Danzhu just wanted to let his soldiers fly high after nightfall, and then take advantage of the darkness of the night to throw the few remaining boulders in the city against the Xiao family's army, and make a ruin.

Strictly speaking, Danzhu's plan is very good. Edison didn't seem to have come to the underworld to report after his hiccups, and his light bulb naturally didn't bring it to the underworld to publicize; anyway, there are no light bulbs and no electric power stations in the underworld, so naturally there is no searchlight. As long as the head army flies to the high altitude where the lights on the ground can't shine, they can easily sneak attack the Xiao family army without being discovered.

This is also the method that Xiao Shizhu used to fight Sanxing Island at the beginning, but in terms of perfection, Danzhu's bad idea is less than half of Xiao Shizhu's original strategy. First of all, not to mention that the firearms of his army are old and have not been promoted throughout the army. Let's just talk about what he is facing, it is a rare ghost talent in the underworld for thousands of years, Xiao Shizhu, who is born to know how to change the nobility of soldiers and strange tricks, and has endless tricks, and the odds are even less. What's more, as early as when he was attacking Sanxing Island, Xiao Shizhu had been pondering how to conduct air defense at night without searchlights and radars.

After several hard thoughts, Xiao Shizhu came up with several effective air defense methods, and today, he is going to use these methods to deal with the scorn army that dares to attack at night.

After nightfall, a southerly wind blew near Danshui Castle. The fragrance of the damp earth spreads into the air, and it is as soft as a girl's kiss, which makes people feel intoxicated.

But Xiao Shizhu has no leisure to enjoy the comfort brought by these wind and snow. He didn't even eat, so he asked the sergeants to prepare his secret weapon. Unleash these secret weapons as quickly as possible.

After Lu Wu had eaten, he looked at the secret weapons prepared by the sergeants, each pumpkin was the size of a cuboid shape, and the structure was so large that it was divided into two parts: the main body was made of bamboo grates, and the lampshade was pasted on the outside of the main body with cotton paper, and the bracket at the bottom was also composed of a grate cut from bamboo, and a small iron bowl was shelved, which was full of cotton that had absorbed a mixture of fire oil and spirits.

After Lu Wu looked at these things, he was even more confused, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a lantern with a strange shape?"

"This is called the prayer lantern in the world, and it is also called the Kong Ming lantern. Xiao Shizhu smiled and explained to him simply: "Look at it, they will light up the sky above Danshui City in a while." ”。 After finishing speaking, he took the command flag in the herald's hand, waved it in the direction of Danshui City, and said, "Light the prayer lantern!"

With an order, the Xiao family soldiers lit the Kong Ming lantern in their hands one after another, and then let go. Those Kong Ming lanterns did not carry that infinite longing and full of blessings, but with the impending death, with the slight south wind, accompanied by the hazy moonlight, towards the direction of Danshui City.

A Kong Ming lantern does not have much light, but more than 10,000 Kong Ming lanterns, flying together in the air, are not only spectacular as the stars in the sky, but also can instantly illuminate the sky above Danshui City, making it like day.

Immediately afterward, some soldiers carried something out of the cabin. It looks like a balloon made of sheepskin, or a much larger Kong Ming lantern.

It was made up of a balloon, a basket, and a brazier. The balloon is made entirely of sheepskin, with fine, airtight stitches and a rope attached to the basket at the opening. The hanging basket is not small, nailed with wooden planks, about half a zhang in length, width and height, enough to stand three soldiers in it without crowding, and there are shields tied around the perimeter, and there are a lot of sandbags hanging.

The sergeants worked together in groups of three or five to open the bottom of the balloon and light the brazier hanging between the balloon and the gondola, and the balloon slowly inflated. When it became swollen, two soul soldiers burrowed into the basket with various firearms. Immediately, as soon as the soldiers who were pulling the balloon mouth let go, these large "Kong Ming lanterns" flew up with human souls.

"What's that?" Lu Wu asked curiously, staring at the flying objects with wide eyes. What made him even more curious was that Xiao Shizhu had not been in the army for a long time, and it only took a few days to create these things, which were novelties for the backward underworld, and also taught the soldiers how to use them.

