The door of the Heavenly Temple in the Northern Yin Dynasty slowly closed after Emperor Xudu gently clapped his hands.

There was no cold wind howling in the main hall, and hot air rose from the exquisite and gorgeous stoves, diffusing in all directions. The coldness above the main hall slowly dispelled and warmed up.

"Your Majesty. Just when Gong Mingyi was still kneeling on the ground and pondering, there was a demon soul with a rabbit head and a snake body in the main hall, and suddenly said to the Emperor Xudu: "Please give a seat to Lord Gong Mingyi; If you kneel on the ground for a long time, you must be unbearable. ”。

When Emperor Xudu heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he said: "What Banbi said is to give a seat." ”。

When the palace slave waiting beside him heard this, he answered and went to the side hall.

After a while, he took a soft cushion and placed it in the farthest place from the right front of Emperor Xudu, and asked Gong Mingyi to sit down.

After thanking Emperor Xudu, Gong Mingyi, who sat down, cast a grateful look at the demon soul who had spoken for him before, with a three-foot-long white scale around his neck.

"Look at the tea. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xudu gave another order to the palace slave.

The palace slave received the order, turned around and went to the side hall again, and went to make tea for Gong Mingyi.

"Actually, the ghost skills of the ghost soldiers of the Nine Ghost Kingdoms are not very powerful, and there are not a few ghost generals with unfathomable ghost skills. Even many soldiers can't successfully perform decent magic tricks. Gong Mingyi, who had been pondering for a long time, always lowered his head slightly under the soft light of the lights and luminous pearls, and said slowly thoughtfully: "More soldiers, there is no training in the magic of gods and ghosts, and there are countless ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who don't know anything about magic and ghosts. ”。

Gong Mingyi spoke very slowly, and his voice was not loud, so he could only ensure that the Emperor Xudu in the distance and the eighteen generals around him could hear it clearly.

At the same time, Gong Mingyi, who didn't know that he had formed an internal division, was also a little curious about the eighteen strange ghosts around him.

When he left the capital that year, these eighteen old ghosts had not yet been transferred from the north, and the two sides had never met. Gong Mingyi doesn't know them so well, and he doesn't even know all of them.

This makes the curiosity even heavier.

Gong Mingyi paused, and knew that he still had to answer Emperor Xudu, so after putting away his curiosity for the time being, he continued: "The ghost soldiers of their Nine Shadows Kingdom are best at accurate shooting and melee combat. Often, from a distance, they fired quickly and at a long range with their hands and fired accurately at our soldiers with their firearms, which were not small in power. Many of the soldiers were killed by firecrackers, almost all of them by a single shot. ”。

As he spoke, Gong Mingyi's mind resurfaced the battle scene on Shuoyue Island. In Gong Mingyi's mind, the attacks after the landing operation flashed again and again, and the ghost soldiers of the Northern Yin Dynasty who were overwhelming rushed to the fortified positions built by the Nine Shadows Kingdom on Shuoyue Island, and they were defended in danger.

Then, one after another, the gunfire rang out, and the deafening sound of cannonballs brought up flames one after another, and the cannonballs dragging the billowing smoke made a sharp roar and fell from the sky.

Gong Mingyi recalled this, and suddenly paused, his hands shook violently, and his eyes were full of fear.

What came to mind again were tragic scenes. In the sound of gunfire and explosions, the scene of the fallen Xudu army in rows, as well as those ghost soldiers of the Northern Yin Dynasty who were torn apart by artillery blasts and whose bones and flesh were blurred were tragically killed.

Even Gong Mingyi, who was cold-blooded and ruthless before, recalled that scene again, and felt that the horror of hell was really far from the battlefield of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The advanced weapons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are even more powerful than most gods and ghosts, and they don't take too long to activate.

These advanced weapons made the battlefield even more tragic, and at the same time, they also planted the seeds of fear and horror in Gong Mingyi's heart.

"Their long-range artillery can accurately hit the soldiers in our rear who are preparing to attack with divine and demonic arts, as well as reinforcements and supplies, so that all divine and demonic techniques have been reduced to nothingness before they have been used. The material losses were heavy, the reinforcements could not enter the battlefield in time, and the offensive became insufficient. After a while, Gong Mingyi, who had recovered from the memories and the fear brought by the memories, continued to say slowly to the other ghosts in the main hall: "And no matter what type of firebolt it is, it is extremely fast from the rate of fire to the reload, and there is no friction and a long shooting gap. The ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can hold a firearm and quickly carry out continuous kills against our army. One gun after another can always make the courage to charge seem so small and powerless. ”。

Emperor Xudu didn't say a word, but he was also a little bored, he had heard these things many times. Now I can't get any interest in listening to it, so I can't help but yawn.

And the eighteen generals of the Inner Division listened attentively, they were originally far away from the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and they were not involved in the core affairs of the Northern Yin Dynasty before, and they knew too little about the Nine Shadows Kingdom, so no matter what Gong Mingyi said about the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it was new to them.

