Under the mud in Manjiang City, visible tearing cracks can be seen in many places. These cracks spread out on the ground of Manjiang City like a huge spider web.

The improvised rescue team is still rummaging through the rubble in the rain to find survivors. But the people of the city had never experienced the earth's movement, and when the earth moved, many of them rested and slept in their houses.

If it weren't for the fact that the earth movement did not last long, and the air cavalry of the Xudu army attacked before, the gunfire of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was already a masterpiece, waking up many sleeping ghost people, making them scramble out of the house to see the excitement, then the loss caused by the earth movement would be even heavier.

Xiao Shizhu pushed away his subordinates who held the umbrella above their heads, and walked slowly in the rain and mist, heading towards the north of the city, which had the most ground movements and was the most severely affected. The cracks in the roads and walls, the broken stones and broken wood on the roadsides and roads, and the ruins of the walls, were shocking to the sight of his soul, who had lived and died for most of his life. What worries him even more is that those collapsed houses can always make him feel sad, and he can't help but think of the earth in Yuque City.

The ghosts, who were constantly blurred with flesh and blood, were dug out of the rubble. Some were even dying when they were dug up, and it didn't take long for the rain and fog to stop breathing and gradually turn into powder.

Amidst the wailing and wailing, Xiao Shizhu stood behind the gate of the North City. Then he turned around slowly, staring at the mess in the city in front of him, and the five fingers of his right hand couldn't help but tremble.

The rain falling from the sky turned into a slow stream of water on his cheeks, sliding down the corners of his eyes, nose sockets, and face.

After seeing this, no ghost could tell whether the water droplets that slipped from Xiao Shizhu's cheeks were rain or tears.

Maybe it's both, that's why Xiao Shizhu didn't use an umbrella, and he didn't have the luck to block the rain, but just let the cold rain hit him. Soaking his hair and robe, his cheeks and features were also wet.

When he was on earth, he had only seen the earth shake on the news, and he still has vivid memories of the devastation and misery in the ruins after the disaster in those news pictures and videos. I didn't even dream that after he came to the underworld to be a ghost, he would actually experience two earth movements. Moreover, these two earth movements were not natural disasters, but man-made disasters, or the wrath of God.

Under the constant swaying wind and rain, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but think of the human nerves: when people were not satisfied with Jehovah, Jehovah launched a great flood to wipe out mankind. At that time, Xiao Shizhu also laughed, this god is a small instrument. Now it seems that the Emperor of Xudu, in his rage, was much more ferocious and cruel than Jehovah.

And he was unharmed in these two ground movements, but many innocent ghosts died tragically in the ground movements.

This made Xiao Shizhu difficult to let go of when he was sad and angry, and his heart was filled with heavy guilt, making every breath he took a little difficult. All of this is because of him, maybe he really shouldn't oppose the Northern Yin Dynasty. In this way, although these ghost people in Manjiang City have a difficult life, at least they will not have these unwarranted disasters.

"My lord, the mother of the country told you not to have a knot. At this moment, the fungus man Shenji rushed over from behind him, jumped on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder and sat down, turned his head to look at the faint shame on Xiao Shizhu's face, and comforted: "The mother of the country expected that you would feel uncomfortable and guilty about this, so let me convey to you, if you don't rebel, then there will be more ghost people, living in dire straits." The horror and brutality of Emperor Xudu were fiercer than natural disasters or earth movements. ”。

These words really didn't make up by Shen Ji himself, and he didn't dare to make them up if he was given ten dares. But after the ghost mother finished talking to Hu Hui, she suddenly remembered the matter, and hurriedly asked the Chaozhong fungus people to send a message to Shenji.

The only one who knows what Xiao Shizhu thinks is the ghost mother, maybe this is called having a heart. I knew that not long after the earth movement happened, the ghost mother thousands of miles away expected that Xiao Shizhu would definitely feel ashamed after the disaster.

And she also knew how to comfort Xiao Shizhu.

"Hmm. The shame on Xiao Shizhu's face slowly faded a little. But there was still a faint sense of loss and shame, hanging between his facial features.

"Yes, my lord. At this moment, the dozen or so shirtless ghost soldiers guarding the gate behind Mu Qingming surrounded them, holding swords and guns, and they did not look at Xiao Shizhu reproachfully, but grateful.

They were the ghost soldiers composed of the strong ghost people in the city, and they had heard the words of the fungus god just now.

The human soul man at the head took a step forward, stepped on the mud on the ground and stood beside Xiao Shizhu, and said without hesitation: "It was you who gave us food when the King of Xiazhou abandoned us. It is also you who have banned the ghost slave trading market, so that we and our children and grandchildren will no longer be sold like cattle, horses and sheep by other ghosts. ”。

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately agreed by the other ghost soldiers.

"It's not your fault that this earth is moving, as long as the brutal rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty is overthrown, we are willing to follow you to the soup anytime and anywhere. A moment later, the soul of the person who had spoken first before was excited and raised his arms.

Xiao Shizhu turned around, looked around at their faces, and after seeing the firmness between his facial features, he finally put away his shame and guilt, and after casting a grateful glance at those souls, he turned his head to Shen Ji and said, "Pass the order and increase the rescue efforts." You can't give up a ghost. ”。

After speaking, he said a few words of gratitude to the ghost soldiers who comforted him, and then walked towards the city gate tower with the god who had completed the order.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless, Xiao Shizhu thought that since this is the case, it is better to inspect the city defense and fortifications. Prepare for a war that could break out at any time after dawn.

After climbing the city wall and turning around, he returned to the city gate tower on the north gate and stood still.