When did all this start, even he, the deputy general, didn't know, so Lu Wu had to sigh secretly in his heart while being curious and stunned: "Big brother Xiao Shizhu is the material of a dry secret envoy! ”。

"It's called a hot air balloon, and with the materials of the underworld, it can only be done to this extent, and it needs to be improved in the future. Xiao Shizhu looked at the dozens of hot air balloons that slowly rose into the air, showed a sly smile, and said slowly: "Now, they are my mobile fortresses in the air, you can stare at the head army with wide eyes and suffer." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of flapping wings from the city, and then he saw the army flying into the air in large numbers like bees leaving the nest.

Danju also sent 10,000 soldiers at this time to carry out the decision he had made in the afternoon.

But when these 10,000 soldiers saw those Kong Ming lanterns, they were also stunned, and they stopped in the air one after another, curiously looking at these things they had never seen before.

And the Xiao Jiajun will never give them a leisurely time to appreciate and observe; the Xiao Jiajun in the hot air balloon following Kong Ming's lantern have silently aimed their firearms at those people.

For a time, the thunderbolt guns roared, the five thunder god machines roared, a swarm of bees was dense like locusts, and the fire dragon roared out of the water and shook the sky. After the fire burst out and disappeared, there were continuous explosions, which resounded in the Tou army, one after another, like a fierce tiger roaring valley, which not only caused countless casualties to the Tou army, but also made the beasts within a radius of dozens of miles of Danshui City panic.

It's really earth-shattering, crying ghosts!

The sneering army, who was already stunned by those novelties, had not yet recovered and saw countless casualties among their companions, coupled with the artillery deterrence of the Xiao family army earlier, which made them mostly frightened at this time.

And their opponent, Xiao Shizhu, is not a good man and a woman. Xiao Shizhu, who knows the hard truth that you want your life while you are sick, will not let them go because they are afraid. But after seeing that the were holding boulders, he ordered the sergeants on the ship to aim the fire crows that had been set up in the direction of the swordsmen, and resolutely lit these kite-like firearms. Subsequently, he ordered Qin Yuan to take the five hundred militia around him to rise into the air, shouting and killing and flying in the direction of Danshui City.

The tragic primitive air battle began at this point. has always been proud of its wings and boasted of flying in the air to control the enemy, and even the Communist Labor Army could not embarrass their scorn for a while, and for the first time their eyes showed great fear and fear.

That kind of look never appeared when Floating You led the army to besiege Danshui City. In their opinion, Xiao Jiajun and their advanced weapons are like the grinning demon king and the demon soldiers in the hands of the demon king, they are so dangerous, powerful, and invincible!

The screams rang out in all directions, looking at the explosions that erupted one after another over the Danshui City, as if announcing the brilliant fireworks that the Danzhu regime was about to fall here, Lu Wu opened his mouth and spoke.

Although he followed Xiao Shizhu to fight in the south and north several times, and although he had seen this person's soul perform all kinds of strange tricks countless times, such a gorgeous scene this time still made him gasp. This was not because of fear, but because of the shock brought by Xiao Shizhu's wisdom, which made him surprised and at the same time, his heart could not be calm for a long time.

The flying advantage that the leaders were proud of was easily resolved by Xiao Shizhu. What was left for the Devil's Army was only pity and death.

"The ship's artillery is fired in unison, targeting the south and east and west walls of Danshui City!" Xiao Shizhu was stunned by Lu Wu and gave another order to the soldiers on the ship. When the Xiao family soldiers heard the order, they began to reload and fire their guns in an orderly manner.

As the cannon sounded, the sound of killing in the air became louder and louder. The beaten and blinded army was like a headless fly, scattering and crashing in the sky above Danshui City. There were even many sneers who were not killed by the Xiao family's army, but were knocked down from the air by their panicked companions.

As for the boulder in their hands, it naturally fell into Danshui City.

"Big brother, are you also asking Wu Zhiqi to use such novel tactics?" Lu Wu, who was relieved, looked at the sky above Danshui City, which was torn apart and ignited by the explosion not far away, and asked slowly.

"Yes. But it was different, all I gave him was a hot air balloon without a Kong Ming lantern, and I added a death order. Xiao Shizhu stood with his hands in his hands, admiring the magnificent battlefield, and said: "Since he is too small to take risks, I will ask him to retreat twenty miles after nightfall, and extinguish all the lights on the ship." Without the sailor and the warship, the enemy army in Yingcheng, who was stunned, did not dare to go after him alone. ”。

"It can even confuse the enemy army, so that the enemy army thinks that he Wu Zhiqi is not good at night attacks, so he retreats to a safe place. Therefore, the enemy army, who was tired of defense during the day, also thought of taking advantage of his retreat to rest and recuperate, and naturally they would not chase him. After thinking for a while, Lu Wu added, "Is that so?"

