[314] Burning Mountain
The ghost mother had a look of affirmation on her face, recalling that she had just confronted the assassin, and when she quietly hit the opponent's chest with a palm, the assassin's chest was soft, and she suddenly knew that the other party was also a female ghost.
So she immediately thought of the palace, those female spies sent by Emperor Xudu, the known names and surnames are Luzhu Luluo and Chen Ruo, and Chen Ruo has already secretly surrendered, and the rest is Luzhu Luluo.
So after receiving the recruitment, the ghost mother no longer hid anything, and said that the other party was sent by the Emperor Xudu;
The ghost mother quietly observed secretly, and as soon as she saw this, the assassin's right eye blinked slightly, and according to Xiao Shizhu's micro-expression, it showed that the assassin's heart was weak and she was right.
From this point of view, Emperor Xudu still wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate the ghost mother, so that Xiao Shizhu was in chaos, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom was completely thrown into chaos.
As soon as the ghost mother said that the assassin was a female ghost in the palace, Wu Qiushou, who was still stunned, reacted instantly.
The Yuque Palace is the current political and military center of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, not to mention the strict guards, the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army in the palace is also extremely strong, all of them are the elite of the Nine Shadows Army, and they are all good at tracking and counter-tracking.
And although the terrain of Yuque Palace is a sinkhole, it is very complicated, the avenues and paths between the halls and pavilions are dense, the squares and pavilions are all over the place, staggered like a labyrinth, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ghosts who don't understand the terrain and the arrangements of the palace guards can't bypass the bright posts and secret posts in the palace and enter the deep palace.
In addition, the assassin can easily kill the Juexiang Garden with ease, and he knows that the ghost mother is in the Juexiang Garden at this time, and after sneaking in, he can not alarm the guards outside the garden, which just shows that the other party is 100% a ghost in the palace.
If it's from outside the palace, it really doesn't have such a big ability.
It seems that the Assassin's flight south must have been a cover. After spending a lap in the palace, he fled back to his residence.
"Go to the Shuangbi Palace. The ghost mother thought about it and saw that Wu Qiu Shou had suddenly realized, and did not explain too much, just looked around at Qinglan and those guards, and said in a calm tone: "After secretly arresting Luzhu and Luluo, Xuanjiao immediately secretly took over the Shuangbi Palace, and all the affairs in the palace are as usual, don't leak the slightest rumor." ”。
"No. Qing Lan didn't talk nonsense, bowed her hands, beckoned to the guards behind her, and led them out of the Juexiang Garden.
The ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu have long wanted to take down the green beads and green pothos, but they have never had a chance, and it is not good to tear their faces with the Emperor Xudu before; but now the Emperor has been secretly organizing an attack on the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but unfortunately today she has encountered such a good opportunity, and the ghost mother will not miss it; whether these two sisters are assassins or not, she plans to take it first.
"Inform the officials of the four divisions and the Inner Dynasty that they will report to me in a secret manner on behalf of the recent government affairs and the affairs of the DPRK and the Central Committee of the DPRK. The ghost mother paced a few laps and said thoughtfully to Wu Qiushou: "Tell the outside world that I was assassinated and unconscious." He also informed the other ministers of the DPRK and China that they should not make a noise. ”。
Wu Qiu Shou's face was full of incomprehension in surprise, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Huh?"
"What the enemy wants, we will give them?" the ghost mother smiled and said, "This is called a plan." ”。
After finishing speaking, she beckoned Chen Ruo to come over, and whispered in the other party's ear......
Devil's Cry Beach, shaped like a pocket, has a narrow beachhead and a forest of reefs, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Because of this, when the sea breeze blows into the sea, it will become as miserable as a ghost cry due to the terrain, hence the name Ghost Cry Beach.
After the beachhead of several tens of feet, there is a flat land that suddenly opens up, and the flat land with a radius of four or five miles is full of dense fine sand, which makes it quite difficult for ghosts to walk here. On the north, south and west sides of the flat land, there are mountains with towering cliffs and lush trees.
