[541] The sky is thundering
Earlier, she couldn't bear to kill the goddess of the king of Xiazhou, and continued to hold the northeast of Xiazhou with her deer fairy ghost soldiers and the remnants of the forbidden army of the king of Xiazhou. Although the goddess has not been in contact with the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the surface, she has actually made contact with Xiao Shizhu in private.
The goddess said that she and her subordinates were willing to join the Nine Shadows Kingdom and serve Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows. But Xiao Shizhu couldn't grasp their loyalty at that time, and he didn't dare to express his position.
However, the cunning Xiao Shizhu also set up a tentative game, that is, he sent a wise and brave fungus man to the Gu Shooting Goddess, as a liaison between the two sides, staying by the side of the Gu Shooting Goddess, and at the same time repaying Xiao Shizhu's every move of the Gu Shooting Goddess at any time. And before the defense of Manjiang City began, Xiao Shizhu contacted the goddess Gu and asked her to lead her army south, and after avoiding the Xudu army led by King Yama to the west of Mingfeng Valley, she advanced westward, and then slowly approached the east of Manjiang City. But Xiao Shizhu also only let them lie dormant outside the battlefield outside the city, and they were not allowed to act without orders.
It can be seen from the fungus that now the ghost soldiers of Lu Xian'er, under the leadership of the goddess of Gu Shot, are dormant in the dense forests of the hills twenty or thirty miles away from Manjiang City. And this move was not noticed by the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty outside Manjiang City.
And every move of the goddess was carried out in accordance with Xiao Shizhu's military order, so the other party's surrender was quite sincere.
Judging from the information sent by the fungus man who served as the liaison, although Lu Xian'er and the others were not far from Manjiang City at this time, they were closer to the rear of the camp of the black-toothed ghost soldiers.
And the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Manjiang City attacked the Chinese army camp of the Xudu Army at night, which had successfully attracted the attention of most of the enemy troops outside the city. Moreover, the fighting quality of the black-toothed ghost soldiers is by no means as strong as that of the Xudu army, and a sudden attack will definitely catch them off guard, panic and palpitations.
And you can use this to observe, whether the goddess is sincere?
After Xiao Shizhu made up his mind, he said thoughtfully to the fungus god Ji: "I ordered Gu to shoot the goddess, run from the northeast to the southwest from the camp of the black-toothed ghost soldiers, and fight all the way to the front of Manjiang City, causing a lot of damage to the siege equipment in the black-toothed ghost soldiers' military camp. When they reached the city wall, I myself opened the door for them, welcomed them into the city, and fought with us against the enemy. ”。
When sending a liaison officer to the Gu Shooting Priestess, Xiao Shizhu also asked the Longju Pass Guard, who was close to Gu Shooting City, Bo Dongha's niece Ula, to send 30,000 incendiary canisters to the Gu Shooting Priestess as a welcome gift.
And there are accompanying military workers to teach the deer fairy ghost soldiers how to use this firearm.
And these firearms, in the dense rain and fog tonight, burst into a scorching wind and raging flames, bringing the breath of death and destruction in the camp of the ghost soldiers of the Black Tooth Country.
"In the fighting, the camp will be burned first, and the battlefield and grain and grass in the opponent's camp will be burned first. When Xiao Shizhu paused, he thought of the grain and grass of the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty this time, half of which came from the Corpse Country composed of the Black Tooth Country and the Corpse Soul.
Half of the grain and grass of the Xudu army has been destroyed in the night raids of Yuhua and Zuofan, and the grain and grass reserves of the Black Tooth Country and the Bishu Country are not much because of the long-term war. At this time, once the food and grass of one of the large armies in the combined army is destroyed again, the logistical supply of this combined army will be interrupted. If grain and grass are mobilized from the Plain of the Hidden Gods or the Fusang Kingdom, it must be that the distant water cannot save the near fire. The food and grass of the enemy army outside the city will definitely be insufficient for a while, and the Xudu army, which is full of superiority, will definitely not hesitate to satisfy itself first. And the food distributed by the other ghost soldiers of the Hades will be, and then these ghost soldiers who can't eat enough will be dissatisfied and resentful.