"Yes. And Wu Zhiqi's onslaught during the day can make them tired. But the retreat is not really a retreat, and Wu Zhiqi will make a comeback at dawn and take those who are still asleep by surprise. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head and said proudly: "This is the deception in a thousand arts!"

"I've heard you say that there are thousands of tricks, isn't that a means of cheating money in the casino?" Seeing the scorn army in the sky above Danshui City, after more than half of the casualties, Lu Wu asked again: "But how can you use it, it's not just a means to cheat money?"

Cheating money is only the tip of the iceberg, it can steal the country at the top, and it can be cheated at the bottom, and the power is infinite. As he said this, he saw that there was fire everywhere in Danshui City, and the flames instantly soared into the sky. Xiao Shizhu immediately applauded, and then said to Lu Wu: "It's almost time for the curtain call." Let the sergeants prepare for the landing charge, as soon as the city wall collapses, the ghost captives are the vanguard, lead our army into the city, and kill all those who dare to resist!" ......

In Danshui City, Hu Hui stood in an inn in the east of the city, under the eaves of the cloister, looking up at the starry Kong Ming lanterns in the sky, as well as the gorgeous explosions, and was stunned.

Since following Xiao Shizhu, it was the first time he had followed the other party on the expedition, and it was the first time he had seen such strange tricks. I couldn't help but feel a lot of surprise in my heart, and I also sighed that Xiao Shizhu was really a genius, and I don't know what method the other party used to make the lantern fly into the sky, and it flew to the sky above Danshui City with the south wind, shining through the world and the world.

As far as this ability is concerned, even if the most powerful mechanic of the Mo family comes, he may not be Xiao Shizhu's opponent. Hu Hui has reason to believe that as long as Xiao Shizhu knows the operation of the Mo family's organs, he will be able to come up with an excellent way to crack it in a short time.

"I'm the right ghost, this person's soul is not powerful at this time, and he is so wise and powerful, and he will definitely be able to dominate the ten continents and six seas of the underworld in the future. Hu Hui muttered to himself, but his eyes never took his eyes off the top of his head.

"Lord Dharma Protector. A moment later, a young soul trotted all the way towards Hu Hui. After standing beside him, he lowered his voice and said, "The captains have sent people to ask, when will the attack begin?"

"Wu Qiu Shou, has the sect leader started bombarding the city wall?" Hu Hui turned his head slightly and glanced at the human soul. But seeing that this young man was only in his early twenties, he wore a blue brocade jacket and green boots, dressed as a rich merchant, and his facial features were squarely embedded on his white square face, and under a pair of figure-eight eyebrows, his clear eyes were a little indifferent and clever.

"Yes. The young soul named Wu Qiu Shou replied to him, and said, "My subordinates have counted, and so far they have fired four rounds of cannons." ”。

"Okay, let's go and have a good time. After Hu Hui bowed slightly, he said unhurriedly: "Tell the believers that the main targets are the granaries, the official yamen, the armory, the arrow tower and other defensive facilities in the city, as well as the wells. ”。

"No. Wu Qiu Shou answered, turned around and walked away quickly. Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Hu Hui and said to him: "The sect leader has an order, and he knows how to protect himself, tell the brothers to be careful, when their lives are threatened, they can give up the task and choose to retreat, and the sect leader will not blame." ”。

"No!" Wu Qiu Shou replied again and walked away quickly.

As soon as he left, Hu Hui also turned around and walked quickly into the room behind him. By the time he came out again, he had already changed into a black outfit and a black scarf wrapped around his head. Even the face was covered with a black cloth, and only two eyes were exposed.

With a short curved knife on his back and a lot of * hanging from his waist, he looks like a ninja and an ancient assassin.

I saw him walk quickly to the corner of the courtyard of the inn, jump up, climb over the wall, and quietly go outside.

As soon as the servants landed, Hu Hui saw that there was a great chaos in the city, and everywhere he could see the scattered and fleeing residents rushing home to hide, and sometimes there were many scorn troops, spinning and falling from the air, slamming heavily on the ground or on the roofs of the street, but they had already lost their breath.

Hu couldn't look back much, and after identifying the direction, he cautiously avoided the patrol in the city and headed towards the middle of the city.

His target was Danzhu's Yuhua Palace.