Therefore, the garrison arranged by Du Ziren here was not camped on the beach, but on the high mountains on three sides.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu did not plan to attack the beachhead in accordance with the rules at the beginning, his attack plan was to advance from the mountains on the north and south sides. And this plan, Xiao Fuling overheard.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Xiao Fuling took his fifty guards and Xiao Si, all changed into black cloaks, and rode ten small boats loaded with more than a dozen wooden barrels full of * and fierce fire oil, taking advantage of Xiao Shizhu's last attack, quietly left the fleet and headed towards Qingfeng Ridge to the north of the beachhead.
Once discovered by the shark and the boat ghost, Xiao Fuling will ask Xiao Si to come forward, and Xiao Shizhu ordered them to sneak attack by lying.
Therefore, along the way, although Xiao Lingling and the others were mostly discovered by the vigilant merman, they were also fooled. No ghost knows, the lord is in these ten small boats.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Fuling insisted on bringing Xiao Si.
When they approached the beachhead, but saw that there were no guards there, Xiao Fuling was not surprised, and hurriedly helped the guards to get all the fierce fire oil and *, quickly helped the boat, and then hid the boat behind the reef on the coast.
Then after they found the right way, Xiao Si and Xiao Fuling, with big flowers at the front of the team, quietly went up the mountain in the dark along the stone path of Qingfeng Ridge, while assassinating the enemy sentry and patrol in the mountain, opening the way for the guards behind them.
The guards are responsible for carrying those* and fierce fire oil on their backs.
Although Xiao Fuling is not very old, it is also the first time she has been on the battlefield, but it is not the first time she has killed ghosts; as early as when she was in Yuque City, she followed Xiao Shizhu to suppress bandits in Chutian County several times. Therefore, dozens of enemy soldiers have quietly died at her hands tonight, and she has not yet trembled or nervous.
And the guards who followed her, although they were all female ghosts, they were all experienced female ghost forbidden soldiers. Naturally, there was not the slightest fear of the darkness around them, or the craggy rocks and towering trees that looked like wild beasts with fangs and claws;
Half an hour later, Xiao Fuling and the others quietly approached the top of Qingfeng Ridge.
At the end of the trail ahead, a dock fort is built near the cliff, hidden in the shade of the mottled trees, and the tower in the fort can overlook the entire Devil's Crying Beach under the mountain;
Xiao Fuling and Xiao Si squatted down behind the pine trees ten zhang away from the east of the fort, stretched out their arms, and pointed their palms back at the guards behind them.
The military gestures of the Nine Hidden Countries are all military gestures that Xiao Shizhu read from books when he was in the world, and Xiao Ling's meaning at this time is to let the troops stop first.
When the guards saw this, they hurriedly took advantage of the mountain breeze and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees trembled and made a loud noise, and tiptoed behind the bushes and trees on both sides of the path.
Xiao Fuling stretched out her hand, gently patted the head of the inseparable big flower beside her, signaled it to be quiet, and then cautiously poked her head out, looking at the darkness in the dock fort, very puzzled.
It was pitch black and silent in the bunker.
It's not normal, it's not normal.
Even if the Southern Barbarian Army has been tired and tired by the Nine Shadows Army in the past few days, how can there be one or two guards who keep vigil?
And there is not even a sound of insects and birds chirping in this area, which is very abnormal.
But this dock fort was pitch black at this time, completely blending with the night, which made Xiao Fuling can't help but be vigilant.
"There's a human soul in the Dock Castle. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Si, who had been perceiving it for a moment, was slightly stunned, frowned, and whispered in Xiao Fuling's ear: "It seems to be ......."
Before she could finish her sentence, the gate of the castle was slowly opened by the ghost from inside the castle with a creaking sound that pierced the silence.
A ghost appeared behind Xiao Ling's eyes, staring intently at the gradually widening crack in the door.
Xiao Fuling's heart was suddenly startled, and she clenched the hilt of the short sword at her waist again, and gently, gently pulled the sword body out of the scabbard.
"Girl, are you going to draw a sword against your father?" The ghost glanced at the cold light behind the tree, and smiled: "Tell you a trick of raiding and assassination, be quick and ruthless, don't draw your sword at every turn, and make a move when you see it, remember?"
