The night wind blew through the open space in the courtyard outside the lobby, whistling with a sense of slaughter.

The temperature in the lobby dropped a few points unconsciously, and there was a slight chill of the night.

Lu Wu was a little unsure of life and death, he didn't realize how dangerous his inflated ambition was.

On the contrary, I felt that Ying Zhao's serious and serious look was a little ridiculous.

Ying Zhao saw the blank and puzzled look on Lu Wu's face, and he was even more anxious. Ying Zhao looked at Lu Wu's eyes, and an anxious look also appeared.

He didn't want Lu Wu to make a wrong choice, step into the abyss, or die without a body, so he didn't care whether he would offend Lu Wu because of this, and hurriedly came again: "Lu Wu, you and I have known my eldest brother for more than ten years. Don't you know where the big brother's scales are?"

As he spoke, Ying Zhao's mind flashed over the ghosts who had been punished by Xiao Shizhu. From the Tuqi to the Water Tiger clan outside Shizhu City, to the disobedient generals from all over the Nanban, and the Du Ziren clan, none of Xiao Shizhu's opponents got any end of life.

Thinking of this, Ying Zhao didn't want it even more, Lu Wu was Xiao Shizhu's next opponent.

When Lu Wu heard this, he put away his confusion and incomprehension, and after thinking about it seriously in a deep groan, he frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "I know, I didn't touch his scales in this matter." Isn't Xiao Fulei also his child?".

Ying Zhao was so anxious that he let out a hissing sound of inhalation, and at the same time raised his hand to the armrests of the tables and chairs at hand, and said urgently: "This has nothing to do with whether it is his child or not, the key is that this is his family matter." Just like who he was willing to marry back then, it was up to him to decide, and he was not allowed to interfere. What you see is the crown prince's country, but in our eldest brother, this matter is his own family matter, and it has nothing to do with the country. Whoever meddles too much is to control and control him, isn't this his reverse?".

Ying Zhao said this, Lu Wu was still a little dead on this matter, and after thinking about it, he also said: "He is the lord, and the prince is his future heir." ”。

"If you say that, you're going to die. Ying Zhao snorted angrily, pulled down his face, and said unceremoniously: "What do you mean later." The eldest brother is still alive and well, what do you want to do later. ”。

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Lu Wu to refute, Ying Zhao refused again: "Anyway, I can't participate in this matter, I suggest that you don't stir it up, so as not to really anger the eldest brother." ”。

Having said that, Ying Zhao didn't know what to say anymore.

As for Lu Wu, naturally he no longer forced the heroic move, and after chatting so far, the two brothers were a little embarrassed because of their disagreement, so they didn't continue to say anything.

But Lu Wu still didn't plan to give up, and he wanted to continue to persuade Xiao Shizhu in the future.

In this matter, Lu Wu is really confused.

After a moment of silence, Ying Zhao got up, jumped off the chair, saluted Lu Wu, and said, "After a tiring journey today, I will go to the post house to rest first." Another day, another day, I will personally visit your house. ”。

After speaking, Ying Zhao turned around and left.

Not long after he went out, the more he thought about it, the more angry Lu Wu became, so he directly picked up the teacup with a blushing face and slammed it on the ground.

Out of the heroic move of the Heavenly Palace Ghost Ya, he saw a little ghost walking towards him, it was Qinglan, who had been by Xiao Shizhu's side in the past.

"Great. Qing Lan greeted him with a smile, and after saluting, she said without waiting for Ying Zhao to return the salute: "You will know when you enter the city, let me pick you up and go to the hunting ground." ”。

Ying Zhao only now knew that Xiao Shizhu went out of the city to the hunting ground.

"Okay. Ying Zhao didn't shirk it, and said bluntly: "I'll go to the hunting ground with you now." ”。

With that, Ying Zhao followed Qing Lan and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

On the Heavenly Palace Ghost Hall behind them, the more Lu Wu thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. It is precisely because even Yingzhao, a good brother who has been friends for 10,000 years, does not support him in this matter that Lu Wu's obsession is even heavier.

His eyes widened angrily, staring at the spilled tea stains and broken teacups on the ground, and roared, "Someone!"

After the voice reached the lobby, after a while, a ghost official walked in, glanced at the broken cup on the ground, stood in front of Lu Wu without saying a word, and bowed slightly.

"Contact all of us, all of them have written to me, warning the lord that the prince is the business of the country, and persuading him to make the prince of Hades as soon as possible. Lu Wu gritted his teeth, blew his beard, and gave such an order in a deep voice......

Dongyingzhou, Shengyi Valley.

After nightfall, the valley is still bathed in wind and rain.

