[551] Defeated

Outside the woods, there was also a loud burst of cannonballs, and the gunfire continued. Flames and smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the sky. Duula led his men, in cooperation with Xiancha, and launched two or three rounds of air attacks from the air against the Xudu army outside the woods, and she and her flying army and air cavalry descended from the sky one after another.

The Xudu army outside the woods panicked, and without such a calm general, the chaotic Xudu could no longer stabilize its position.

The heart-rending screams in the battle were heard, and the Nine Shadows Army could be seen everywhere stepping on scorched earth and stumps and flesh to kill, while the Xudu Army was fleeing.

In addition, this Xudu army that escorted grain and grass has been too scattered recently, and in the face of the fierce Jiuyou army, it was the sheep that met the wolf, and they had no power to fight back.

Under the sound of "boom" cannons, the plains outside the forest brought a fierce wave of hot wind, and there were fierce flames gushing into the sky under the flying of earth and rocks. Many of the grain trucks of the Xudu Army were turned into fragments of green smoke and flames in such a violent explosion.

The wind swirled with the heat, and the rising dust, the flying blades of grass, and the raised gravel stirred up the heavens and the earth into chaos. The hideous faces of the Nine Ghost Army who picked up blood were even more infiltrating under the chaos.

The fighting outside the forest is fierce, and the shouting of killing in the forest is shaking the sky.

Flying blood mist spread throughout the forest with screams. The supernatural ghosts in the army of the forest were strangled to death by the tall tree spirits with vines or trampled into meatloaf before they began to perform the magic of gods and ghosts.

The sword flashed one after another, and the unstoppable Xiao Shizhu smiled and killed in front of Bei Shu, and the light on the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand shone brightly, illuminating the dazzling eyes of Bei Shu and the surrounding ghost soldiers.

"Harvest, surrender, our Nine Shadows Kingdom will definitely treat you well, reuse you, and ensure that ghosts like you will be reused, and the future will be immeasurable. Xiao Shizhu said this, and the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand stepped forward, shaking out a piece of sword flower and stabbing towards the Adam's apple of the harvest, like lightning.

Before the sword arrived, a strong sword wind arrived first, enveloping the harvest. His face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly raised his knife to block the sword that Xiao Shizhu stabbed. But I didn't know that the opposite was Xiao Shizhu, the number one enemy of the Emperor Xudu and the number one enemy of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Then he scolded loudly: "Dare to rebel against the thief, and dare to talk about the future!"

Xiao Shizhu took the initiative to come to the harvest, just to invisibly set a trap. He knew that communication in the underworld was not developed, and there was no such thing as a camera with high resolution and an instrument that could record faces. Therefore, the high-ranking officials of the Beiyin Dynasty, only Jiang Ziwen, the former king of Qin Guang, and Hei and Bai Wuchang have never seen his appearance, and many other ghosts in the Beiyin Dynasty have never seen him.

Among these ghosts who have not seen him, there are also harvests.

If he retreated unharmed after fighting head-to-head with Bei Shu, he also took away tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass. Then the ghosts he planted in the Xudu Army and the Beiyin Dynasty can weave another charge of showing mercy and sympathy to Xiao Shizhu's subordinates.

Coupled with the loss of grain and grass, it has become a fact that the harvest is a lurking thief in the Beiyin Dynasty.

There will only be two endings. Either the endless interrogation of Emperor Xudu will force Bei Cheng to rush and turn against the Northern Yin Dynasty. Either Emperor Xudu acted very quickly, and without investigation, he beheaded the people who had not had time to redress their grievances. But no matter which way you go, the Northern Yin Dynasty will cut off its arms.

Xiao Shizhu and Bei Hui swords faced each other, and after fighting for dozens of rounds in a blink of an eye, they were still evenly matched. The sharp wind brought by the sword swirled around the two demons, so that none of the other demons dared to approach easily.

And the smile on Xiao Shizhu's face did not decrease, and a faint smile always hung between his facial features, it seemed that fighting for his life was just an extremely interesting thing for him.

In this way, the humiliation in his heart suddenly came to life, and it instantly gushed out like a spring. In just a moment, the long knife in his hand was swinging chaotically, and there was no trajectory or discipline to follow.

Seeing this, Xiao Shizhu retreated while fighting, and every time he swung the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand, although a sword, a momentum, an advance and a retreat were all unpretentious and concise and smooth, but he could also be strictly protected, so that the long knife could never get close.

Xiao Shizhu, who fought and retreated, looked around at the same time, and saw hundreds of grain trucks in the forest, as well as nearly 10,000 stone of grain on the car, which had basically been robbed by his subordinates and tree spirits, taking advantage of the chaos, and after seven or eight out of ten of the Xudu army transporting grain died tragically in the forest, Xiao Shizhu thought: The play is enough here, and any more must be too much.

So he put the two fingers of his left hand into his mouth, and after putting it in his mouth without hesitation, he blew hard. Then a sharp and long whistle sounded from his mouth, and instantly rose on the battlefield in the forest, drifting with the wind to all sides.

When the dryads heard this, they waved their two branches-like arms, and the rattans that came out of their hands whirred in the wind, causing the drunken soldiers who surrounded them to scream in pain and fall to the ground one after another, and then quickly retreated. In an instant, he melted into the darkness behind Motegi deep in the dense forest, and disappeared without a trace.

