Du Ziren's face was full of gloom, and he squinted at Wu Hui, who was full of anger, and his eyebrows showed disdain: "Come on, handcuff him too, and it's okay to be a slave." ”。

The color of contempt that has always been in his eyes has not diminished but increased.

As soon as the words fell, a burly one-horned mountain ghost came outside the hall. The mountain ghost put the iron collar in his hand on the neck of the struggling Wu Hui without hesitation, and after adding a lock to lock the collar, he gave the former prince and king two slaps with his backhand.

Wu Hui recognized at a glance that the edge of the collar and the lock were blessed, and the blessed rune was the Ancient Heart Burning Talisman. Once you remove the collar yourself, you will * die.

Only the key on the collar, or an artifact created by an ancient god such as the Moon Destroying Sword, can be broken.

The princes were about to be reduced to slavery, and shame, anger, and consternation were mixed together, and suddenly surged into Wu Hui's heart.

"Drag him out and lock him up first, starve him for two or three days, and then take him to the fire forest at the bottom of the mountain to be a slave sentry. As soon as Du Ziren waved his hand, the two ghost soldiers and the one-horned mountain ghost were dragged and dragged Wu Hui outside the hall.

At the same time, a panicked ghost soldier also shouted "Report!", rushed into the hall, stopped and knelt down a foot in front of Du Ziren, panted and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the army sent to attack the Nine Shadows Kingdom has missed, the sergeant has suffered heavy casualties, and the patriarch of the snake bone ghost has also died on the spot!"

"What?" Suddenly stunned, Du Ziren, who was wide-eyed with angry eyes, stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, and instantly turned a little pale.

The army sent to attack Chongshan Pass, each soldier was carefully selected by him, and each ghost soldier participated in the rebellion of the rebel slaves in the Southern Barbarian Land all the year round, and had rich combat experience, and the number was far better than that of the defenders arranged by Xiao Shizhu in Chongshan Pass.

With so many advantages, he was actually defeated, and the main general was also killed, which made Du Ziren angry and very incomprehensible.

"Hahaha!" Wu Hui, who was being dragged to the front of the palace, listened to the report of the comer in his ears word for word, and when he saw Du Ziren annoyed and embarrassed, he raised his head and smiled, then gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Retribution, this is retribution." Du Ziren, Xiao Shizhu is coming soon, and your fate will only be worse than Lonely!".

"Give this slave to me and drag it away immediately!" Du Ziren pointed at Wu Hui, who was still gloating, and roared angrily, his eyes full of anger, and then fell on the ghost soldier who was still kneeling in front of him, and said angrily: "Immediately gather all the ministers and enter the palace to discuss matters!" ......

In Yuque City, Xiao Shizhu gave him a few days to play with his daughter Gui Qian'er in his mansion, and then took the sergeant assigned by Xiao Shizhu to him, as well as the deputy general Li Hao, who joined the army Li Chai, and set off from Yuque City and marched towards Chongshan Pass.

Seventeen days later, he arrived on time at the heavy mountain pass, which was low in the south and high in the north, and a large number of weapons and materials followed.

Although the pass has been repaired today, there are still a lot of ruins and messes everywhere, and there is a lot of slaughter under the devastation.

Many days after the war, the traces of knives, guns and arrows left on the stones are still visible. The charred black land is still quietly telling the tragedy of the battle that day.

"Ghost General. Zuo Fanfang saw that the ghost was captured in the valley, so he drove the dragon forward, and after landing on the ground opposite him, he saluted in a whole robe, and said respectfully: "The last general is ordered by the lord and the king, and the last general is here to wait for the general." ”。

"Deputy Chief Soldier Zuo Fan, you have worked hard. The ghost's gaze bypassed Zuo Fan, and after sweeping over the guards in the pass behind him and the sappers who were rebuilding the pass, he soon found that all the ghosts had gloomy eyes and sad faces.

"Deputy General Left, now that the sergeants are depressed and demoralized, we have to think of a way to revive our morale. The ghost captives didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "You can tell me about the current situation first." ”。

"No. Zuo Fan replied and said, "General, please come with me." ”。 As he spoke, he took the ghost captives and headed towards the command room on the cliff.

After nightfall, darkness reigns in the air.

The noise of the day died away with the onset of night, and the valley fell silent, except for the sentry guards, and the rest of the sergeants had gone to sleep. Only on the banks of the winding stream, in the shadows of the trees swaying with the night breeze, there is sometimes a rustling sound.

In the brightly lit command room, after listening to Zuo Fan's report, the ghost captives frowned and stared at the unfolded combat map on the table in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Standing beside him were the two brothers Li Hao and Li Chai with solemn faces, and Zuo Fan, as well as Shenji who had fallen asleep at some point.

Nanban is not as good as the Howling Wind Plain, although it is also barren here, but the mountains are high and the water is dangerous, and there are many fierce beast souls in the mountains, and poisonous springs and miasma can be seen everywhere. Attacking rashly is tantamount to seeking death.