A drizzle of rain washed away the dirt on the hillside, taking away the ghostly blood that had been dipped into the soil during the day.

The thick dark clouds in the air were still low, as if they would hit the valley heavily in the next second.

In the night wind, the north mouth of the valley is still under siege by the coalition forces.

Xuanmu used a horse to block the road at the mouth of the valley, and strictly blocked the road for the infantry of the Nine Hidden Kingdom on the mountain to descend from the north entrance.

At the same time, the surrounding trees were felled, and arrow towers were erected in the wind and rain, which stood in various places outside the valley mouth, covering each other to serve as a vigilance.

The coalition forces also set up a camp outside the valley mouth, and looked for water sources everywhere, and were ready to take root and fight a protracted battle with the army of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms.

It's just that since the attack at noon was thwarted, the coalition forces have not launched any offensive so far.

They stopped outside the mouth of the valley, and when the flag died down, they just set up a defensive position and confronted the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the mountain.

In the battle at noon that day, the coalition army led by Xuanmu, the vanguard army of 50,000 was either killed or wounded nine times out of ten. In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of ghost soldiers were killed and wounded, which made the coalition forces stationed outside Xuanmu and Taniguchi unforgettable.

In this battle of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there were only more than 300 casualties. The battle loss ratio was so high that the coalition forces were already frightened and had no determination to attack again.

On the mountain, after the spring cold of this battle, I have played more self-confidence and courage.

After resting for a long time, it was already dark after getting up, and after eating something, she gathered her generals and held a military meeting in a command post made of a hole in the ground in the mountains.

At this time, in the depths of this cavern, the largest cave was illuminated by several luminous beads.

Stout wooden pillars support the vaults excavated above. On the rock wall of the cave, which is not smooth, hangs a map of the area within a radius of hundreds of miles near the Shengyi Valley.

In the middle, on a large large table formed by several long cases, a large map was also spread, which was still a map of the area of the Shengyi Valley.

On a detailed map, the mountains and rivers, roads, towns and villages near the Shengyi Valley can also be seen at a glance on the map.

Chunhan, who was standing at the table, set his eyes on the map on the table, between the mountains and rivers in the north entrance area of the Shengyi Valley.

And the people standing around Chunhan are all the generals and generals under her now.

Among them, the closest to her Chunhan is her current lieutenant.

At this time, the slender bamboo pole in the hand of the deputy general stretched out to the map on the table, and gently touched the Qinglonghai not far west of the Shengyi Valley on the map, and said to Chunhan: "General, the latest information is that the sea is now led by the Gongyuan General of the Gonggong Shui Tribe, and the Gu Luo of the Sanmiao Tribe, who are responsible for the routes in the coastal areas, as well as in cooperation with our long-range attacks, and the support at sea can be completely guaranteed. Once we call for air support with the fungus men, their mine-carrying vehicles and air cavalry will be able to reach the valley in a quarter of an hour. ”。

Chun Han picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, continued to look at the map in front of him, nodded, and said: "Those two are among our country's sailors, one of the most famous and good generals, with them as our backing at sea, I am still relieved." ”。

"Not only did they launch long-range attacks from the sea to help us repel the enemy, but they were also responsible for airlifting our supplies, including firearms and shells, as well as food and medicine. At this time, Chunhan's quartermaster, who was in charge of logistics, took over and reported to her: "In order to ensure that we can ensure that the supplies are sufficient." ”。

When the quartermaster said this, he also told Chun Han that the king of Yama, who was sitting on Dushuo Mountain, had completed all his subordinates, which was equivalent to giving Chun Han a reassurance.

"Judging from the current situation, the enemy is temporarily broken by us today. Chunhan, who said well, didn't think about anything else, just stared at the map in front of him and frowned slightly, his focused gaze wandered around the map, and gradually came to the north entrance of the Shengyi Valley to settle down.

"But I'm afraid it's temporary, soon the enemy will continue to attack, think about it, will they continue to attack from the north entrance?" Chun Han asked slowly, staring at the landscape pattern on the map.

The other generals also looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Some of them are old and young, but they are not new recruits who have just entered the battlefield today, and they all have some combat experience.

Today's coalition attack, they all saw it. Now, these generals can see that the noon attack seems ferocious, but in fact it is a temptation.

This kind of temptation was manifested in the frustration of the attack, and Xuanmu immediately withdrew his troops.

Instead of continuous strong attacks, in order to achieve the goal of fighting for every inch of land with the Jiuyou National Army in the Shengyi Valley.

Xuanmu has reservations.

The war had just begun, and Xuanmu did not blindly and arrogantly attack again and again, but showed his sanity. This also made the local generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, from Chun Han to the young generals below, also feel a little pressured.