When the time comes, civil strife in the united army and chaos in the morale of the army will inevitably occur.
Troublemaking is what Xiao Shizhu is best at, and he can also practice makes perfect this kind of thing. At that moment, he said to Shen Ji again: "Tell Gu to shoot the goddess, you must fight quickly, and you can't be greedy for merit." ”。
The reason why he gave this order was because he had to preserve the strength of the Luxian'er ghost soldiers, and also leave a few more mouths to let them compete with the Xudu army for food, otherwise civil strife would not occur.
Shen Ji nodded in response, and hurriedly passed his order to the goddess of Gu Shooting word for word.
Xiao Shizhu raised his eyes again to look outside Manjiang City, and could see that the Chinese army camp of the Xudu Army was still full of fire, and the heat wave was stirring endlessly.
It won't be long before the barracks of the ghost soldiers of the Black Tooth Country will inevitably end up like this. And the defense of Manjiang City will not be too far from the end......
On the sea of Huangquan in the night rain, the surging monstrous waves roared endlessly. The huge waves several feet high beat down, lifted the bow of the flagship ship of the raccoon dog high, and then fell heavily on the blood-yellow sea, splashing high waves.
The gnashing of teeth stood straight on the deck in front of the helm, looking at the east under the rain curtain, and angry fire burst out in its eyes.
In the distance as far as his eyes could see, it was the Junzi Harbor of the Nine Secluded Country.
Since he was the commander of the water division of the Northern Yin Dynasty, he has fought in the south and the north to quell the rebels, and fought no less than a hundred battles in large and small battles, but he has not suffered such a fiasco.
In this expedition, he brought 5,000 large and small warships, and in a day's battle, more than 1,000 were sunk in the sea outside Junzi Harbor, and hundreds of warships were seriously damaged and could no longer be put into battle.
In addition, nearly 100,000 of his sailors were killed or wounded, and half of the 30 Piercing Moon Chariots were destroyed, and the rest were all damaged. The Beiyin Water Division, which was forced to be powerful, also had to retreat for more than 20 miles to rest.
When did the raccoon dog suffer such a big loss, this is simply a stain that is difficult to erase for his military career.
And if you can't occupy Junzi Harbor and completely annihilate the sailors of the Nine Youguo on the Huangquan Sea, then the Ditu raccoon dog that returns to Xudu will definitely be screwed off by the Emperor Xudu.
At this moment, in the midst of anger, a plan for a night attack gradually took shape in his mind.
In the daytime battle, although the Xudu Army and the Northern Yin Water Division suffered heavy losses, the Nine Shadows Kingdom was also uncomfortable. More than a dozen ships were damaged and silent, and dozens were damaged. Moreover, the natural barrier outside Gentlemen's Harbor, the fortifications on Black Pine Island that rose from the sea, had been destroyed in the fierce battle.
The inconvenient Gonggong Naval Division, when the ship was seriously damaged by fox fire, slowly retreated south after the battle. This means that there is no sailor in Junzi Harbor at this moment.
As for the defenders of Black Pine Island, they suffered heavy casualties and could no longer launch a fierce counterattack as they did during the day. This gave the raccoon dog reason to believe that if he launched a quick attack at this time, he would definitely be able to take Black Pine Island by force.
Once Junzigang loses Black Pine Island, it is tantamount to opening the door. At that time, the Beiyin Sailor can walk freely in front of the port, and the victory of the gentleman is just around the corner.
After making up his mind, he summoned the herald and told him to pass the order down, leaving all the supply ships behind, and a small number of lucky ships guarding them on standby. The other warships immediately prepared to take advantage of the darkness of the night rain and the cover of the rain curtain to rush to the port of Gentlemen.
Most of the warships of the Beiyin Water Division pulled anchors one after another after half an hour. On the towering mast, huge white sails bulged in the strong and powerful wind and rain.
