[534] Opening

Xiao Shizhu is a genius in war, even if he has not attended a military school for a day, he also knows that just defending the surrounding city and shelling the outside on the wall is not a long-term solution. No matter how strong the walls are, there are times when they can hardly withstand shelling and collapse.

Moreover, they only shelled the city, which would only make the huge number of Xudu Army, the Blacktooth Ghost Soldier and Fusang Army, and the Corpse Soul Army feel that they were weak and powerless.

After all, the mighty Xudu Army is not a corpse soul army, they are proud and invincible. If Xiao Shizhu didn't give the Xudu army who had been crisscrossing for thousands of years a little bit of power, they would not be afraid. And going out of the city to meet the enemy, on the contrary, can boost the morale of the Nine Shadows Army.

And he also has itchy hands, and he can't wait to use the Moon Destroying Sword to kill a few Xudu soldiers, otherwise he will die uncomfortably.

The cavalry behind him, whether they were riders or mounts, were all full of energy, holding their heads high majestically, and their eyes flashing with excitement as they looked ahead.

The mounts of these cavalry are either unicorns or Qingji, and there are no other beast souls. Each rider had two riders, and the main rider in front of him was armed with a fairly tight armor made of stainless steel, and his weapons were strong assault weapons such as maces, assault rifles, or golden hooks. And he carried a lot of bullets on his shoulder.

And the deputy in the back, except for the two muskets and the pomegranate thunder burning canister of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, did not bring anything else. Coupled with the two small cannons on the left and right of the beast soul's hips, a cavalry is already a mobile arsenal.

Xiao Shizhu stared at the not far ahead, and as far as his eyes could see, the thick and tall city gate made a dull creaking sound and slowly opened under the reasonable pull of the ten ghosts.

What greeted him was the pungent smoke and blood, which made Xiao Shizhu inexplicably excited.

It had been a long time since he had gone into battle to kill an enemy, and when he turned over and jumped up to Yue Ying again, the ghost blood all over his body was boiling. His sharp eyes were staring at the front, and the five fingers of his right hand were clenched, clenching the Moon Destroying Sword held high.

"Warriors come with me, let the swords and guns in your hands drink the enemy's ghost blood happily!" With a loud shout, Xiao Shizhu had already taken the lead in driving the beast and rushing forward.

Dust rose under the scattered hooves of the beast spirits, and the beast spirits hissed with the roar of the cavalry. The cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was like a rainbow, and thousands of horsemen swarmed towards the outside of the city.

As the vanguard of the combined army, the corpse soul army and the black-toothed ghost soldiers, who had been stunned under the dense artillery fire, had not yet come to their senses, and Xiao Shizhu killed them in front of them.

Yue Ying rushed forward in spite of the three enemy troops who dared to block the way, and when he landed, he was hit head-on by Yue Ying, and suddenly flew out of the air, and fell to the ground like a broken kite, spurting blood from his mouth and nose.

The white light of the moon-destroying sword in the hand of Xiao Shizhu, who was fluttering in his clothes, was like a dazzling tomorrow, and the sword light flashed continuously, Xiao Shizhu swung his sword continuously, beheading the enemy troops around him one after another.

In an instant, the placket and sleeves of his robe were stained red with blood.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing the grass on the ground. The cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which followed Xiao Shizhu, rushed out of the smoke in front of the city gate one after another, and quickly formed a mandarin duck formation and swept forward towards Xiao Shizhu.

In just a moment, their mounts roared with small cannons, and the muskets of their deputies rang out one after another, and hundreds of Xudu troops in front of them died in an instant.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was menacing, their lion tiger beast cavalry and elephant soldiers also braved artillery fire and attacked the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The lions, tigers, beasts, and ghost cavalry that were rushing to the front lined up in a row, and they came horizontally to open the formation. The riders raised their shields to protect their chests, raised their sharp spears, and prepared to stab the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in front of them.

The elephant soldiers who followed them were also lined up, and the Fusang soldiers riding on the back of the elephant pulled out the sun-shooting bow in their hands that was made of the wooden bow of the Fusang god and the body, and selected the horns of the swallow ox, the horn of the thorn, and the bald tail dragon glue.

At the same time, it can be seen that they put a total of nine sun-shooting arrows made of tungsten iron on the bow.

This bow and arrow are the characteristics of the Fuso army. A well-made Sunshooter Bow with a powerful bow that has a longer range than a regular longbow. Compared to being able to shoot nine arrows at a time, you can shoot nine arrows at the same time.

And in front of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there were at least five hundred elephant cavalry, and each war elephant had at least three Fusang Army ghost soldiers on it. They had all raised their bows one after another, pointing the long arrows in their hands slightly upwards to the sky.

The next second later, tens of thousands of sun-shooting arrows roared and shot out. The tungsten iron arrow rubbed against the air rider, and suddenly flashed a little green.

Immediately afterward, the arrow of the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow that shot angrily into the air and crossed the arc of the Dao suddenly burst into flames.

This is the advantage of shooting the Sun Divine Arrow, and the Fuso army smeared the arrowhead with a kind of fire spirit stone powder that is a specialty of Dongyi Continent, as well as some fierce fire oil. This powder did not spontaneously ignite in the past, and once it rubbed quickly against the sound of the air, it would spontaneously combust. Ordinary iron arrows turned into rockets in an instant.

Seeing this, the main rider hurriedly raised the long shield in his hand and placed it above his head, protecting himself and his deputy, as well as the beast soul under their crotch.

But the dozens of Nine Shadow Nation troops who rushed to the front were still a step slower. By the time they could react, a rain of arrows had fallen over their heads.

In an instant, these dozens of cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were stabbed by the divine arrow, and even the mounts under their crotches could not escape the tragedy of being devastated. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry was covered in flames and fell to the scorched ground.

