xun Xiang, he said: "You have behaved very well, leave the rest to me to deal with." ”。
Xun Xiang was silent, did not object or agree. Still standing silently beside Xiao Shizhu.
She was more than happy to fight for this son of God.
Xiao Shizhu gave her the life she had always longed for and hoped for, which neither the Heavenly King nor the Emperor Xudu did.
"But I'm willing to stick with you until the end, it's my pleasure. After a long time, Xun Xiang was no longer silent, and resolutely said: "Even if you are the lord, you can't deprive me of the right to pursue glory." I'll make sure you live, and then you can show me your ghost kingdom again. ”。
As soon as these words came out, Xing Tian laughed.
Xiao Shizhu was silent, too lazy to talk to Xun Xiang, thinking that it was nothing for Xun Xiang to stay, but to verify her loyalty, Xing Tian, who had laughed enough, suddenly asked: "Lord, where did you find such a stubborn chick? ”。
"Headless, watch your words. Without waiting for Xiao Shizhu to speak, Xun Xiang glanced at Xingtian, and said in a deep voice: "When I was created by the ancient gods, you and your people had not yet been born. ”。
Xiao Shizhu could hear that it was Xingtian's little girl, which made Xun Xiang unhappy. At the moment, Xingtian smiled and quipped: "Do you hear that? You have to call her grandma, or grandma, who makes her older than you?"
"Am I so old?" Xun Xiang muttered, took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his sleeve, held it in the palm of his hand and aimed it at his face, and when he looked carefully left and right, Xingtian answered: "Or call it Grandma?"
With that, he laughed with Xiao Shizhu.
The hearty laughter was quickly drowned out by the noisy hooves of beasts from far and near.
Xiao Shizhu and Xing Tian put away their smiles in unison, and as they looked ahead, their right hand touched their waists and grasped the hilt of the Moon Destroying Sword.
In the wind and sand, a group of neatly arranged Huangquan ghost soldiers and beasts stepped forward, their figures became clear little by little, and they were getting closer and closer to Xiao Shizhu and them.
These Huangquan ghost soldiers approaching the passage surrounded them from the south, southeast, and southwest. Now, they were led by a kobold demon spirit, the same ghost general who had chased Xiao Shizhu to the south of the swamp before.
This ghost general also took Chiyun's way and quickly advanced along the edge of the swamp, but due to the delay in finding Xiao Shizhu on the way, Chiyun and the others arrived here an hour or two late. As soon as he arrived, he encountered the defenders who had been repelled by Xiao Shizhu. Saw the devastated battlefield, and the torn defense line.
So, this ghost general, relying on his official position, took on the temporary command, and he reorganized his army to attack again. A group of Dangkang cavalry was leading the way in front of the team, serving as the vanguard, and they were coming towards Xiao Shizhu and their majestic head-on.
They were followed by the elite hoplites of the Huangquan Ghost Soldiers. The crown carries a sword, holds a long spear, and carries a longbow on his back. Or with a crossbow machine in hand, they formed a phalanx to follow behind the cavalry.
The momentum is huge, like a black cloud. As far as the eye can see, there are pieces of armor shining in the cloudy sun, slightly dazzling.
"Archers prepare!" Xiao Shizhu shouted, the crossbow archer behind him pulled the bow and built it, and then raised the bow and arrow slightly and pointed it to the sky in front of him, but none of the ghosts let go of the bow and arrow in his hand.
"Steady!" Qin Yuan, who was hovering over the passage, shouted again.
The shield bearer at the front of the team had already crouched, and the shields in his hands were connected one by one, forming a solid barrier around the perimeter of the army.
The spear and Changge stepped forward, standing on the shield and holding the weapon in their hands, ready to stab at any time.
"It's ten feet. Xing Tian, who was at the front of the team, looked in front of him, reminding Xiao Shizhu of the distance of the enemy cavalry.
"Wait. Xiao Shizhu said unhurriedly, and when he secretly used his Xuan power, he slowly pulled out the Moon Destroying Sword, raised it high and pointed at the gray sky.
"It's seven feet. As the tip of the sword shone in the cloudy light, Xingtian shouted again.
