[508] Abandon the city and go north
According to legend, it was created by the ancient god Fuxi of this round formation, which is a kind of circular battle formation in the field defense war, in order to carry out the ring defense, the golden drum banner is deployed in the center, and there is no obvious weakness.
However, the cavalry under the female leader used this formation to charge and improve their defense.
Originally, this round formation was difficult to deal with, but after the cavalry of the Bear Country that formed the circle rushed out, the Xudu army was even more dumbfounded.
They soon discovered that there were cavalrymen of the Bear Kingdom, and on the front of the shield and in front of the cuirass, there were also portraits of Emperor Xudu.
Well, now the Xudu Army is completely crazy. In the face of the enemy army that is menacing and wants to get rid of them as quickly as possible, it is neither impossible to fight. Fight it, no matter how you hurt the portraits of those Emperor Xudu, that's disrespectful. If they don't fight, they will become pigs, cows, and sheep to be slaughtered, and they will only be waiting to die.
The well-trained cavalry of the Bear Kingdom did not give them time to think at all, and the beast rushed forward, and the front army of the Xudu army was rushed to pieces with a sword in hand.
The sound of slaughter in front of the poor mountain city was deafening. As far as the eye can see, thousands of beasts outside the city are galloping, the dust is rising and the flesh and blood are flying, and the wind is blowing in the open plain, and the stinky bloody gas is scattered in all directions.
Not a single one of the Xudu army dared to kill the enemy, not that they were all cowards, but that the cavalry of the Xiong Kingdom was too damaged, and they actually used the portrait of the Emperor Xudu as a talisman. And this thing is much easier to use than the talisman, forcing everyone in the Xudu Army to make a move, including their main general Ji Meng, is also muttering in his heart.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Ji Meng simply put his heart on the side and ordered Mingjin to collect his troops and fight again in the coming days.
What he has to do now is to make this battle winless and to preserve the strength of the Xudu army. Then report the matter to Xudu, if you get the approval of the Emperor Xudu, you can fire at his portrait, then Ji Meng will no longer be soft.
The sound of gold sounded, and the Xudu army began to retreat in an orderly manner. However, the cavalry of the Bear Country was instructed by the female lu in advance, and no longer chased and killed any battlefield rules.
From beginning to end, both sides were like a race of chases rather than outright battles. The Xudu army blindly fled, not daring to attack excessively except for defense, while the Xiong army was red-eyed and rushed to kill desperately.
For a while, there was a mess and panic in front of the poor mountain city, and the armor of the Xudu army could be seen scattered everywhere.
Standing at the head of the city and looking at her army, the female who had been driving the Xudu army to the border and did not stop, gave an order: "Blow the trumpet to collect the troops." ”。
At the sound of the order, the trumpeters around raised the trombone in their hands and puffed out their cheeks and played hard. The melodious sound of the horn sounded, drifting away with the wind in the distance.
"Princess, our rations are running out. At the same time, her lieutenant stood beside her and said, "The food storage is only enough for two days at most." ”。
"Let the painters continue to make the portrait of the Emperor Xudu. After hearing this, the female lu continued to stare intently at the retreating cavalry not far from the city, and said slowly: "We will go to Ji Meng to borrow food tonight. ”......
The first person to know about the move of hanging a portrait of the female to resist the enemy was not the Emperor Xudu but Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows. There are a lot of Xuanjiao disciples lurking in various parts of Fenglin Continent in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and this news has just spread in the cabinet counties of Fenglin Continent, and the Xuanjiao disciples in the cabinet county let the fungus people under them pass the news to Xiao Shizhu.
Xiao Shizhu, who was far away in Junzi Harbor in Dongyizhou, was sitting on the edge of the harbor fort fishing. The rare good weather, the Xudu army did not call, and the Xiazhou national army did not come to bother him, just let him be idle and leisurely.
Today's Junzi Port and Heisong Island are even more impregnable than when they were under the jurisdiction of Xiazhou State. The majestic and sturdy two-story mountain fort can be seen everywhere, which is not only protected from wind and rain, but also enhances the defensive nature of the fort. On the cliffs on both sides of the harbor, many of the hidden bunkers were excavated, and from the outside, there was nothing to be seen except the hidden cannon holes between the rocks. But in wartime, the artillery in the bunker can fire outward from the cannon hole, taking the enemy by surprise.
Others are shooting black guns, but Xiao Shizhu's hand can let the fort fight black guns. Before the cannon was fired, the enemy who dared to attack could not have dreamed that behind those hard rock walls there were deadly cannons.
Behind the low wall near the sea on the top of the fort, a heavenly thunder cannon and a poisonous fire god cannon stood behind the low wall, and the pitch-black muzzle stretched out from the cannon hole on the wall, glaring at the Huangquan Sea in front of it, and the mighty and unyielding posture intimidated the ocean.
After listening to Shenji's voice and finish talking about this, Xiao Shizhu sighed slightly and praised: "This female is a ghost, she can also think of such a way to damage." No wonder over the years, there has been a great fanfare in the Xiong Kingdom to expand its territory, and many small ghost countries in Fenglin Continent have since disappeared, it turned out that Ji Xuanyuan still had such a treasure. ”。
The salty, bloody and stench of the Yellow Springs Sea breeze blew in and made the black pine trees on both sides of the fort tremble, and large black pine needles shook off the treetops, and after a few spins in mid-air with the sea breeze, they fell to the ground.
Xiao Shizhu's face was filled with a little admiration.