The helmsman in the helm tower took the helm, and the long oars sticking out of the cabin slid in unison, leading these warships to the east with the flagship of the cicoon dog.
In the storm, even the fifty main warships, tall treasure ships made of unsinkable wood, swayed left and right in the stormy seas.
The sailors braved the wind and rain and stabilized the sails on the deck. The gunners in the cabin completed the deployment of the artillery in a quarter of an hour. The soldiers on the deck were also waiting behind the open guns on the bulwarks (the enclosures installed along the edge of the open deck).
This continuous torrential rain made them close to the firepower, quick response, and wide lethality of the Meteor Bowl Mouth Gun (the fire gun equipped by the Northern Yin Water Division, named because the mouth is like a bowl. It can't be used, but the Netherghost Cannon and the Ten Thousand Flames Flying Sand can still be fired freely.
Under the strong west wind, the Beiyin Water Division rode the wind and waves, but after a meal, he came to the outside of Junzi Port. The Black Pine Island in front of them was pitch black, and there were no lights. Only in the Junzi Harbor behind Black Pine Island, the lights can still be seen faintly under the wind and rain.
Standing on the bow of the ship, the cicoon dog looked around at the black pine island immersed in the darkness under the wind and rain, secretly rejoicing. There was not the slightest light on the island, and he couldn't help but think that his prediction was correct.
Presumably, the casualties of the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were too serious, and there was no way to send heavy troops to guard Black Pine Island. Moreover, the night rain was dense, presumably the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not expect that the Northern Yin Water Division walked through the dense rain and fog like locusts, and suddenly appeared in front of the Black Pine Island.
"Small and medium-sized warships immediately entered the harbor and bombarded. The excited Dian Tu Raccoon Dog, with a cold murderous aura flashing in his eyes, couldn't wait to give an order to the heralds beside him: "The big and small warships docked on the side of Heisong Island, and the sailor sergeant immediately landed and seized all the important places on the island. ”。
Not long after the order was issued, in the stormy seas, the small and medium-sized warships, fighting ships and Cangshan ships of the Beiyin Water Division bypassed the tall treasure ships and fortune ships, and headed along the north and south sides of Heisong Island towards Junzi Harbor.
And some of the large warships under the Dio Tu Raccoon Dog, such as the treasure ship Fu Ship and the Silk Boat, also set up a defensive ship formation in the sea area outside Heisong Island.
The rest of the large warships approached the beach west of Black Pine Island and quickly headed for the sampan. Then, the sailors of the Northern Yin Naval Division were fully armed, and they disembarked and rushed to the beachhead, heading towards all parts of the island.
Loud cannons rang out in Junzi Harbor, and thunder erupted in the wind and rain. In the rain and fog, the flames flickered behind the Black Pine Island, and the battle in Gentleman's Harbor had begun.
And the citu raccoon dog can also be seen, mixed with blue light in the red mang, rising and flickering in the gunsmoke, like electric light falling from the sky. Knowing that it was a ghost cannon, it fired a karmic fire bomb and burst out with the light of karmic fire, and his warships began to fight back.
However, in an instant, the area around Junzi Harbor was lit as if it were daylight by the violent explosions brought about by the intensive shelling. Every rain curtain on the vast sea is clearly visible in the light of the fire.
The turbulent waves tumbling on the surface of the sea, surging like the mouth of a hideous beast, constantly crashed into the warships of the Northern Yin Water Division, splashing countless foaming waves.
When the raccoon dog was triumphant about its attack, on the southern sea, there was a sudden fire in the rain and fog under the night, and hundreds of vertical and horizontal fire bombs with scorching wind and heat waves shot out from the rain and fog, and rushed towards the North Yin Water Division.
The pride of the civet dog has not completely dissipated, and the right wing of the south is already broken wood and scattered, and the flames are long. A red light connected to the sea and sky was reflected, thick smoke was billowing everywhere on the battleship, and the chaotic sailors fell into the water screaming in the explosion.
At the same time, thunder rolled in the dark clouds above the head of the Raccoon Dog's head, and the electric light was like daylight.
