The artillery roared on the battlefield, and the rumbling and shaking continued for a long time. In addition to the army of the Nine Shadows, she is the second ghost who has made the Xudu army suffer many times.

In the Xudu army, the exclamation was shouted from Ji Meng's mouth, and the second batch of earthen pots flew from the walls of the poor mountain city.

There was an uproar in the front of the Xudu army, and the sticky fierce fire oil either fell on their armor and shields, or scattered on the ground beside the sergeants with the broken pottery shards, slowly penetrating into the soil, and slowly flowing in all directions.

The sound of artillery fire was greatly reduced, and Ji Meng's heart was also tight, he had already vaguely guessed what the female lu was going to do, and when he was about to order the army to retreat temporarily, the sky over the poor mountain city changed instantly, and the overwhelming dark clouds came with the wind, forming a strange whirlpool in the sky above the two armies.

Immediately after, in addition to the rumbling sound in the depths of the thick inky clouds, there was also a fireball as large as a millstone, with raging flames, falling from the sky like a comet, crashing into the army of Xudu.

The fierce fire oil on the ground was instantly ignited by the flames, and the heavens and the earth were dyed red by the flames, and there was no other color; The fierce fire oil was originally the burning agent of the flame, and with the heavenly fire of the female ruel, in the blink of an eye, there were countless ghost soldiers in the front army of the Xudu Army, covered in high flames and screaming, there was a wail between heaven and earth, and a trace of pungent scorching stench, which drifted out in the hot wind.

The flames of the heat wave surged, and the flames spewed out tongues of fire with the fierce fire oil that flowed out, heading towards the middle army of the Xudu Army. When the Xiong army at the head of the city saw that the attack of the Xudu army had suddenly stopped, and had no time to take care of shelling them, in line with the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, they continued to use trebuchets to throw the earthen jar filled with fierce fire oil into the sea of fire under the city.

They even hung the jars on the bolts of the bed crossbow and shot them out of the city. Earthen pots filled with fierce fire oil fluttered in cascading and descending from the sky with despair.

Although Nulu is a princess, she was born in the troubled world of the underworld, and she doesn't just eat, drink and have fun. She had already expected that her use of the portrait of Emperor Xudu as a talisman would only solve a temporary crisis. This matter will definitely be reported to Xudu by Ji Meng, and the old ghost of Emperor Xudu will definitely not care about his own soldiers and horses firing at his portrait for the sake of victory.

So during Ji Meng's report, Nulu neither asked Ji Xuanyuan for a soldier, nor was she idle, in addition to constantly building the city and training troops, and gradually evacuating the people in the city to the land of Youxiong, she wanted Ji Xuanyuan to secretly transport the Queen Mother Country from Kunlun Continent, which was regarded as supporting the fierce fire oil of the Xiong Kingdom's rebellion behind her back, and distributed it to her.

What he was waiting for was that when Ji Meng received the holy decree of the Emperor Xudu, and when he and the Xudu Army were allowed by the Emperor Xudu to do something to the portrait of the Emperor Xudu, he would give the other party a surprise fire attack, so that the Xudu Army would struggle desperately in blood and fire.

Ji Meng looked at the raging flames in front of him, and bit his lip hard, allowing a trace of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth, and the anger in his eyes jumped like a flame reflected in his eyes.

"You play with fire, I play with water!" Ji Meng's luck was his own ghostly spirit, and after pinching out his trick, he ordered angrily: "The shelling continues." ”

As soon as he spoke, the artillerymen began to reload. After quickly calibrating the artillery, it once again aimed at the head of the poor mountain city and fired a furious fireball. Dozens of shells erupted through the air from the artillery positions of the Xudu Army, and in the blink of an eye, they violently slammed into the walls of the Poor Mountain City, causing the Youxiong National Army at the head of the city to exclaim.

At the same time, there was a surge of red light in the dark clouds in the air, and then several fireballs broke through the thick dark clouds and smashed towards the side of the Xudu Army from the air.

Cannonballs flew and fireballs roared, and the two sides were at the end of their crossbows and had to fight to the death, and the angry woman looked at Ji Meng, who was also looking at her from afar, and both ghosts seemed to see the anger rising from the other's bodies. The fireballs and artillery fell on their respective targets at almost the same time, and the explosion shook the sky, and the loud boom resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The city wall south of Poor Mountain City was finally overwhelmed, and the bricks of the wall were shattered one after another. In the dust, most of the walls collapsed. In the smoke and dust, there were Xiong Guojun on the city wall screaming and exclaiming, and fell from the air with the collapsed walls, falling half dead.

And at this moment, the fireball of the female scorpion also fell on the artillery position of the Xudu army.

In the earth-shaking roar, the wind was blazing.

The shells that were piled up on the side of the artillery, surrounded by flames, exploded, and the earth trembled under the violent explosion, and the flames flew in all directions as fast as thunder, and dozens of cannons with either twisted or exploded barrels were thrown up from the flames with the heat wave. Immediately followed by the heart-rending screams of the Xudu army......

"King of the Nine Shadows, I want you to give me Manjiang City. "Extravagant corpse finger on the map of Manjiang City, said slowly.

On the edge of the Yanzhu Pavilion in Manjiang City in Dongyizhou, a breeze blew, blowing Xiao Shizhu's robe, as well as his long silky hair that was untied on his head and scattered over his shoulders.

The pond water outside the pavilion rippled with the breeze, and the lotus leaves were also sparkling with bright green light and shadow under the breeze.