Chunhan and several other ghost generals all found that although Xuanmu's weapons were backward, this ghost was not easy to deal with.

"He'll continue to test us. After a long time, Deputy General Chunhan, who had been thinking for a long time in silence, slowly spoke and analyzed: "In today's battle, the enemy generals under the mountain are afraid that they have already figured out how many garrisons we have on the mountain. Although he certainly does not know exactly how many troops we have, it is not difficult to estimate an approximate number. In such a situation, if I were him, I would have thought that it would be impossible for such a small number of troops to hold such a long valley in all aspects. There will always be a place where our defence will be weak. Only after countless attempts to finally discover this weak point, and then the army presses the realm and blindly attacks, can we tear through our defense line. ”。

Standing in the position of the enemy general, the analysis of empathy is extremely reasonable, not only did he immediately get the nod of approval from Chunhan and other generals, but also Xuanmu under the mountain also thought so.

However, after Chunhan's deputy general analyzed it like this, it gave the ghost generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom present an invisible pressure.

This is tantamount to saying that in the days to come, they, the garrisons on the mountain, will become trapped beasts, and they will have to deal with the enemy troops below the mountain at any time, launching endless attacks in any direction at any time and place.

Moreover, the garrison in the mountains, because it is impossible to predict when the enemy will attack, must always tense every nerve in the body, be ready for battle, and maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.

The air in the command post was frozen and the atmosphere was heavy.

The invisible pressure surged in, causing the generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom here to fall silent.

But the silence was not their fear and horror, but the pressure prompted them to think desperately, thinking about how to deal with the enemy's temptation.

This is also one of the reasons why the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is terrifying.

After a long time, Chun Han had already looked at all the places in the Shengyi Valley on the map, and not far from his side, the quartermaster asked again and again: "When we came, how many poisonous fire tiger squatting cannons did the whole army bring? How many new five thunder god machines are there? And how many new thunderbolt guns are there?"

The quartermaster was a wild ghost standing with a beard, scrawny and skinny, who was not wearing armor, but only an official robe made of trousers.

After hearing this, he squinted slightly and recalled, then opened his eyes again, raised his head, and met Chun Han's inquiring gaze: "The Poisonous Fire Tiger squatting cannon is only three hundred and sixty, and there are seven hundred and fifty skilled artillerymen. In the latest style, there are many five Thor machines that can shoot 100 guns at a time, and there are 550. In the new style of Thunderbolt, there are also three hundred. ”。

Chun Han got the answer he wanted, looked down at the map again, and said thoughtfully: "We can't let the enemy's temptation succeed, no matter how they attack the valley we hold next, we must create a situation for the enemy that we are not weak, and tell them with facts that our defense line is not weak." ”。

The face was firm, and the words he spoke strongly gave the ghosts present more faith and courage, and also boosted their fighting spirit.

They put their firm eyes on Chun Han's body, and while focusing seriously, they quietly listened to Chun Han and talked about their next steps.

"We might as well deploy these weapons, which are effective at short and medium distances, and capable of mass destruction of the enemy, to the outer sides of the valley and defend them as they please. Chun Han, who picked up his teacup, took another sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Let these firearms form a powerful network of firepower, staggered all over the outer side of the valley. Then cooperate with the cold gunners of each small banner to shoot and kill secretly, so that a strong defensive front is formed on the outside first, so that the enemy's temptation has no beginning and end. ”。

The other generals did not rush to express their stance because of Chunhan's words. It's all calm and calm, thinking about it.

In this way, Chunhan gave up the defense on the inner side of the valley and focused on the defense on the outer side. After all, the enemy is outside the valley, and no matter how you attack, you can only start from the outside and attack inward.

It does seem flawless, but there is a small problem.

The first to think of this problem was Chunhan's lieutenant.

She immediately frowned and asked Chun Han, "This is equivalent to giving up the defense in the valley, what if the enemy attacks from the valley?"

Chun Han had already had a plan and strategy, and she was not stable at the moment, so she immediately said: "I don't want to completely give up the defense in the valley, but use another method." We can take advantage of the night to send sappers in the valley to lay traps with earth-shaking thunder and pomegranate thunder. It is also possible to dig traps and walk on the path in the valley. At the same time, the valley is not only long and narrow, but also has many steep cliffs, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The distance between the two mountains is not large, and it is not necessary to place too many soldiers on both sides to form a dense network of intersecting firepower, and as long as the enemy enters the valley to test our defensive line, he can rely on a small number of troops and traps to inflict very much damage on them. ”。

In this way, it is also a perfect solution to the defense inside the valley because of the weakness of the defense outside the valley.
