[538] Heavy losses

The torrential rain raged between heaven and earth. Under the howling wind, the city of the river was soon filled with mud and puddles.

In the dark clouds, silver lightning danced like a long snake, flickering behind the dark clouds. Under the flickering silver light, the rain that came as soon as it was said to have come turned the sky and the earth into a white expanse in an instant.

This is the rainstorm that came soon, and it was really not the rain that the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom reacted quickly and immediately summoned the souls of the Gonggong clan in the army in an instant. However, in the four seasons of Dongyizhou, there are frequent heavy rains every day, and the amount of precipitation is not small due to the natural characteristics.

Whether it was Xiao Shizhu or the cloudy sky in the distance outside the city, or the Emperor Xudu who was thousands of miles away, he didn't expect this sudden heavy rain to come so timely before the rainstorm came.

In the mud on the ground in the city, those soaked earth talismans clung to the mud on the ground, allowing the dense raindrops to whip one after another. The runes clung away, and the earth moved away.

Xiao Shizhu, who was standing in the rain, raised his hand to wipe the rain that slipped on his face, took a step forward and looked up at the sky constantly falling, like thousands of silver raindrops standing between heaven and earth, and continued to mutter: "God help me, God really help me." ”。

If it weren't for this heavy rain, the entire city would have been reduced to ruins in the ground movement, and the fortifications would have been reduced to nothingness. And many of the soldiers and civilians in the city must have been buried alive in this night.

And at dawn, the surviving soldiers and civilians will face the huge chariots of the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the impact of the powerful cavalry of the elephant army on the plain with their flesh and blood.

But now, the sky is raining in time, and all the problems have been solved. The earth movement talisman is a talisman that is afraid of water, and once it is stained with water, it is useless. The ground movement subsided with the failure of the rune seal, and the air cavalry of the Xudu Army who cast the rune seal had also left, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom could be regarded as saving the day.

"O king, the earth has ceased to move in all parts of the city. Shenji, who hurriedly rushed to Xiao Shizhu's side, stood at Xiao Shizhu's feet with a smirk on his face that was born from the joy of escaping death, and reported the good news from all over the city.

For the fungus people, ground movement is their biggest natural disaster. Once encountered, if the fungus people burrow out of the ground, they will not be able to escape the same creatures as other creatures in the earthquake area, and may be crushed to death by the collapsed building. And if you hide in the ground, you will be shocked to death by the continuous shaking of the earth.

That's why the earth just stopped, and the mushrooms who followed Xiao Shizhu were the most elated of all the ghosts in Manjiang City, and Shenji was no exception.

Xiao Shizhu didn't care about the joy of being reborn after the Divine Tribulation, but slowly lowered his head and stared into the distance in front of him.

The rain was still falling, and the wind blew the silky raindrops between the sky and the earth. The sky lanterns floating in the sky are lit with fierce fire oil. Considering the rainy situation in Dongyizhou, Xiao Shizhu did not paste rice paper on most of the small and large frames at the bottom of the sky lanterns, but animal skins.

Therefore, no matter how strong the wind and rain were, it could not extinguish all the sky lanterns in the sky.

The sky above the city is still brightly lit.

"Report casualties. Xiao Shizhu put the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand, hung it on his waist, and asked Shen Ji slowly.

"No. In the wind and rain, Shen Ji responded, and intently accepted the news of divine consciousness from all over the city. After a long time, Shen Ji, who opened his eyes again, said to Xiao Shizhu: "The city wall is still intact, but many houses have collapsed in various parts of the city, and the roads have been damaged a lot, and the north of the city has been the most damaged. ”。

After a pause, a trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of the fungus man: "The casualties of the soldiers and civilians have reached more than two thousand at this time, and there are more than three hundred ghosts buried in the ruins. General Ji Yan has launched a rescue, and General Zuo Fan is reorganizing the city defenses. ”。

As soon as he had said that, he heard a louder noise in the distance than the constant thunder in the air. Xiao Shizhu and Shen Ji looked towards the north where a loud noise was heard, and saw a fire in the distance outside the city, and explosions of smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The loud roar continued, Xiao Shizhu watched the scorching wind whirling in the distance outside the city, and squinted at the place where the fire swelled, he knew that it was the air cavalry and the flying army led by Yuhua, and made a detour to the rear of the middle army of the Xudu army.

This night raid set off before the earth moved. Xiao Shizhu's scouts had already returned, and there were twenty Guanyuecha ships in the rear of the Xudu army. Therefore, Xiao Shizhu temporarily changed the target of the night attack, and it was no longer the Chinese army camp of the Xudu Army, but these twenty ships through the moon.

Therefore, the flying troops led by Yuhua made a detour to the rear of the Chinese army of the Xudu Army, and attacked the Guanyue Chacha of those who were in the rear of the army of the Xudu Army.

In the continuous loud noise, Xiao Shizhu knew that it was Yuhua who had succeeded them.

"You respect me a foot, and I pay you back. After Xiao Shizhu said to himself, he ordered Shenji: "Order the remaining air cavalry and flying troops in the city to carry incendiary canisters to attack; ”......

Thousands of miles away from Manjiang City, there is the largest canyon in the underworld, which is in the direction of northwest to southeast, and is called Wenyuan Valley.

The reason why it is said to be the largest canyon in the underworld is not because it is bottomless, but because it is often thousands of miles, and the narrowest place is also tens of miles wide.

The red rock walls on both sides of the valley are layered on top of each other, and the cliffs are majestic and magical, and there is no grass, but in the valley there are streams all over the place, and the eyes are full of greenery. The stalactites of different forms on both sides of the river are all over the place, with strange shapes, and the stones are dripping, exuding a primitive and simple atmosphere. And around the stream at the bottom of the valley, you can see the lush green Fusang trees everywhere.