The minister also thinks that this human soul named Nulu is very smart. Shen Ji, who was sitting on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, bowed his head slightly: "Maybe we can use this trick of hers when we deal with the Xudu army." ”。
"She didn't work after using it. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently and confidently analyzed for Shen Ji and said: "With my understanding of Emperor Xudu, after learning about this, he will order that all the Xudu troops can fire at his portrait without hesitation if they encounter such a situation. In order to ensure victory, Emperor Xudu would not be stupid enough to make his subordinates foolish and loyal to his portrait. ”。
Shen Ji was stunned and thought for a moment, and replied indifferently: "Yes." ”。
"Well, this piracy of other people's technology will only, and we have to see if it can be useful. After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu threw the fishing rod in his hand aside, and immediately put on an irritable look, and shouted impatiently: "There are no living creatures in this broken Huangquan sea, so I won't fish." ”。
"The minister said a good thing, so that the lord will be happy and happy. Seeing this, Shen Ji smiled, stroked the wisp of beard under his chin, lowered his voice a little, and pretended to say mysteriously: "Ji Kang is doing it in secret." ”。
"When?" the irritability on Xiao Shizhu's face immediately receded, revealing a look of joy and asked Shen Ji urgently.
"It was the night before yesterday. Shen Ji blurted out.
"The Mother of the Nation has issued a secret order, and everything will continue according to your plan. After a pause, Shen Ji continued: "And Ji Kang didn't know that he had been fooled, he was really arrogant." ”。
"Of course he wouldn't know. Xiao Shizhu stared at the layers of turbulent waves under the treadmill, shouting and surging from afar, slapping on the reef in the sea under the treadmill, shattering into countless splashes.
His loyalty to Emperor Xudu and the Northern Yin Dynasty made him want to make meritorious contributions so much, and such an urgent mood would only make his eyes blind to some things. Xiao Shizhu slowly lowered his rolled up sleeves, and then said lightly: "If he is earnest, he will ignore everything else, not to mention that Emperor Xudu has committed a big taboo, that is, Ji Kang has not received professional training as a spy at all." This professional quality is not very strong, so he sent to steal information, and I wonder if he made the decision to make this move because he was too drunk and drunk. ”。
When he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu's gaze became deep, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned with the sea breeze were a little treacherous. Next, he wanted to know how Ji Kang contacted Emperor Xudu, and then replaced the other party with a fake Ji Kang.
"But it's good news. After a while, when Xiao Shizhu bowed slightly, he stood up with a pestle on the ground and asked, "Is my wife okay?"
"Well, that's good. News from the national teacher, the mother of the country and your child are healthy. After Shen Ji finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu had already turned around and walked towards the bottom of the fort.
Along the way, the road is lined with thick black pines with tree trunks. Under the sea breeze, these green and straight blacks sway gently and vibrantly.
"That's good, tell my wife to pay attention to her body and leave some things to Xiao Fuling's little cub to do. She shouldn't be too tired, I don't want her body to be worn out by exertion. Saying this, Xiao Shizhu took Shenji to the military camp in Hong Kong, and went straight to his big tent.
When I arrived at the tent door, I saw a big-headed ghost with blue skin on his body and twice the size of an ordinary ghost's head, waiting by the door.
This kind of human soul has a big head, and the body is short and fat without exception, no matter how you lose weight, it is impossible to lose weight, let alone let this kind of human soul grow eight-pack abs. But although they are not in good shape, the big heads are not decorations. This kind of human soul thinks about problems very comprehensively, so in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they serve as strategists in the court to advise Xiao Shizhu. In the army, they are all military advisers such as staff officers.
The one who was by the tent door at this time was the military advisor beside Xiao Shizhu at this time. I can't even remember what his name is, but I remember that since he followed Xiao Shizhu, he has affectionately called this big-headed ghost Datou.
"Big head, what makes you happy. Xiao Shizhu's eyes swept away on his face, and when he saw that the flesh on the big smiling face trembled, and his already slender little eyes narrowed into a slit, he said, "Let's talk in the tent." He walked past the big head and went straight to the tent.
Shen Ji jumped off his shoulder, bowed and left on his own, while the big-headed ghost was still smiling and followed Xiao Shizhu into the big tent.
"Sit down. Xiao Shizhu sat down cross-legged on the felt cloth by the fire pond in the tent, and after receiving the hot tea from the ghosts who were waiting for him in the tent, he motioned for them to retreat.
"The King. The big head sitting opposite him, carrying the hot tea that had just been brewed, waited until he stepped back left and right before slowly speaking: "The fool King of Xiazhou has made a stupid decision, and the time has come for my country to annex Xiazhou." ”。
"How to say. Xiao Shizhu calmly blew the hot air in his cup, and asked leisurely.
Xiao Shizhu has always been very clear about one thing, in the human world, manpower is everything, and in the underworld, ghosts are everything. The battle for hegemony is not to slaughter, but to rob more ghosts and land, so he besieged but did not attack just waiting for the king of Xiazhou to take the initiative to become a vassal. This can not only reduce the casualties of his soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but also prevent it from becoming a ghostless wasteland after the Xia Zhou Kingdom is annexed.
After all, ghosts live in the underworld, a thousand years old, aging slowly and postponing death. It doesn't matter if he can fight for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, as long as the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom still exists and is constantly improving, he can afford to wait, and there is no need to rush it at all.
But he waited for his return, but the king of Xiazhou has always been a peace negotiation for land reparations, and never talked to him about the surrender of his ministers, even though the coastline was blocked and the country was short of materials, the king of Xiazhou was still dying.
However, Xiao Shizhu saw the excitement in the smile of the big head, presumably something had happened in Xiazhou Guozhong.
"The king of Xiazhou abandoned the city in the second half of yesterday night and went north. Then, the big head replied with a smile.