Before the words could be heard, Dahua rushed out and circled around the ghost a few times, stretching out her long tongue and wagging her tail.
Xiao Fuling saw that Dahua was so close to her, and when she heard this voice again, she was immediately relieved. He put away his sword and stood up, and exclaimed with joy: "Dad, why are you?"
The other guards and Xiao Si, after seeing the ghost's face clearly with the moonlight, got up together and saluted Xiao Shizhu in unison: "Lord." ”。
That ghost is indeed not his ghost, it is Xiao Shizhu.
When he caught up with Xiao Lingling, he saw his daughter taking Xiao Si and the guards along the steep and rugged mountain road, heading towards Qingfeng Ridge in the dark.
Xiao Shizhu originally wanted to go up and pull Xiao Fuling back, but after thinking about it carefully, it was originally for her daughter to come out for exercise, and she just secretly escorted it, there was no need to do everything according to her own intentions.
Otherwise, I will kill my daughter, and I will come out in vain.
So he continued to hide his breath, quietly followed behind, and quietly watched Xiao Fuling and them perform.
It wasn't until he was about to reach the top of the mountain that he remembered the information of the fungus people that there was a dock fort on the top of the mountain, and more than a hundred enemy troops were stationed in the high walls, and they were also equipped with bed crossbows and trebuchets.
Xiao Shizhu strode forward, stood opposite Xiao Fuling, gave her a start, and scolded in a deep voice: "Forget what you agreed with your mother?
"Don't, don't. Xiao Fuling sucked her mouth in pain, and after waving her hand again and again, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "Am I not in your sight, father?"
Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, then laughed instead of anger, and scolded unrelentingly: "Stinky girl." ”。 In an instant, his face was long gone, replaced by joy.
Xiao Fuling not only has a temperament like him, but even the ghost is smart with him, which makes Xiao Shizhu feel relieved and nothing else at this time.
"Okay, you can quibble. Xiao Shizhu leaned over, picked a blade of grass from his feet and bit it in his mouth, and asked a little vaguely knowingly: "Come, tell me about your plan." ”。
"No. Xiao Fuling became excited, although she deliberately lowered her voice, she still gushed a few degrees higher than the previous decibels: "I will capture and hold on to this dock fort, and after burying * around it, when our army begins to attack, it will be in the arrow tower in the dock fort, and start a fire attack on the military camp below." ”。
After speaking, with a little expectation mixed with a little nervous gaze, he looked at Xiao Shizhu.
She was nervous because she was a little afraid that Xiao Shizhu would deny her plan, and at the same time, she hoped that after Xiao Shizhu heard the words, she felt that her plan was also feasible, and then praised her.
"The plan is good, but it's not close. Xiao Shizhu had the heart to nudge his daughter, so after a little thought, he explained to her without reservation: "This dock fort is strong, but if you stuff all your troops into it, it is equivalent to putting all your eggs in one basket." If the enemy wants to counterattack, then you will be a turtle in an urn, and there is no way to escape. As long as the enemy gets some fierce fire oil, splashes it on the wall, and then sets up firewood and grass outside the courtyard, you will all become the Beiping roast duck in the world. ”。
When Xiao Fuling heard this, she thought about it again, so after thinking for a while, she blurted out: "Then I will arrange a few guards, bring firearms and repeaters, and ambush them among the grass and trees around the dock fort. ”。
"The child can be taught. Xiao Shizhu stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her little head indiscriminately: "You can cooperate with the inside and outside, but you have to start the battle with the Jiuyou National Army in one step and attract a part of the enemy army, even if you can't attract it, you have to let the enemy army on Qingfeng Ridge be in chaos, and come to the next time to divert the tiger from the mountain, then this night attack can be regarded as close to perfect." ”。
"Father, how is that kid going to attract the enemy army over?" Xiao Fuling, who was diligent and inquisitive, nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
"Simple. Xiao Shizhu smiled evilly, and turned his head to look at the oil drum carried by the guard behind her: "Let's play a game of burning the mountain." ”。