There are often groups of four-eared gibbon monkeys on the right, and look like macaques, with patterns on their arms, and their tails are similar to those of leopards. The sound of an ape is wild.

Just because the valley is deep, the bottom of the valley rarely sees sunlight all year round, and it can't help but be a little gloomy. And the country of the corpse is in this valley.

During the reign of the corpse, at the edge of the valley top in the north and south of the canyon, huge bricks and stones were used as materials to build a winding Great Wall along the canyon trend. The walls are deep and the beacons are thousands of miles apart.

The amount of work was so large that it took hundreds of years for the corpse to be completed.

However, on the Great Wall of the Corpse Country, there is a beacon tower every other mile, the shape is very strange, and it is a hexagonal nine-story building with a height of 100 feet, which is extremely magnificent.

The barracks ballista, retort planes and weapons depot in the beacon tower are all available. A beacon tower is a small fortified fortress, with countless arrow holes and gun holes in its six walls, which can make the enemy lose his armor and armor.

It is precisely because of these solid fortifications that the country of the corpse has stood in the underworld for thousands of years without losing the country. In the early days of the Northern Yin Dynasty, the armies of the Black Tooth Kingdom and the Xiazhou Kingdom were under these fortifications, and they stopped.

The war lasted for several years, and the foreign enemy was never able to penetrate the Wenyuan Valley. Knowing that Haobi's corpse was killed by Xiao Shizhu's bombardment, his youngest son hoped to inherit the throne. avenged his father, took the initiative to curry favor with the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Xudu Army, and let them go south from Wenyuan Valley, so that the ghost army other than the Corpse Soul Army entered Wenyuan Valley.

At night, the wind and rain are even denser. The raindrops that hit the beacon tower on the Great Wall at the edge of Wenyuan Valley broke the silence of the night.

Not more than five feet tall, and the ghost age was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, he slowly climbed to the beacon tower facing the north of Mingfeng Valley.

With a long body and a long body, the skin on his body is dead and gray, and the whole ghost looks like a weak patient. When he reached the top of the beacon, he immediately came to the south window, and without hesitation, pushed open the closed window.

The window was opened, and a strong wind came in front of him, pouring into the beacon tower, blowing the robes on his body, and even the silk veil covering his knees swayed.

Extravagant eyes looked out the window in the distance, immersed in the rain and fog faintly visible in the valley of the wind, a strange blood-colored red light flashed in the black eyes.

"It's late at night, my lord, it's time for you to rest. The clear space with his hands folded walked up, stood beside Extravagant Wang, and said slowly.

Speaking of luxury, hoping to inherit the throne of the Corpse Soul King is all with the help of the Clear Void. When the corpse died, dozens of his sons and daughters refused to give in to each other, and they were all busy wooing the ministers and the army to compete for the throne of the corpse soul king.

Xiao Shizhu bombarded the corpse, so that the plan of the corpse's internal strife almost succeeded. Fortunately, the status of the net space in the country is not low, the popularity is good, and he still maintains his sanity, so he strongly supports extravagant hope, which allowed extravagant hope to quickly inherit the throne and quell the civil strife caused by this battle for the throne.

Facts have proved that the clearance not only does things vigorously and resolutely, but also has a unique vision for ghosts. Although the extravagant hope is not much bigger than Xiao Lingling, it is also very powerful.

After sitting on the throne, while strengthening the border defenses, he grasped the need for the Emperor of Xudu to stabilize the hearts of the people of the Northern Yin Dynasty among the ghost people, and negotiated peace with the active Xudu army. At the same time, he took the initiative to offer to recruit an like the Northern Yin Dynasty, and served the Xudu Army in Dongyi Continent unconditionally.

Immediately, the Corpse Country was no longer a thorn in the eye and flesh of the Emperor Xudu, and the spearhead of the Xudu Army was immediately pointed at the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Not only did the country survive, but it also defused the catastrophe of annihilation.

As expected by extravagant hope, in order to set an example for the kings of the underworld and the ghost kingdom in Dongyizhou, the Emperor Xudu retained the Bi Corpse Country that took the initiative to recruit an and return to the Northern Yin Dynasty, and also personally sealed the throne of the Corpse Soul King.

The country of corpses, which was already dying, got a mouthful of soul rejuvenation soup, so that he could recuperate.

"Master Clearance. Staring intently ahead, a look of awe flashed on his face, and then he regained his composure, continued to look into the distance in the rainy night, and said slowly: "Is there any information about the war in the south?"

He did this, endured humiliation and burdens, and even overthrew the national policy formulated in front of his father, and wagged his tail and begged for mercy from one of his father's former enemies, the Xudu Army and the Black Tooth State, for one purpose - to destroy Xiao Shizhu by the hands of the Xudu Army.

Extravagant hope is much smarter than extravagant corpses, he knows that it is difficult to compete with the Nine Shadows Kingdom on his own, and he also knows what it means to enjoy the shade under the big tree. In order to avenge his father's death, he could sacrifice everything.

Even Xiao Shizhu didn't think of this, he killed the powerful enemy of the corpse, but in exchange for an even more despicable opponent.

I don't know if Xiao Shizhu will laugh or cry when he learns about this, but with his personality, he will probably find it even more exciting and interesting.

In the evening, the scout sent a battle report, saying that the corpses were all over the field outside Manjiang City, and the Junzi Harbor was also under fire, presumably Xiao Shizhu had suffered heavy losses this time. Jingkong smiled faintly, and returned with his hands folded: "Especially Manjiang City, facing millions of troops, Xiao Shizhu will shed his skin if he doesn't die this time." ”。

In the tone, there was a bit of schadenfreude.