"Fight a battle at Chongshan Pass first to boost morale. After pondering for a long time, the ghost captives resolutely said: "Deputy General Left, you come to command the defenders of the pass to fight." ”。

"Li Hao, Li Chai, lead the new army allocated by the lord. After giving the order, the ghost captives turned to look at the patriarch of the fungus clan, who was lying on the chair and had fallen asleep, and shouted, "Patriarch!"

The thunderous shout suddenly woke Shen Ji up, and he immediately jumped up in fright, looked at them in panic and shouted, "Is there an enemy? Is it an enemy attack?" At the same time, cross your arms in front of your chest and make a defensive stance.

His nervous look made the ghosts laugh. but forgot for the time being that he was asleep in a meeting to punish sins.

"Hehe, not yet. The ghost captives smiled, put away his smile again, and said solemnly: "In the evening, didn't you say that your people had detected a large army of southern barbarians that was gathering in a mountain col fifteen miles outside the south of Guan?

"Yes, wait a minute. After speaking, he closed his eyes and concentrated on accepting the thoughts of his clansmen.

"They have come to the pass. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst with light: "In addition to a large number of snake bone soldiers, elephant soldiers, and mountain ghost soldiers in the army, there are also a lot of siege equipment. There are 50 nest cars and ladder trucks, and 100 catapults. The strength of the army is about 100,000, which is five times that of our army, and it seems that Du Ziren has made a bloody investment. ”。

The ghosts were slightly stunned when they heard this, but only the ghosts were not frightened, and he did not think for long, he waved his arm and said categorically: "Prepare to meet the enemy and use their death to revive their morale." ”。

Less than a moment after the military order was issued, all the lights in the pass were extinguished one by one. Chongshan Pass was completely shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see his fingers.

Half an hour later, the Southern Barbarian Ghost Army came to the south of the valley. As far as the eye could see, there was darkness in the valley.

The one-horned mountain ghosts led by them were only slightly stunned, and after glancing at each other in the dark, they pulled their legs forward.

"Maybe the enemy has been escaping lately. "That's what they think.

This was followed by a large number of elephant armies, and unlike the elephant armies in various parts of the underworld, Du Ziren's Southern Barbarian Elephant Army was composed entirely of saber-toothed elephants, much taller than ordinary elephants.

Their pair of slightly curved, nearly a foot long tusks are tied with a lot of iron nails, which greatly improves the combat ability of war elephants.

On the back of the war elephant, in the small square pavilion made of animal bones and wood, stood several human spirits and ghost soldiers armed with longbows or crossbows. The rider at the head was pulling the reins in his hand and driving the war elephant forward.

Shuttling among the war elephants are black-haired giant wolves. Two blood-red eyes, flashing with bloodthirsty and fierce light in the dark night.

On the back of the wolf are unkempt ghosts armed with scimitars. Every strand of hair on their heads stood on end like a needle, adding a bit of hideousness to them in the dark night.

On the left and right flanks, there are a large number of snake bone women tailing, and unlike the last attack, this time the snake bone women are also wearing armor.

And at the end of the line is a group of Hercules ghosts pulling siege equipment.

The enemy army did not ignite the fire, and even the Hercules ghosts behind did not beat the drums, let alone shout, but quietly entered the valley with the army in front, and cautiously advanced towards the north in the dark.

At the same time, in the valley in the distance, on the rope bridge between the two walls, born from the first wisp of evil qi in the underworld, so there is also a ghost captive with night eyes, who is concentrating, quietly watching the enemy army get closer and closer, and raising the corners of his mouth.

100 zhang, 90 zhang, 80 zhang...... Fifty zhang, forty-five zhang, the ghost captives looked straight to the south, and silently recited the distance of the enemy army in their hearts.

When the enemy vanguard was only thirty feet away from him, he slowly raised his arm, clenched the arrow in his hand, and pointed it straight to the sky in the night.

When the enemy army advanced another ten feet, the ghost captive did not hesitate to pull the arrow.

"Whoosh!" was a long direction, and a fireball rose into the air with a skyrocket.

The enemy soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they all raised their heads and watched the fireballs get higher and higher, until they rose to a certain height and exploded, and suddenly heard a hissing sound from the valley.

One spark after another, flickering in the darkness.

Without waiting for the enemy to be stunned, a loud bang continued to come from all directions.

Hundreds of shells shot at the ground, cutting through the air and grinding into a little fire, arcing through the darkness before landing on the enemy's flanks.

In view of the fact that the poisonous snake attack of the snake bone woman could not be prevented, the ghost captives adopted the strategy of hitting the snake bone woman first.

As soon as the hundreds of shells hit the ground, they exploded. The earth and rocks were overturned, and in the large flames brought by the explosion, purple thunder and lightning burst out, like a dragon flying snake, shooting out in all directions.

It was Lai Yueqi who made the Heavenly Thunder Cannon according to the skills of the ancient gods.

Under the splash of shrapnel with fire, the valley was darkened by the flickering of purple thunder, and the terrible screams continued to sound, piercing the silence under the night sky.

The defenders on the pass, with the help of the flames brought up by the artillery, looked into the valley, and their morale was greatly boosted!

In just one round of shelling, more than half of the enemy's snake bones had already been killed and wounded. was either blown up on the spot and bruised all over his body, or was struck by purple thunder and lightning, and ended up either dead or injured.