"I know. Xiao Shizhu said calmly, and the hand holding the Moon Destroying Sword still didn't let go. None of the archers with crossbows behind him acted without permission.
"Wuzhang...... Four feet. Xingtian, who looked directly at him, loosened the ten fingers of his hands slightly, and then quickly clenched the long shield and giant axe in his hand, took a deep breath and said softly: "Sanzhang!"
Xiao Shizhu, who had just spoken, had already swung the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand forward, and at the same time carried the ghost qi accumulated in his chest, and shouted with an angry roar: "Release!"
The shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and there were bursts of sharp sounds that broke the air behind him at the same time.
Feathered arrows and crossbow arrows flew into the sky with rage. After slicing silver arcs through mid-air, they fell on the enemy like a torrent of rain in a raging wind.
Blood splattered and flew in the screams, and dark clouds suddenly covered the sky above the enemy's heads, and lightning and thunder roared.
Qin Yuan behind Xiao Shizhu also landed on the top of the passage, and began to carry the ghost qi, flapping his wings again and again. A subtle humming sound echoed in the wind and sand......
Netherworld, Shuoyue Island.
Ying Zhao used the excuse that Xiao Shizhu ordered to take care of important materials, and after temporarily placing Xiao Poria in the southern port, he hurried back to Xiaoyu Mountain City.
When he walked into the backyard of the military yamen and followed the stone steps to the low hole in the courtyard, he saw the yellow water boiling under the open stone slab.
"What's going on?" Ying Zhao didn't say a word, picked up his gun and went straight to the side of the stone slab, staring at the churning yellow water and asking the Su Tianju disciples beside him.
"There should be a ghost coming out of it, right?" The Su Tianju disciple led by him pondered for a moment and gave Ying Zhao such an uncertain answer.
Now the ghosts of the Netherworld, except for the Emperor Xudu, know very little about these ancient god relics. It's just that there are quite a lot of people who know a lot, and more people don't know anything.
That Su Tianju disciple only came to this conclusion when he sensed that there was a ghost qi surging under the muddy waters.
It's not that she knows much about this passage and the other world on the other side.
Just a moment after her words landed, Shi Cassia jumped out of the muddy water with the rising column of water. Then the water column fell, and there was a loud noise. Not a single drop of water could overflow.
Even the water droplets that were stained on Shi Cianming's body were pulled back by invisible forces when he landed.
"Shi Cassia Ming?" Ying Zhao looked at it and said happily: "Your kid is back." ”。
As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Shi Cianming's shoulder heavily, and was about to ask a question, but Shi Cianming had already flashed his wrench and said to Yingzhao: "Uncle Yingzhao, go and prepare for the heaven-shaking thunder, the more the better." ”。
Ying Zhao was stunned for a moment, took the wrench, and just glanced at it and recognized that it was a token of his eldest brother Xiao Shizhu, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is it the lord's order?"
As he spoke, he frowned tightly, secretly thinking about what Xiao Shizhu wanted him to do when he was going to shake the sky?
After a flash of thought, Ying Zhao turned to the guards behind him, and when he conveyed the order, several ghosts with faces had already jumped out of his slumber with the national teacher Yingying.
"Medicine, medicine, they need to be treated. Ying Ying, the national teacher who had just come out, picked up a ghost soldier who had already broken one arm and was just bandaged briefly, and shouted to the Su Tianju disciples beside him: "Give him an anti-inflammatory and stop the bleeding immediately." ”。
"Go and prepare the medicine, and let the ghost doctor gather and stand by. Ying Zhao was interrupted again, but he also hurriedly asked the herald to give the order.
Then he looked at Shi Cassia and asked, "Where is the lord?"
"The lord is still below, fighting the enemy in Huangquan. Shi Cianming replied urgently, and went to help the national teacher Yingying and place those injured ghost soldiers.
The underground cave was lively, and a steady stream of ghost soldiers poured out of the passage, all of them were ghost soldiers with raw faces, and they were all wounded soldiers covered in colors.
Ying Zhao was a little dazed, he didn't know anything, he looked at the ghost soldiers who kept appearing in the muddy water, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
