[396] Betrayal

The sea breeze brings up gusts of salty moisture and washes up the beach with the waves.

Outside the tent, the roof clattered continuously, and the craftsmen continued to work together to clear the ruins and rebuild the pass.

"The formation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom seems to us to be really tricky and weird, flexible and changeable, but it is actually the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Ming Dynasty in the world. However, this kind of action is extremely convenient, and the formation of both long and short and offensive and defensive is unique, so our sergeants can also use this formation. In the big tent, Gong Mingyi continued to speak slowly to Zong Tian with a respectful face, but he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: "It's not because of that damn old ghost of Xudu, who immediately reincarnated the souls of people with knowledge and culture, and made the underworld blocked for thousands of years, so Xiao Shizhu took advantage of the loophole, made an ancient formation and beat them dizzy, and lived as they deserved." ”。

Zong Tian, who was concentrating, couldn't notice that Gong Mingyi finished speaking, and only after a moment did he come to his senses and asked with a smile: "Do you have any suggestions?"

The tone is gentle and sincere, and so is the expression, which is diametrically opposed to Emperor Xudu, and it is hard to imagine that this is one of the six ghosts created by Emperor Xudu.

"Not for the time being. Gong Mingyi thought about it for a while, and after finding that there was really nothing to say, he nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Gong. Zong Tian hurriedly got up with a slight jaw, and then bowed slowly to Gong Mingyi.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Gong Mingyi, who was a little scared, also hurriedly put down a sip of hot tea that he had never drunk, and after getting up, he bowed and saluted back.

"I've given you a mission, you're in charge of the ordnance forging and reconstruction here. Zong Tian slowly bypassed the handsome case, walked to Gong Mingyi and stood still, patted the other party's shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Do a good job, I will definitely ask for credit for you." ”。

"Thank you, General Zongtian. Gong Mingyi hurriedly saluted again.

Zong Tian waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat, and then he slowly retreated.

Not long after Fang left, Zong Tian's deputy general walked in again, and after seeing that there was no other ghost in the tent, he stood beside Zong Tian and whispered: "I don't like this little ghost surnamed Gong." ”。

"What do you say?" Zong Tian asked slowly, looking at the tent door that was inspired by the sea breeze.

"This little devil has selfishness in his eyes. Vice General Zong Tian snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the tent door and said coldly: "Look at his words and deeds in the underground armory, it is clear that he wants you to impeach Zhou Qi and Ji Kang." This Ji Kang has a prejudice against you, if you are being ...... by him like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zong Tian raising his hand, and then Zong Tian said calmly: "Now is the time to employ people, don't be so careful, not to mention that I won't be led by his nose." ”。

And he Gong Mingyi and Xiao Shizhu have a bitter hatred, and the hatred bites his heart, which makes him want Xiao Shizhu to perish very much. Zong Tian stood with his hands in his hands and said eloquently: "This is a kind of motivation, this kind of motivation can allow him to help us build an iron army that can compete with the Nine Shadows Army in the fastest time." ”。

Vice General Zongtian, who put away his anger, also felt reasonable after pondering for a while, so he said: "I hope he Gong Mingyi can be really useful." After that, he said no more......

Fenglin Island, on the northern border of the headless ghost country.

Most of the hundreds of miles of border are wastelands with only a few tiny shrubs and bare peaks full of jagged rocks. The only thing on the front and back is a high mountain with a saga-like mountain and lush forests. The name of this mountain is Tushan, and the mountain is full of tall and straight apricot trees, and in autumn it is golden all over the mountain, and it is very beautiful.

It is impossible to know where this name came from because of its age, but there is a fortress on this mountain with a circumference of more than ten miles, which was built because of the mountain's situation, and it is guarded on the only sheep intestine path up and down this mountain.

The two gates in the north and south of the city are stacked with huge bricks, which is extremely magnificent. The walls of Guancheng are all three zhang high, the walls are all based on stone seats, filled with rammed earth and covered with bricks, and there are countless towers and battlements on the walls.

In the city, there are towering watchtowers, granaries, wells and armories. And because the pass is held in the middle of the sheep intestine path, it is even easier to defend and difficult to attack.

This is the Tushan Pass of the Headless Ghost Country.

At this moment, the shouting of killing on the mountain road south of Tushan Pass shook the heavens and the earth, and the sound of long arrows breaking through the air was even more endless. A group of headless ghost soldiers holding shields and lifting them diagonally above their heads were killing the castle on the steep and steep path.

The defenders standing on the pass are no longer headless ghost troops, all of them are bear-bearing soldiers armed with longbows.

After Ji Xuanyuan led them to capture this place, they returned to China. However, it left 80,000 elites of the bear army in Guancheng, as well as a large number of arrows.

Some bear soldiers rushed up to the southern wall of the city, bending their bows and shooting angrily between the battlements. One iron arrow after another, shot towards the sheep intestine path in front of the pass.

The rain of arrows in the sky shot down from the pass with gusts of strong wind, whistling and piercing into the heavy bronze shields held by the headless ghosts in front of the pass. The arrows flew one after another, as fast as rain hitting plantains. But in less than an instant, he pierced the shields of dozens of headless ghost soldiers in the front row, and shot the headless ghosts behind the shields into hedgehogs.

The headless ghosts, who had been pierced through their bodies by long arrows, fell to the ground and died, rolling down the steep path and knocking over several of their companions behind them.

The headless ghost army under the hillside also set up a double-bow bed crossbow in time, and sent a line under the mountain, shooting thick chisel arrows like chisels and arrows like chisels at the mountain one after another.

