[587] Famous Black Tooth
The yin wind blew, and the branches of the smiling locust trees in the garden trembled, bringing a rumbling sound. The scar on the tree also let out bursts of giggling laughter.
The cloth on the body of the Emperor Xudu was inspired, and the cuffs swayed in the wind.
After seeing Zhu Maichen leave, Emperor Xudu continued to stand on the top of the rockery, silently watching the blood spring spewing out from the rockery beside him, and falling into the waterhole below and splashing everywhere and stunned.
Not long after Zhu Maichen left, a toilet ghost as big as a pig, with a purple and black face but covered with black spots, and a pair of tiger noses and pig's teeth in his mouth, walked towards this side under the guidance of the ghost slave.
There are many strange ghosts in the underworld, and there are many types, but this toilet ghost always doesn't invite him to see ghosts. There is no other reason, just because this kind of ghost likes to scare him in the thatched house for fun, and he is born with a stinky body.
No matter how much they bathe, they can't wash away the smell of feces and urine in their sweat.
However, in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the treatment of toilet ghosts is good. First, in the Nine Shadows Country, which regulates the country, the policy of equality of all ghosts is implemented, and there must be no racial discrimination between ghosts, otherwise if you receive a report, you will be punished for discriminating against other ghosts.
The second is that Xiao Shizhu asked his ghost to add water with quicklime, and then put in the caustic soda made of edible salt, as well as grease and water, according to the method of handmade soap he saw on Weibo when he was in the world, and the mass production of soap can wash away the smell of toilet ghosts.
In this way, the toilet ghost can live normally like other ghost clans, and will not be disliked by other ghosts.
It's a pity that in the Beiyin Dynasty, the original price of a piece smuggled from the Nine Shadows Country was only 500 Wen, but the palm-sized soap could be bought at a high price of thirty taels of silver in the Six Heavens Continent, and most toilet ghosts still couldn't afford to buy soap, so naturally they couldn't clean the stinking smell on their bodies, and they still lived a life of provoking disgust.
Of course, many toilet ghosts have also become secret agents under Emperor Xudu, specializing in hiding in the latrine and eavesdropping on the words and deeds of the ghost people in the city. Once they heard that the ghost people slandered or complained about the actions of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they would report it with more fuel and vinegar, and then let the ghost people be beheaded all over the house.
This is also a way for the toilet ghosts to avenge themselves, but it makes them even more spurned by the ghosts of the Northern Yin Dynasty.
The toilet ghost had just come to Emperor Xudu, and the pungent smell emanating from his body made Emperor Xudu frown.
"Quickly infiltrate the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and let the spies who have contact with you inquire about the whereabouts of King Yama. Just as the toilet ghost knelt down and kowtowed, Emperor Xudu had already spoken.
Since the king of Yama was captured, the Emperor Xudu could also see that Xiao Shizhu wanted to appease the other party; since Xiao Shizhu wanted the king of Yama so much, he simply pushed the boat down the river and planted the king of Yama in the court of the Nine Shadows, which had already appeared in his mind.
But before that, to be on the safe side, he also had to confirm the loyalty of King Yama.
Most of the spies he sent out were arrested by the officials of the Nine Shadows Kingdom before they could play their role, and they were arrested one by one. Only the ghost detective under this toilet ghost has not been exposed so far.
It was only fitting to send this ghost to contact those spies and inquire about the situation of King Yama.
"No. The toilet ghost who answered the call kept his head on the stone in front of him, and did not dare to raise his head.
"Let's go down. Then, his brows became more and more furrowed, and Emperor Yudu had already waved his hand, signaling the toilet ghost to retreat.
After kowtowing again, the toilet ghost got up and slowly retreated.
As he left, the stench in the air around him faded.
Emperor Xudu sighed lightly and shook his head. Then I thought about it, it was not reliable to rely on this spy alone, maybe this was the time to activate King Qin Guang.