Xiao Shizhu only glanced at the map, and after a brief pause, he showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. At the same time, he raised his head slightly, and with a caring gaze, he looked up and down again at the extravagant corpse that seemed to be paralyzed, without the slightest expression of solemnity.

Xiao Shizhu wanted to laugh, but he still held back. He didn't know what gave the corpse so much courage to make the other party say Fang Cai's tough request in less than three minutes after meeting him.

And the extravagant corpse didn't even bring a meeting gift;It seems that the other party can't distinguish between reality and ideals.,And really think of himself as a ghost who can be on an equal footing with the Emperor Xudu.。

Seeing that he kept looking at himself, but he had been silent, he paused for a moment, and after taking a sip of tea by the way, he said: "I won't let you give it for nothing, the Corpse Kingdom will provide you with 10,000 stone of food for the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。 The tone was full of contempt, as if it was a very proud and honorable move for Xiao Shizhu to give up Manjiang City to him.

Shui Dadu, who was standing behind Xiao Shizhu in the pavilion, as well as the ghost officials and soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, were suddenly stunned when they heard this, and Qi Qi cast an angry look at the corpse of Haobi.

Xiao Shizhu wanted to laugh even more, so he involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth, but a little contempt and disdain also appeared in his eyes.

After another moment, Xiao Shizhu put down his teacup, stood up and walked slowly to the side, facing the lotus pond outside the pavilion, with his back to the corpse of Haobi, staring at the red dragonfly that landed on the lotus bud not far away.

He was afraid that if he looked at the face of the corpse again, he really couldn't help but laugh out loud. And now, he doesn't need to giggle, otherwise he won't be able to suppress that arrogant corpse.

The dragonfly's wings, which were as thin as cicada wings, shook slightly, and flew up again towards the blue sky and white clouds.

"There is a saying in the world that a weak country has no diplomacy, and it is said that if a country is too weak, it will be bullied by other countries, and it will not even have the right to bargain with other countries. I remember when I first came into contact with this phrase, I was twelve years old. I saw a picture of a book with a picture of the division of the country between the great powers and the world, and next to the picture, the original owner of the book marked this sentence. I don't know why, I've always been able to keep this in mind, so after coming to the underworld, especially after becoming the king of the Nine Shadows, I have been fighting for the strength of the Nine Shadows Country, in order to say that the weak country has no diplomacy, don't appear in the history of the Nine Shadows. After a moment of silence, Xiao Shizhu slowly spoke: "But I have a question that I can't understand now, and please take the trouble to answer my questions, does my Nine Shadows Kingdom look weak? A big city with eight squares (one square is equal to a city district) and dozens of streets, as well as millions of ghosts, why is it only worth 10,000 stone of grain?"

Xiao Shizhu sometimes has no bottom line, but if he is asked to exchange food for a city, he will not do it; not only that, but the more he talks, the more angry he feels.

"Is it that your extravagant corpse has been too swollen and floating after more than ten cities recently, or is it that my Jiuyou National Army can't lift swords, guns, and artillery?" Xiao Shizhu, who was not frightened, forced the anger in his heart and slowly turned around, looked at the corpse of Luxury with interest, and asked coldly: "Luxury Corpse, you didn't take medicine when you went out, right?" ”。

As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the pavilion admired Xiao Shizhu. Even the subordinate Shui Dadu admired Xiao Shizhu even more.

The extravagant corpse was slightly stunned, the various victories that came in did make him a little fluttery and a little carried away, so he was so arrogant that he didn't take the Nine Shadows Kingdom in his eyes at all. Therefore, when the Nine Shadows King sharply refused and ridiculed him, the first reaction of the corpse was that he couldn't understand why Xiao Shizhu dared to refuse him.

If there is a history of the underworld, then there must be a strange biography, and the corpse of the extravagant will definitely be selected for it.

However, he dared to come to Ming to rob Manjiang City, and it was not all because of the courage given to him by arrogance. He knew that the foundation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Dongyi Continent was unstable, and there were not many troops and there were enemies on all sides.

In the northeast and east of Manjiang City, there are the Xudu Army and the Xiazhou National Army, and in the northwest there is the Corpse Soul Army under his extravagant corpse, and in front of Langya Pass in the southeast, there are still tens of thousands of Xudu Army that have not been solved.

As for the sea, those who work for three days and two ends will have to fight a battle with the Beiyin Water Division; in this way, the roots of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Dongyi Continent are basically unstable, and the extravagant corpse is a very greedy ghost, and he is careful. What he has always held a grudge against is that Xiao Shizhu didn't cooperate with him before, so after seeing that Manjiang City was restored to order, and the farmland outside the city was full of grain, he was bold enough to come to the door in person and rob Manjiang City with open fire.

However, after being stunned for a moment, after thinking of so many disadvantages around Xiao Shizhu, the corpse calmed down again, and the faint consternation that lingered on his face before had disappeared.

The corpse and Xiao Shizhu on the opposite side met for a moment, slowly spoke, and said in a deep voice: "King of the Nine Shadows, I am not here to discuss with you, this is an order; 10,000 stone of grain for the river city, as well as the conditions of the people in the city, thunder and thunder. ”。

Suddenly, the breeze became stronger, and became a strong wind. The anger on the faces of all the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the pavilion did not decrease but increased, and Xiao Shizhu's eyes also burst out with coldness and ruthlessness, meeting the domineering spirit shot out of the eyes of the corpse.

"If you don't give it, I'll take it myself, and that's it, give you ten days to think about it. After a pause, the corpse then said coldly in a tough tone: "As soon as the ten days arrive, I will personally lead the army south. ”。
