【531】Defeat of Both Sides (I)

Not only Xiao Shizhu, but even the Ghost Mother also hoped to cultivate Xiao Fuling into an excellent prince, the future wise saint lord of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

It is also to take this opportunity to break the thousand-year-old tradition of male superiority and inferiority of women in the underworld, so as to inform the ghosts of the ten continents in the world that female ghosts may not be inferior to male ghosts.

And since she wants to command a hundred ghosts, Xiao Fuling must understand politics and military affairs, and she must also work in scheming. Interrogating a stubborn prisoner is just a good opportunity for Xiao Fuling to intern.

And the ghost mother also reminded Xiao Fuling to disperse with five stones, which was actually telling her a kind of interrogation technique.

It is a drug that can make people and souls addicted, although demon spirits and beast souls are ineffective. Human history records that the Wushi Powder Prescription began with the Han people, and was first taken by He Yan of the Wei people. But in the underworld, some ghosts who are officials at the core of the Northern Yin Dynasty know that this is a long-planned conspiracy from Emperor Xudu.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms of the World, Emperor Xudu felt the need to continue to weaken the physique and IQ of the human soul, so he developed Wushisan. And let the ghost take this prescription to the world.

That's why Cao Cao's godson, He Yan, has this prescription.

The medicinal properties of Wushisan are dry and hot, which makes people warm up all over the body after taking it, and produces a short-term effect that confuses people's souls and minds, which is actually a phenomenon of chronic poisoning. But it can also be addictive, and before you know it, the five stones are scattered among the world.

As a result, the physique of the human soul has been greatly weakened, and the intelligence and lifespan have also been invisibly shortened by the toxin.

But Emperor Xudu didn't know much about the world, he ignored a huge problem, that is, the cost of Wushisan is too high, and ordinary people have worked very hard to get enough food and clothing.

Therefore, Wushisan was only popular among the upper class of high-ranking officials and nobles. After taking it, it is accompanied by a toxic attack, which produces a huge amount of internal heat, and the user must go out to disperse or scatter to dissipate heat, so there is a walk in the world after meals.

Despite this, Wushisan has been passed down for a long time, and many people who have taken Wushisan have a short life, and the IQ of his descendants has also decreased significantly. Until the Tang Dynasty, the doctor Sun Simiao appealed to the world: "When you encounter this party, you must burn it, and don't stay for a long time." Since then, there have been no five stones in the world, and Emperor Xudu's plan to weaken the human soul has been aborted.

It's just a pity that Ji Kang is an addict to Wushisan, and although the underworld explicitly prohibits the buying and selling of Wushisan, he still refines and takes it privately. This will lead to torture that may not make him speak, but in the case of drug addiction, the appearance of Wushisan can completely collapse his psychological defense.

Xiao Fuling is not only not a second ancestor like an embroidered pillow, but also very smart, and has been taught by her father Xiao Shizhu's long-term words and deeds, which also let her know what shamelessness and nobility cannot make you survive.

The ghost mother mentioned Wushisan, and she knew what she wanted her to do.

After silently nodding her head, Xiao Fuling slowly left with the thundercloud, and if her interrogation was successful, the ghosts of the Chacha Division would be in awe of her, which was another reason why the ghost mother sent her......

To the east of the fishing village north of Gentleman's Harbor, explosions continued on the hills, flames rising and rolling, devouring everything combustible on the slopes of the Gentlemen's Hill, turning the earth and stone on the ground to a charred black.

The warships of the Beiyin Water Division began to bombard the hilly slopes; the flying sand of ten thousand fires and the ghost fire cannons fired in unison, and the flames continued to pour out as the smoke of gunpowder rose from the muzzles, and the roaring cannonballs were as loud as thunderbolts, and the shells fell on the hillsides one after another.

Because the dark forts in these hills of the Nine Hidden Countries were hastily built more than a month before the war, and the quality of the project was really not flattering, so under the intensive artillery bombardment, many of the hidden forts had already broken and collapsed before they could be hit by a few cannons. Some of the bunkers were even hit head-on by enemy artillery, and the shells exploded after passing through the walls, which also ignited the shells of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the fort.

In an instant, the flames soared, and the rocks flew across the nine ghost armies in the castle, and before they could struggle and call for help, they were scorched black by the oncoming explosion and flames, and their bodies were shattered into a pile of broken flesh and bones with fire.

For a while, the firepower in the bunker decreased, and the infantry of the Xudu Army took the opportunity to move south, and in an instant, more than 10,000 soldiers escaped out of the range of the cannons of the bunker.

After all, there are not many of the Nine Shadows Kingdom buried on the road, and after sacrificing thousands of soldiers, there are countless craters of different sizes left on the road, and there is no threat to the lives of the Xudu Army.

The sea is also red like a rainbow, the fire bursts, and the explosion shoots out a sky-high heat wave and gunsmoke, covering the sky and the sun. Sparrowhawk commanded the warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and stepped up the bombardment of the Northern Yin Water Division.

The barrels of the guns on many warships were hot because of the rapid firing, and looking at the faintly red barrels, the artillerymen had to stop the bombardment and use the sea breeze to let the barrels cool down naturally.

Fortunately, the Falling Star Cannon of the Nine Shadows Country has been equipped on Sparrowhawk's sailor ship, exerting nothing but amazing firepower suppression. The Falling Star Cannon roared one after another, sending out shells and shooting at enemy ships in the distance.

The cannon fire of the falling star cannon was powerful, dazzling like fireworks, and it also tore the naval warships of the Northern Yin Dynasty into countless broken logs.

On the vast sea, the mighty Beiyin Water Division was surrounded by flames, and between the sea and the sky, only a red fire and black smoke rose everywhere.