Although there have always been some rumors that King Qin Guang has surrendered to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, Emperor Xudu has dispelled his doubts because he has read some information sent by King Qin Guang, which is consistent with the actual situation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. And he hasn't used King Qin Guang much, because he is afraid that once it is activated, Xiao Shizhu, who is a ghost and a ghost, will find out the identity of the other party. As everyone knows, King Qin Guang has already secretly taken refuge in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the true information sent is all released by Xiao Shizhu and Jiang Ziwen together*.
The Emperor Xudu, who was unaware of it, thought that King Qin Guang was well disguised, so as to perfectly confuse Xiao Shizhu, so that in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the official will become bigger and bigger.
After thinking about it, Emperor Xudu still felt that it was good to use King Qin Guang's cold son, so he turned around and faced the side of the downhill path, and said slowly to the palace slaves standing under the rockery: "Go and get the Zhu Pen." ”......
In Dongyizhou, the black tooth is domestic.
This ghost country actually has three counties of land, and those three counties are in the shape of a zigzag, two counties in the south and one county in the north. Its capital is located in the north, in the county called Chiqing County, which connects to the Plain of the Hidden Gods.
The capital of the Black Tooth Country, called Snake City. The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and each mountain is in the shape of a narrow fish ridge. In the middle of the mountain, there is a large hole like an arch, and the top reaches the mountainside, connecting the whole mountain.
From a distance, these four mountains are connected together, like the four walls of the Snake City, and it is a big hole, like the gate of the Snake City.
Although it is not possible to build a gate as high as a cave, it is also possible to set up a fence in the cave, build a gate tower and an arrow tower, of course, on the hillside, a lot of dock forts have also been built, standing between the jungle rocks, making the snake city easy to defend and difficult to attack by virtue of natural hazards!
It's just that this so-called easy to defend and difficult to attack is just a thing of the past.
Now facing the Nine Shadows Army outside the city, the sergeants in Snake City have no courage to resist even if they are in this city with a natural barrier.
Ten days ago, Zhu Hai, the general of the Nine Hidden Nation Army, led the 200,000 Nine-Nine Hidden Nation Army into the territory of the Black Tooth Country. This Nine Shadows Army is newly formed, more than half of the members are the evil ghosts of the Xudu Army who surrendered to the city of Manjiang, under Xiao Shizhu's care, they have become like other soldiers of the Nine Shadows Army, they have become warriors who are as warm as a spring breeze to their own people, but fierce as wolves to foreign enemies.
The rest are the young adults who once lived in the Xiazhou Kingdom, and a small number of veterans of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
As soon as this army entered the Black Tooth Country, it attacked in multiple directions, and within five days, it swept through all the towns in Chitian County in the southeast of the Black Tooth Country. Cut down the enemy and captured hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers.
Then Zhu Hai divided the army into three and stayed all the way in Chitian County. The second route of soldiers and horses began to advance eastward, advancing along the north of Wenyuan Valley as planned, and capturing the sentry pass of the Bishu country.
And Zhu Hai himself led the remaining soldiers and horses, and according to Xiao Shizhu's instructions, attacked Chiqing County.
Four days later, he reached the foot of Snake Castle, the capital of the Black Tooth Kingdom, located in the middle of the county.
For a while, the black-toothed country talked about the change of vermilion, and even those black-toothed ghost generals who had experienced a hundred battles couldn't help but tremble when they heard the word Zhu Hai.
The army of Zhuhai gathered in the south of the city and set up a formation. The air cavalry riding the beast soul that can take off is at the front of the large array, and the road cavalry riding the beast soul that cannot fly is located on the left and right of the large array. This was followed by the infantry who set up the thunderbolts and lined up in a row and crouched. Finally, there was the Flying Army and the artillery array, and the rows of poisonous fire cannons and heavenly thunder cannons, as well as columns of falling star cannons, were already ready, aiming at the dock forts and arrow towers on the mountain opposite the Nine Shadow Army.