Then the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was also a flying army and an air horseman, and they rose into the sky one after another with their infantry. Xiao Shizhu also shook the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand at this time, and brought up pieces of dazzling sword flowers on his chest, and after successfully attracting the attention of the beast, the beast soared into the sky.

After a while, the forest with sporadic flames burning on the ground and among the trees was left in a mess.

On the woodland filled with the smell of blood, there were a lot of armor and swords lying on the ground, but all of them were the equipment of the Xudu Army without exception. The soldiers who died in the Nine Shadows Kingdom only had their robes and armor left, and their weapons had already been taken away by the other ghost soldiers when they retreated. And among these weapons and equipment lying quietly on the ground, you can still see grain trucks that have been broken into broken logs everywhere, as well as tattered military flags, which are burning in flames.

Harvest, who had not yet come back to his senses, looked around in a daze. But seeing that he didn't have a meal or two, there were not many ghost soldiers left around him, and there were many colors.

And the grain and grass on the grain cart that followed them into the forest were long gone. In a trance, he didn't react for a long time, and thought he was just having a nightmare.

It was not only the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who ambushed them, but also the spirit ghosts such as tree spirits that were only available in Dongyi Continent, which he had not expected.

And the other party not only let go of the empty convoy he deliberately arranged, and caught him off guard, but also the fire guns in the hands of the Nine Shadows Army were so fast, so long and powerful, that they could instantly break the armor of a heavily armed Xudu Army, making it rotten and rotten, which also shocked him.

The surrounding area is very ancient, tall trees, dense branches and leaves, in the air one zhang away from the ground, criss-crossing and shading the light of the stars outside the forest, but also making it difficult for the sporadic flames in the forest to penetrate the dense branches and leaves, to the outside.

The bare rocks among the trees were brightened by the fire. The black shadows of the stones, the branches swaying in the wind, and the shadows of teeth and claws, create hideous patterns on the ground.

"General. When he was stunned, a soldier with a blue nose and swollen face stood beside him and called softly, and Beishu came back to his senses.

But when he came back to his senses, he immediately felt that the surroundings were too quiet, except for the night wind that whistled from time to time, and the screeching sound of passing through the forest, only the few remnants of his army were left*. The other voices were as if they had disappeared into the shadows and darkness beyond the firelight as the Nine Shadows had gone.

It only took a moment of thought for him to know why it was so quiet. Because the sound of cannons outside the forest also disappeared with the retreat of the ghost soldiers and tree spirits of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the forest.

He screamed that it was not good, and was about to turn around and rush out of the forest with his army, when the canopy above his head rattled, making him stop again.

When he raised his head and looked overhead, he saw jars with fire at the top, falling rapidly from among the dense branches and leaves.

The jars shattered on the ground, the fragments cracking and bouncing down, the thick black liquid splattering out and flowing on the ground. Then the flames on the top of the jar splattered to the ground, instantly igniting the pungent black liquid.

The raging fire went crazy, scurrying around with the wind, devouring all the vegetation and trees in its path. The crimson flames brought a wave of heat, which instantly made the night breeze hot too.

Under the high flames, a sea of fire flowed among the trees, and the red flames flowed across the forest, and the smoke was filled with smoke like a thick cloud falling from the sky, dancing with fire among the trunks and branches of the trees.

Of course, Xiao Shizhu would not let too many Xudu troops get out of this forest alive and smoothly, he wanted to burn more enemy soldiers. So after his flying army and air cavalry took off, one by one the incendiary canisters were ignited and thrown towards the forest from high in the sky.

The blazing flames continued to swallow tongues of fire, heading towards the Xudu army in the forest.

In a panic, he hurriedly gathered his surviving men, crossed the wall of fire, and rushed in the direction of the road from which he came. The Xudu army, which is a little slower, will immediately be enveloped in flames, drowning in the sea of fire, screaming and running around aimlessly.

The sergeant who escaped by luck didn't have time to rejoice, and he didn't care about saving his comrades who were surrounded by flames, but just buried his head and ran forward with Bei Shu.

And just after Bao Shu ran out of the woods with more than a dozen embarrassed subordinates, there were earth-shaking loud noises in the forest behind him.

The dozen or so fungus people left behind in the Nine Shadows Kingdom sounded the * that they had already bought.

The earth trembled, and the reaped mount was startled, and stood with its front paws raised high, and let out a terrified roar, when the stool on its back retracted its head, and saw explosions in the forest not far behind it, and the burning earth and rocks and broken trees were thrown in all directions with the bulging heat wave and hot wind.

The heat wave was so hot that it burned his face, and he felt pain all over his face. The dazzling light of fire rose behind the entrance of the forest, reflecting the red of the heavens and the earth.

Immediately after, the Xudu Army, which had not yet rushed out, became a pile of stumps and flesh in the smoke of the flames brought up by the violent explosion. There were many tattered weapons and armor left, which were burned by the flames along with the trees.

Gritting his teeth in anger, he stroked the mount's neck with his hand to reassure it and looked back at it.

But not far ahead, there were craters of smoke all over the ground. Sporadic flames, burning in and around the edges of the crater.

Thousands of grain carts, which had not yet entered the forest, were burning on the plain not far away. Whether it was the grain and grass on the car, or the body and wheels of the car, they all crackled under the cover of flames.

The beast soul pulling the grain cart either died by the side of the cart or disappeared. And most of the Xudu soldiers guarding the grain cart also died here, and the rest, like the fleeing beast souls, have run away without a trace.

Harvest tonight is a complete defeat, a complete defeat.