Under the heart-rending scream, the Tailed Fire Tiger saw that the east wind was rising on the sea, and all the flags were fluttering to the west, and immediately ordered his own standard-bearer: "The rear team will ride the wind to the south and surround the fleet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom." The front team and the Chinese army stood by and continued to bombard the hills behind the village to ensure the smooth advance of the infantry to the south. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a cannonball coming at him. In a panic, the Tailed Fire Tiger hurriedly lay down and crawled on the deck, but he also clearly felt that there was a wave of heat passing over his head, scorching all the tiger hair on his head in an instant.

Immediately after, an earth-shattering explosion was heard behind him. The fiery broken log flew sideways and flew past his head at a rapid pace, smashing into the decks around him.

The ensuing scorching wave of air was incessant, and the tailed fire tiger not only did not dare to probe, but even the tiger tail behind the strand honestly clinged to the deck, and definitely did not dare to.

Such an embarrassment made him feel humiliated suddenly.

There were heavy casualties in the dark fort of the Nine Shadows Army, and hundreds of soldiers covered in blood lay dying in the rubble of the rubble, but the surviving sergeants had revenge. After watching the Dark Fort being bombarded, the gunners of the Nine Shadows Army quickly found the flagship of the Tailed Fire Tiger, this treasure ship with a handsome flag hanging high and waving in the wind, became their primary target.

There were at least two bunker guns, and at the same time aimed at the flagship of the Tailed Fire Tiger.

The next second, the cannonballs struck like a comet, whistling down and then exploding, the flames igniting the deck of the Fire-tailed Tiger's flagship, and the explosion tore at the hull.

Some of the shells missed and landed in the sea around the hull, and when they landed, the snow foamed and the sea was like a huge wall overturning. The water splashed wildly, blurring the vision of the sailors on the flagship.

The flames that sputtered after the poisonous fire cannon exploded, like a fire dragon with teeth and claws on the deck, spread unscrupulously. But in the blink of an eye, flames could be seen everywhere on the flagship of the Tailed Fire Tiger, scorching the planks of the ship, leaping high and licking the sails hanging from the mast.

The violent explosion brought by the thunder cannon tore the sailors apart, and when it overturned the ship's guns, the lightning burst out spread rapidly in all directions, leaving a thousand holes on the deck of the flagship.

For a time, the flagship of the Tailed Fire Tiger in the middle of the ship formation was thunder and lightning at the same time, and the fire and gunpowder were dancing wildly. In the panic, the surviving sailors could be seen rushing to the side of the ship under cannon fire, putting down buckets in the smoke of gunfire, and scrambling to fetch water from the sea to extinguish the fire.

Whether it is the Xudu Army or the Jiuyou Army, they have already suffered heavy casualties, and this battle has only been two quarters of an hour since the start of the battle, but both sides have been defeated.

The Beiyin Naval Division relied on the number of warships in the fleet, as well as the size of the newly built artillery and warships, to persist in the battle, while the Jiuyou Army relied on their advanced firearms and firm belief to still fight the enemy.

The pungent and rich blood permeated around this small fishing village and lasted for a long time. The roar of artillery fire and the roar of gunfire, as well as the constant screams and *, all tell the cruelty and hysteria of war to every ghost soldier who participates in the war.

The dead are liberated, but the living are tortured, and the surviving ghost soldiers can't even have time to remember their fallen comrades. Their eyes were fixed on their enemies. And the weapons in their hands are also constantly firing, using flames and explosions to turn the fishing village and its vicinity into a real hell.

After the landed Xudu Army, after working together to deal with the poisonous snakes everywhere in the fishing village, they continued to take advantage of the attention of the Dark Fortress, and most of them focused on the Beiyang Fleet with the sailors, and the cat's waist went south.

It was only soon that they discovered that the smoothness of the road was not permanent.

Just when tens of thousands of their troops had already escaped from the artillery range of the dark fortress, behind the grass and trees on the top of those hills, thousands of ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom armed with rainstorm guns suddenly stood up.

Most of these ghost soldiers were disgraced, and some of them were even covered in blood, and their armor was in tatters, making them even more hideous.

Most of them were in the dark fort, and the soldiers who had been bombarded for a long time with the artillery of the Northern Yin Water Division survived the destruction of the dark fort, and hurriedly followed out of the dark fort and came to the top of the mountain to prepare to ambush the enemy.

More are the sergeants who hibernated on the top of the mountain from the beginning.

During the artillery bombardment of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they had been dormant, waiting for the best opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the infantry of the Xudu Army under the hills.

Some of them were even killed by stray bullets during the shelling. Many of them were wounded by the shells, but all the while, these bloodied ghost soldiers not only did not move, but also did not snort or scream.

But they would rather die themselves than expose their targets before the ambush began.

And now, all the infantry of the Xudu Army has landed, and the surviving ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are about to use the fire guns in their hands to avenge their dead companions.

They rushed down from the top of the mountain, and quickly lined up on the slope of the hill more than a hundred feet from the foot of the mountain, and the rain guns in their hands were already aimed at the enemy troops below the mountain.

The next second later, the gunfire came as scheduled under the consternation of the Xudu army, and the rainstorm-like sub-guns shot forward, like dense raindrops, with a roar towards the Xudu army under the mountain. In an instant, Zi Gong pierced through the shield armor of the Xudu army, and flew out from the other side with the flesh and blood of the Xudu army.

Nearly 10,000 ghost soldiers died in just a few breaths.

However, the fear and bad luck did not end there, and soon they found the Nine Shadows Army on the mountain, rolling down a lot of barrels towards them.