The ones on the mountain were covered in ink, and even their teeth were black. A black face with a little red lips and two red eyebrows, and the ghost soldiers of the Black-toothed Country, who were also dressed in red, looked at the dark and deep cannon muzzle, and there was nothing else in their hearts except fear.
They didn't even have the courage to take the initiative to strike first, so they could only huddle on the mountain and shiver.
They are still fighting with bows and crossbows and spears and broadswords, and it is still okay to fight with other ghost countries, but it is too difficult for them to start a war with the army of the Nine Ghost Kingdoms armed with guns.
Especially in the big array, the handsome flag fluttering in the wind and hunting made them tremble when they looked at it.
Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about the owner of this handsome flag, Zhu Hai. The black-toothed ghost soldiers who retreated towards Snake City described Zhu Hai as a terrifying demon, and there were even rumors that Zhu Hai ate hundreds of ghosts who did not surrender a day.
This made Zhu Hai famous in the Black Tooth Country, and also made the Black Tooth ghost soldiers in Snake City frightened of this ghost general.
But when they saw the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom coming to the city, and the handsome flag in the army was embroidered with a big red character, the fear spread in the city did not decrease but increased.
There are even many ministers and ghost generals who have already figured out the details of packing up and surrendering out of the city.
Zhu Hai outside the city, but no matter whether they were afraid or not, as long as they did not lay down their arms and surrendered, he would not hesitate to order the massacre. This is the military regulation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, you can not kill and surrender troops, but those who do not surrender will never be spared.
As for the four high mountains outside the Snake City, under the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they were not an obstacle at all.
"Fire!" After three quarters of noon, Zhu Hai slowly pulled out the hammer on his waist, raised it violently and swung it forward.
The artillery of the Nine Shadows Army, who had been waiting for a long time and were eager to try, sounded the artillery in front of them one after another.
Suddenly, thick smoke billowed into the sky, flames covered the air, thunder and cannons shook the heavens and the earth, and one after another red cannonballs, with a sharp sound that broke through the air, landed on the hillside not far away and exploded.
The flash shrapnel ejected, piercing the red clothes of the ghost soldiers of the Blacktooth Country around them. The flames of the Dao surged out of it, rushing in all directions like a raging tide, drowning everything in its path.
In the explosion, the grass and trees in the mountains flew up with the rubble, and the arrow tower and Wu Fort between the grass, trees and rocks were naturally not spared.
The arrow towers shattered in the flames, and in an instant, they tightly covered the screams of the black-toothed ghost soldiers inside the towers. Thick smoke billowed down, and the dock forts collapsed, covering the ghost soldiers of the Black Tooth Kingdom who had not had time to escape in the fort.
After more than a dozen rounds of intensive and rain-like shelling, there was no defensive offensive on the southern slope of Snake City. Flames raged and smoke rose to the sky's hillside, leaving only screams and a mess.
The air cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom soared into the sky, heading towards the top of the mountain, and the beast flew away. Their mission was to cross the hilltop and enter the city after the enemy defenses on the hillside had been destroyed.
At the same time, the road cavalry of the Nine Shadows Army also raised their swords and guns and killed them towards the cave.
The earth trembled under the claws and hooves of the beast soul.
Zhu Hai, who turned over and rode on his mount, also held high the double hammer and moved forward with the fierce slaughter of the army. After a while, he was at the front of the line.
The co-rider of the two cavalry who followed him closely behind him had already calibrated the cannon mounted on the beast soul and opened fire on the arrow tower in the cave.
In the roar of artillery, three or five arrow towers collapsed one after another, and a cloud of dust rose from the ruins.
The cavalry, who seemed to be in layers of rage, followed Zhu Hai and rushed into the cave. Among them, the defenders saw that the Jiuyou National Army was menacing, and they didn't dare to stop it, and fled in a panic towards the city. The invincible Nine Shadows Army rushed through the cave almost without encountering any resistance.