Even the two standard-bearers who followed Xiao Shizhu closely followed each received an arrow in their arms. But he still gritted his teeth and endured the pain, holding high the flag in his hand, so that he could stand tall and waving in the wind.

And if Xiao Shizhu hadn't transported his Xuan power in time and protected his whole body, he would definitely not have escaped the fate of being hit by a few arrows.

The Fusang army angered Xiao Shizhu, and he swung his sword angrily, and he rushed like thunder, splitting a lion tiger beast cavalry that had rushed in front of him, and even the rider and mount into two.

With a mysterious power body, Xiao Shizhu is clothed in the direction, and rushes forward all the way, without any enemy army to stop his edge. Not even the spears of the liger cavalry could stab him. And the blood-dripping Moon Destroying Sword in his hand made the Xudu army stay away.

In the evening, the outside of the city of Manjiang was vast, and the blood-colored afterglow of the sunset was covered with the land where the strong wind was rolling and the cannon roared endlessly, and the cavalry on both sides came and went in the thick smoke of artillery fire, and the sound of killing became more and more intense, gradually overshadowing the screams and * of the wounded soldiers on both sides, and constantly echoing between heaven and earth.

The artillery of the cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom caused heavy casualties to the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty that surrounded them, and even the elephant soldiers who could tremble the earth were blown apart under the bombardment of the beast-loaded small cannons, and the bones flew sideways.

Moreover, their mandarin duck array can be attacked and collected, although they are heavily surrounded, but there are not many casualties. And most of the time, only they kill the enemy and take advantage, and the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty is basically only beaten and passively defended.

Xiao Shizhu led these 3,000 cavalry to rush left and right in the enemy formation for a long time, leaving a lot of enemy corpses and armor weapons on the bank of the river on the ground outside the north gate.

When the cloudy sun set, Xiao Shizhu led the cavalry to go around the enemy formation again and retreated to the city. He was already covered in ghost blood, and he went out of the city with 3,000 cavalry, but only brought back more than 2,000 soldiers.

His standard-bearer, who was already dying, insisted on holding it high, and when he reached the middle of the city, he rolled off his mount and lay on the ground in a gossamer.

It's not that Xiao Shizhu's cavalry is not strong in combat, it's just that there are too many enemy troops outside the city, so no matter how well his cavalry can fight, he can't escape the fate of being invincible with two fists and four hands.

Xiao Shizhu was able to bring back two thousand because his cavalry was highly disciplined, well-equipped and brave, and he killed the enemy without blinking.

Otherwise, under the siege of the enemy army like a tide, this cavalry would only be wiped out.

At the same time, the infantry who had received them, carrying the artillery and muskets of the dead cavalry that had been left outside the city, withdrew. And these more than 1,000 infantry and more than 1,000 chariot soldiers, and when they returned, hundreds of soldiers died on the way back.

However, the artillery technology of the Nine Shadows Kingdom cannot be left to the enemy. It is very necessary to sacrifice hundreds of soldiers to recover the equipment of the dead cavalry.

Immediately afterward, the sound of gold sounded outside the city. The heavens and the earth are getting darker and darker, and the cloudy sun has fallen under the East Mountain, and the Xudu Army, which has been fighting with the Nine Shadows Army for a day, finally dragged its tired body back, but left behind a lot of broken weapons and armor, as well as the dust and powder that many human souls turned into after they died, as well as the corpses of demon souls and beast souls.

"After nightfall, the infantry escorted the people out of the city quietly, and recovered all the weapons and armor of the enemy troops on the ground. By the way, the corpses of their beast soul mounts were also collected and piled up in the corners of the city walls. Every day of the battle, these corpses were sprinkled with fierce fire oil, and after ignition, they used the trebuchet left by the king of Xiazhou to throw these burning corpses at the enemy army. Xiao Shizhu, who turned down the shadow, explained to the adjutant with red eyes.

There is no such thing as plague in the underworld, and he is not afraid of corpses spreading plague in the city. But he can use all available resources to take away the enemy's ghost life to ensure his victory.

The only thing that pained his heart was the nearly 1,000 cavalry and hundreds of infantry sacrificed. After a few hours, more than a thousand Nine Shadows warriors were already outside the city, which made him, a battle-hardened human soul, feel sad.

"Shenji, inform Yuhua to come and see me, I want to discuss the night attack with her. After a moment of silence, Xiao Shizhu spoke again and said slowly to the gods who rushed over......

Yuque City, in the dungeon of the Chacha Division of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

In the cell, the firelight reflected the weakness on the face of Ji Kang, who was standing in the cage and covered in bruises, and also reflected the smugness on the face of Xiao Fuling opposite him.

Xiao Fuling held a cyan five-stone scatter no bigger than a fingernail in her hand, and shook it in front of Ji Kang's eyes. When he landed, Ji Kang, who was still weak and a little sluggish, was like a hungry jackal seeing flesh and blood, his eyes were shining and staring at the five stone powder, and his mouth trembled and shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me quickly!"

At the end of the day, it sounded more like a roar, and sweat beaded on his forehead. As his numb limbs twitched, his face was full of anxiety and longing.

Xiao Fuling was secretly shocked, and scolded herself in her heart: "These five stone scatters are really harmful to ghosts; ”。

"I can give it to you, as long as you open your mouth to tell some secrets of the Northern Yin Dynasty, as well as some details of your secret contact with Emperor Xudu. Xiao Fuling shook the five stones in front of Ji Kang's eyes again, and Ji Kang's eyes kept following the movements of the five stones, and he swallowed a few times suddenly, and the desire in his eyes increased instead of decreasing.

"Tell me those secrets, these five stones are yours. After a pause, Xiao Lingling added unhurriedly.