"In terms of tactics, the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are never passive. They pay attention to mobile warfare and annihilation of the enemy through movement. Often, when we attack a point, an army suddenly strikes out from the left and right, or from the top of the head. Gong Mingyi, who took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, continued: "These surprise ghost soldiers often run away after a fight. If you don't chase him, he will hit him again, or he will run away. Until most of the strength of our army is dispersed, and then their Nine Shadows Army takes advantage of the surrounding dangerous terrain to cut our army and destroy them one by one. This is just one of the tactics. The Nine Shadows Army can even arrange cold gunners on the battlefield to shoot our officers quietly during the battle. So much so that in the later stages of the battle, I didn't dare to let the officers wear special armor to the battlefield. They can also turn defensive battles into offense on the battlefield. In the face of every attack of our army, the Nine Shadows Army will first summon the Flying Sky Army and the Air Cavalry, as well as the Flying Thunder Vehicle, and after the covering bombardment of a large number of ghost soldiers charged by our army, the artillery will continue to bombard. When the artillery bombardment was over, the infantry, with the cooperation of the cavalry, began to launch a counter-charge. After dividing our army with cavalry, the infantry stepped forward to destroy the divided divisions of our army. ”。

This is really the first time that Emperor Xudu has heard of these things, and he has also concentrated on them.

In the past, the battle report in the notebook described the tactics of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom only relying on artillery, and the infantry and cavalry attacked after the bombardment first, but it was not described in such detail.

Now listening to Gong Mingyi's detailed speech, Emperor Xudu is also bright.

"Then there is the surprise attack, which is also what the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is best at. They had powerful air cavalry, no longer armed with bows and crossbows, but with artillery. Gong Mingyi's eyes were filled with horror again, recalling the sneak attacks on Shuoyue Island again and again, and said slowly: "With their flying thunder vehicles, Xiancha and other aerial weapons, every night attack can effectively strike at our army from a high altitude." Even if our army made countless empty camps to confuse the Nine Shadow Army, it would be useless and ineffective. They can still hit the target with precision every time they attack. At this time, I still haven't figured out how the Nine Shadows Kingdom did it. ”。

Gong Mingyi's words came to an abrupt end.

He slowly lowered his head, burying deeper and deeper, and his hands clenched the hem of his robe.

What comes to mind is the scene on Shuoyue Island, after every night attack by the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The sea of fire and smoke in the camp, as well as the screams and groans of the soldiers who were still alive in the explosion for the time being, but who had broken their arms or were blown to a bloody pulp, these past memories kept flashing in his mind at this moment.

Gong Mingyi thought that he was already hard-hearted, but he didn't expect that when he thought of these again, he felt guilty and sad, and felt guilty and sad for those soldiers who died at the hands of the enemy.

Gong Mingyi suddenly felt that he was incapable of bringing back those soldiers who were on the expedition.

"What else?".

This guilt did not last long when it was interrupted by a questioning from Emperor Xudu.

Gong Mingyi slowly raised his head and glanced at the Emperor Xudu who was sitting not far away. He saw the calm on the face of the Emperor Xudu, and saw a trace of indifference hidden in the calm.

Gong Mingyi's heart trembled, and he was puzzled: What conditions can make God so ruthless?

"What else?" Just when Gong Mingyi was stunned, Emperor Xudu asked again. This time, there was a little more urgency and impatience in his tone.

"What's more, the weapons of their Nine Shadows Kingdom are very strong, whether it is power, range, or damage, they are not comparable to the swords, bows and crossbows in our hands. Gong Mingyi, who came back to his senses, put away his emotions, and then said: "There are probably two kinds of firearms, one is short but not long, which can be held by a single soldier and shot more than a dozen times in a row, without stopping. The other is heavier, with a bracket underneath, which requires two ghosts to operate together, and it doesn't stop firing hundreds of times in a row. And it seems that the barrels of their guns do not get red and hot after continuous fire. ”。

Gong Mingyi didn't expect it himself, but he inadvertently told the secret of the firearms of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Xiao Shizhu secretly obtained the Demon God's method of training gold and iron, and used it to make firearms.

While thinking about the battlefield situation, Gong Mingyi never let go of his hands that clenched his hem. At the same time, he also said: "The kind of firearm held by a single soldier, and the firearm also has a short knife on the mouth, which can be used for melee combat." These short knives are all made of steel, and the skills of the ancient gods are very well forged and very sharp, and the strongest armor of our army can be easily split, hurting the flesh and skin. It's even easier to split the flesh and bones. ”。

As soon as these words were finished, among the eighteen generals of the Inner Division, sitting closest to the Emperor Xudu, the bull-headed monkey body, each of them was not big, and the demon soul Wutong frowned, and said thoughtfully: "How do I think that these weapons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are so similar to those weapons in the hands of the demon gods back then?"