The thick chisel arrows shot angrily towards the city one after another, piercing the chests of dozens of bear soldiers, and shooting the city wall and gate south of the city into a thousand holes, and the stone dust flew fiercely.

The mountain breeze blew through the mountains and forests, bringing up heavy bursts of blood, and even so, the headless ghosts did not flinch, and still went forward and killed the castle on the mountain.

Xingtian under the mountain looked up at the battle situation on the mountain and was silent.

Don't look at his cold face at this time, but looking at the dead and wounded soldiers on the mountain, his heart is not good, and he is full of regret.

The shouts of killing and screams echoed on the hillside for a long time, and after continuing to silently watch the battle situation on the hillside for a while, Xingtian suddenly ordered: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”。

"Why don't you fight, my lord?" said his herald, thinking that he had misheard, and hurriedly asked.

"Pull it off first. If we continue to fight to the death like this, our sergeants will suffer too many casualties. As Xing Tian said this in a deep voice, the two thick eyebrows on his eyes immediately rose upside down.

After the herald answered, he hurried to Mingjin to collect his troops.

After a while, the headless warriors who had rushed up the mountain with gray faces and many colors on their bodies slowly withdrew from the mountain, and they all cast incomprehensible glances at Xingtian.

And in addition to cheering and scolding again and again, there were bear troops in the city, and they did not go out of the pass to pursue.

This pass is solid and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is plenty of food and water in the city, as long as the pass is not broken, they do not need to risk going out of the pass and going down the mountain.

"Go find some oil and spirits, and firewood. Under the mountain, under the gaze of the headless ghost soldiers, he threw the shield in his hand to the ground at his feet, so that the shield stood in the soil and did not fall, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Burn the mountain, set this earth mountain on fire for me, and burn it all into a scorched earth, I don't believe that there are bears and ghosts in it if you can't burn it." ”。

After hearing this, the sergeants suddenly realized, and they all said that water and fire are ruthless, and once the enemy army in Tushan Pass is ignited, it will become a turtle in an urn. So they all cast admiring glances at Xingtian, and went to find firewood, oil, and spirits.

After a while, the spirits that the sergeants carried with them, and the fierce fire oil that the soldiers carried with them to fuel the burning were gathered.

In less than a cup of tea, the headless ghost army under the mountain made countless torches, and changed all the long arrows for bed crossbows into rockets.

At this time, it is a hot summer, and all parts of Fenglinzhou are like the sun for a long time, and you can see a dry sky everywhere. And the earth mountain is abundant with grass and trees, once it is ignited, it will inevitably be full of fire.

At that time, if the bear army wants to escape, it can only flee to the north, in the direction of the bear country.

After everything was ready, while the bear army in the city was still in high spirits, the headless ghost army lit the torch in his hand, rushed to the mountain, and after igniting the grass and trees on the mountain one by one, he threw the artillery and rushed down the mountain again.

By the time the Xiong soldiers reacted, there were already fires on the hillside. The waves of air swept down, and the raging flames spread in all directions, igniting all combustibles on the mountain.

The fire is fueled by the wind, and the flames are spewing down the mountain and the heat wave is churning. Most of the huge trees were already spewing fire, and the slope of a mountain was still lush and green, swallowed and chewed by the flames.

Youxiong Jun only realized that the matter was too serious at this time, and hurriedly took water from Guancheng and rushed out, wanting to rush out of Guancheng in a hurry to extinguish the mountain fire. Unexpectedly, the headless ghost army under the mountain had been under the command of Xingtian, and aimed the bed crossbow in the direction of the closed door.

As soon as the gate opened, all the bed crossbows under the mountain were fired in unison, and the chisel arrows and rockets were fired into the door in quick succession. Not only did dozens of soldiers of the Bear Country Army be placed in the blink of an eye, but the door of the gate was also set on fire by the way.

After watching the mountain turn red, Xingtian was excited. The headless ghost army also erupted in cheers.

At the same time, there was also dust rising not far behind him, Xing Tian turned his head to look, and saw a headless ghost in the rising dust, and the army was neatly organized and a large army, which was rushing from south to north towards this side very fast.

A soldier also rushed to his side at this time, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, and said, "Great King, General Qixing has come to support with the elite army in the country." ”。

"Okay! It's better to come early than to come at a good time!" Xing Tian, who was excited, turned around and walked towards the rising dust behind him, which was getting closer and closer, and met the Qixing led by him.

After a while, the two ghosts came together, and after standing face to face, Xingtian, who didn't know that Qixing had committed treason, took Qixing's hand and laughed: "Qixing, you are here." ”。

"Of course, the father-in-law is in trouble, and the son-in-law does not dare not come. Qixing smiled lightly, withdrew his hand and beckoned to the sergeants behind him, who were stunned for a moment, but finally raised the blade in his hand and strode forward.

Xing Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his heart jumped, thinking that he hadn't given the order yet, and Qi Xing didn't ask about the current situation, so it seemed very abrupt to order his subordinates to attack.

Without waiting for him to think about it or for him to ask, a cold glint flashed in Qixing's eyes, and then he drew his knife and slashed towards him.

Seeing the cold flash, the experienced criminal genius on the battlefield jumped backwards in a panic, narrowly avoiding Qixing's knife, and asked sharply: "Qixing, what are you doing?"

As soon as the words landed, the army brought by Qixing also pounced on the sergeants under Xingtian. Like a grinning beast, the giant axe in his hand was raised high, revealing a ferocious and hideous look to his compatriots.