I don't know if it's lucky, because the enemy army sprinkled no ground movement charm is in the city, and basically concentrated in the north city, there is no large-scale damage to the four city walls, but the wall occasionally sees small cracks in the foundation, and the tower tower has many tiles broken and falling, and the wall is cracked.

All fortifications are still in existence and still available.

In the wind and rain, the construction team composed of mason craftsmen has been leading thousands of ghost people to give priority to repairing the cracks in the city wall, and reinforcing the walls, turrets, and city towers.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom was able to compete with Emperor Xudu several times without falling behind, not only because Emperor Xudu's Northern Yin Dynasty was too brutal and lost the hearts of the people. It is also because they not only have advanced firearms, but also soldiers, generals and officials who are extremely efficient.

In comparison, the other rebellious Hades Ghost Kingdoms were not as good as the Nine Ghost Kingdoms in this regard. In these ghost countries, there are very few ghosts who can do things, so it is difficult to support them alone, and they will eventually be suppressed by the Northern Yin Dynasty, which has a cruel tyranny, but under the deterrence of this tyranny, most of the officials at the top and bottom do things and dare not be unsafe, serious and fast.

But the Nine Shadows Country is different, the upper and lower officials of the Nine Shadows Country are all stable and fast, and there are few procrastinations, so they can compete with the Xudu Army many times.

Xiao Shizhu stood in front of the city gate building again, looking out of the city by the railing. I saw that in the garrison of the Xudu Army in the distance outside the city, there were still flames rising in the wind and rain, and the heat wave flames brought by the explosion rose one after another in the rain, rolling up into the sky with thick gunpowder smoke.

Xiao Shizhu just looked at it, and knew that the flames between heaven and earth that reflected the red in the military camp of the Xudu Army were caused by the flying troops he had just sent out.

The sudden rainstorm at night could not only serve as a cover for his flying troops, but also invalidate the firecrackers of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

From the enemy guns picked up from the battlefield during the day, it is not difficult to see that although the artillery technology of the Northern Yin Dynasty has made great progress, the technology of the guns has not improved so far. If any of the guns is exposed to the rain screen, the barrel will not be able to fire the guns.

And from the sound of the explosion, there was a banging sound, and it was 100% the fire gun in the hands of the air cavalry and the flying army from the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Xiao Shizhu took the clairvoyant mirror handed by his subordinates, opened it and raised it, looking through the lens to the enemy camp.

In the enemy camp, the fence and horses were rejected, and the tents were on fire, and the artillery positions and shell placement points were also mostly attacked by the air cavalry led by Zuo Fan.

In the rain curtain, there was chaos in the camp of the Chinese army of the Xudu Army, and in the panic, the enemy troops were often scattered and rushed, like headless flies, running aimlessly between the explosions, flames, heat waves, and thick smoke.

And in the rain curtain, there are only a few who raise their bows and crossbows to fight back against the Nine Shadows Army in the air.

It's not that the quality of the Xudu Army is poor, but they didn't expect that the Jiuyou Army, which had just experienced the earth's turmoil, immediately carried out a retaliatory action, and the speed made every Xudu Army and their commander cloudy, and they all smacked their tongues and moved.

Xiao Shizhu looked at the clairvoyant mirror for a while, and slowly put away the clairvoyant. He knew that with only a small number of air cavalry and flying troops in the city, it was already the limit to be able to wipe out the enemy's twenty ships and create a chaos in the enemy's Chinese camp, causing tens of thousands of military casualties.

He never thought that with a total of more than 10,000 air cavalry and flying troops, he would rely on a night attack to bring a devastating blow to the Xudu army outside the city.

He just wanted to teach the enemy a lesson, burn some of their food and artillery, and then blow up some of the soldiers of the Xudu army.

But the damage caused by the earth movement made Xiao Shizhu angry, and he didn't want to let the Xudu army sleep peacefully tonight. He had to do something more, retaliate by increasing the casualties of the Xudu army, and at the same time inform the enemy that he and his soldiers and civilians are not to be messed with!

But the city is still rescuing, the troops are insufficient, and his Xiancha and Flying Thunder Cars are not in Manjiang City, and launching another air attack will only make his current adjustable flying troops exhausted, once the Yudu army comes to attack the city again at dawn, his flying troops do not have the physical strength and energy to deal with the opponent's air cavalry, which is very unfavorable to him.

What should be done?

Xiao Shizhu paced back and forth a few laps in front of the city gate building, under the eaves of the wide city tower, and then stood in front of Shen Ji again, and ordered: "Let Yuhua and Zuo Fan hurry up and lead the flying troops back." ”。

Hearing this, Shen Ji closed his eyes, concentrated his energy, and conveyed Xiao Shizhu's order to the fungus people who followed Yuhua and Zuo Fan to the night attack. When everything was done, he opened his eyes, and saw Xiao Shizhu groaning again by the light of the lantern that had been hung on the tower of the city gate and lit for the craftsmen who repaired the city gate.

Although it has not been a day or two since Shen Ji followed Xiao Shizhu, he still can't guess what Xiao Shizhu is thinking about every time he thinks?

After waiting quietly for a long time, Shen Ji saw Xiao Shizhu slowly turn around and look out of the city again. However, this time, Xiao Shizhu's eyes did not fall directly opposite the north gate, but to the east.

Judging from the military report, the place where he could see was the station of the black-toothed ghost soldiers. In order to tie up with the Northern Yin Dynasty, the Black Tooth King sent 600,000 Black Tooth ghost soldiers to accompany the Xudu Army in this military operation.

"Tell the goddess that she can act. After another moment, Xiao Shizhu said slowly: "Immediately attack the black-toothed ghost soldier camp at night." ”。