The clue to Wutong's guess comes from the fact that the barrel of the gun will not get hot.

And Wutong's words also immediately woke up Gong Mingyi, reminded him of an incident in the past, and hurriedly nodded again and again, saying, "That's right, what this adult said is right." At that time, on the battlefield, there was a military doctor by my side, and he also speculated the same way. He said that only in ancient books had he seen the records of these weapons controlled by the ghost army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Even on the Immortal Cha of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the rolling thunder that burst out after the cannonballs were exploded, and the thunder and lightning that split the rocks and rocks were also created by a skill researched by the demon gods in the past, as mentioned in the book. ”。

It's a pity that not long after this military doctor said this, he died under artillery fire in a sneak attack night attack that the Nine Shadows Army never tired of.

After that, Gong Mingyi was obviously offensive, but he was often forced to stumble by the British moves, so he was busy worrying about the war, but he almost forgot about it.

If it weren't for Wutong saying it thoughtfully today and clicking on Gong Mingyi, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to remember it.

"Is this really the case?" Emperor Xudu's confused gaze stretched all the way forward, until he looked at Gong Mingyi before he stopped, fixed on Gong Mingyi's face.

Emperor Xudu still can't believe that the Nine Shadows Kingdom has obtained all the Demon God weapon manufacturing skills. What he was thinking about before was nothing more than that the Nine Shadows Kingdom could get the fur.

After all, Emperor Xudu has been searching for these demon god skills for many years, and he still hasn't found anything. How did he find it by the Nine Shadows?

Now Gong Mingyi, a ghost who has seen almost all the weapons equipped by the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, is in front of him, and the Emperor Xudu must ask clearly.

In fact, Gong Mingyi himself has no positive answer. The demon god exterminated the clan, and when he disappeared from this netherworld world, Gong Mingyi had not yet been born.

How could he have the opportunity to see those weapons created by the demon gods in the past, which once emitted earth-shaking divine power in various parts of the Netherworld?

But Gong Mingyi is not sure, so what others say, he is easy to believe in preconceived ideas. On the contrary, it is self-defeating, so that the Emperor Xudu will not underestimate the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

This indirectly led to Xiao Shizhu in the future, and the more bitter and dangerous it became in the war with the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Gong Mingyi didn't even think about it for a moment, so he nodded heavily without hesitation, and said affirmatively: "Yes, Your Majesty, almost all the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are equipped with weapons created by the Demon God Technique. ”。

Here, Gong Mingyi didn't know that he had added fuel and vinegar, but he only said these words that woke up the high-level of the Beiyin Dynasty, and the other ghosts in the hall over there except for the Emperor Xudu were in an uproar.

This is the eighteen generals of the Inner Division, but there are a few ghosts who followed the Emperor Xudu all the way from scratch and created the father of the Northern Yin Dynasty. The others are all old ghosts. When they were young, the Demon God was still in this world, and they were fighting the Old Gods in full swing.

Although I may not have seen all the weapons made by the Demon God, I have heard of them somewhat. What is a sharp weapon that cracks the mountain and cracks the stone ten miles away, a deadly fire gun in the middle of a hundred zhang, etc., the eighteen generals of the Inner Division have more or less heard of the prestige of these weapons when they were young.

Among the eighteen generals of the Inner Division, there were several ghosts whose fingers were trembling unconsciously even after being surprised. It's just the subconscious control, the boldness of pretending, forcing them not to tremble, but just the part of their fingers trembling.

On the other hand, Emperor Xudu, he was not afraid, but the surprise in his eyes lingered for a long time. His lips also opened slightly, forgetting to close them.

Gong Mingyi's words really woke up the Emperor Xudu and the eighteen generals of the Inner Division.

Before that, they all felt that Xiao Shizhu's Nine Shadows Kingdom was not invincible, and some victories were not too many luck accidents.

Moreover, the number of active ghost soldiers in the Nine Shadows Kingdom is far less than that of the Northern Yin Dynasty. This is the previous high-level of the Beiyin Dynasty, and they all think that this is their absolute advantage.

But now it seems that it may not be feasible. Even the ghost skills that the ghost soldiers of the Northern Yin Dynasty are good at, in the face of the weapons created by the demon gods' skills, they have to bow down.

After all, the ghost soldiers of the Northern Yin Dynasty, even if they practiced hard for a thousand years, the cultivation of gods and ghosts was not as good as that of the ancient gods.

Even back then, in the battle between the ancient gods and the demon gods, the ancient gods were just narrow victories and miserable victories.

At the same time as waking up, whether it was the Emperor Xudu or the Eighteen Generals of the Inner Division, there was only one thing that came to mind. That is, it is necessary to continue to develop the military industry of the Northern Yin Dynasty rapidly, and to catch up with the Nine Shadows Kingdom in this regard.
