The night was like ink, and the sea of Huangquan, with a faint fishy smell, was pitch black. The mighty Nine Shadows Nation fleet extinguished all the lights on the deck, blended with the night, and then stopped on the sea twenty-five miles south of Haigu Mountain.

The sailors silently carried the ammunition and arranged the ship's artillery.

The co-workers stood in the command room of their flagship, looking around at the ghosts in front of them. His gaze slowly moved from the black impermanence Fan Wuxi, who was closest to him, to Lin Cong and Yu Rong behind him, and then from Yu Rong's body to the back.

When he swept all the ghosts in the command room with his eyes, the co-worker coughed and cleared his throat, picked up the bamboo pole and turned around to point to the map hanging on the wall behind him, and said aloud to the ghosts: "Everyone, the battle to attack and occupy Dongyi is about to start, we have to fight as originally planned; After rescuing our army's Neiying Zhuhai, they continued to attack the mountain defense facilities. ”。

"No. Yu Rong replied and nodded.

"At the same time, the sailors rushed into the bay with my flagship, and the air cavalry immediately set out to attack the harbor, and the boat ghosts and mermaids will cooperate with you in raiding the warships in the harbor. Speaking of this, Gonggong moved his gaze to the beautiful and dignified Sanmiao female ghost opposite Yu Rong.

The female ghost, dressed in a navy blue right blouse and a black pleated skirt, with a curved scimitar with a bone handle hanging from the back of her waist, also looked at Gonggong with her large, charming and touching dark eyes.

Her name is Du Laou, and she is Bodongha's niece, and she is also the air cavalry commander of the Nine Shadows Army that attacked Dongyi Continent this time. Don't look at her petite and exquisite, her appearance is also dignified and beautiful, and she is full of the appearance and temperament of a small jasper, but she is actually a female general who has experienced a hundred battles.

Long before the Three Miao Ghosts and Yunmengzhou were merged into the Nine Shadows Kingdom, Dulaou was already a famous hammer in Yunmengzhou. And he also once commanded Sanmiao's Hundred Illusion Butterfly Sky Cavalry to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and also suppressed the rebellion in Yunmengzhou.

This time, she was able to participate in the Eastern Crusade, firstly, because the original air cavalry generals of the Nine Shadows Country, Ying Zhao Zuo Fan and other ghosts who were good at air combat were scattered in the border fortresses of various parts of the country;

Dulau nodded and spoke, letting out a delicate voice: "Obey the orders of the Grand Overseer." ”。

"Hmm. Gonggong also nodded, then looked at Lin Cong and said, "Lord Lin's infantry took advantage of the chaos to rush off the boat, and quickly occupied Shanwan after landing. ”。

"Our sailors then turned around and attacked the islands around Haigu Mountain in the bay, and at the same time cooperated with the Flying Army to attack Haigu Mountain. After a pause, the co-workers looked around at the ghosts present, and said solemnly: "I hope you will work together to fight against the enemy and strive to conquer the mountain bay at dawn." ”。

"No!" the other ghosts heard this, and they all responded in unison.

Just as the response was on the ground, a sentry shouted from outside the door of the combat command room: "Governor, generals and lords, there is a fire in the south of Haigu Mountain!"

This is the signal, Zhu Hai with the signal that they have not yet easily transported to the island *and* released.

Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the co-worker, and after waving his hand to the ghosts, he said excitedly: "Everyone, prepare to attack!" ......

The calf pass under the stars is exceptionally quiet.

Most of the Xudu troops stationed in the pass had already fallen asleep, and there were only patrols patrolling back and forth and sentry posts scattered in various places, and they had not yet fallen asleep.

In the tranquility, in the ordnance workshop under the city wall north of the Baoqian Pass, dozens of craftsmen who had not yet rested were according to the drawings and recipes handed to them by Gong Mingyi a few days ago, waving the tools in their hands, clanging and knocking.

What they're doing is a dragon lance.

Since Gong Mingyi came here with Zongtian, he has moved part of the granary and armory, as well as the workshop for making weapons, to the underground.

This will not only allow the pass to build more fortifications, but also prevent the granaries and armories from being affected when the pass is attacked.

At the same time, many craftsmen were also summoned from the black market by him with a lot of money, and all of them were craftsmen who made firearms. In just half a year, not only the calf pass was rebuilt, but also the weapons equipped by the defenders here became diverse.

Under the guidance of Gong Mingyi, Zong Tian and other veterans of the Northern Yin Dynasty were no longer obsessed with divine arts, and they also attached importance to advanced weapons such as firearms. So much so that the local garrison can achieve three-eyed guns and five-eyed guns, and each battalion is also equipped with ten tiger squat cannons and ten flint cannons.

And on the pass, a general cannon that is more than three feet long and weighs several hundred catties has also been erected. Although compared to the various firearms in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it still seems backward. But in this way, even if the Nine Shadows Kingdom raided this pass again, it would not dare to swagger the warship to the coast.

At this time, Gong Mingyi was also sitting in the workshop, holding a teacup and looking at Erlang's legs, staring at the craftsmen in front of him who were working hard to build weapons.

As long as he has the fire dragon spear, the Xudu army can be like a tiger, and for Gong Mingyi, the revenge he dreamed of will be one step closer.

"Your Excellency. After a while, an old craftsman held a finished dragon spear in his hand, walked slowly in front of him, handed the dragon spear in his hand to Gong Mingyi, and said in a hoarse voice: "The dragon spear has been completed, and the appearance and performance of the original dragon spear handed over to us by Hai Laoweng are exactly the same, please take a look at it." ”。

Hai Lao Weng is the soul of the person who presented the fire dragon spear to Zong Tian on the school field a few days ago.

Gong Mingyi, who took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the teacup in his hand, took the musket without saying a word, looked at it, and said lightly: "Take the fire bomb." ”。

After speaking, he stood up with a musket in his hand.

After the old craftsman answered, he turned around and fetched two or three fire bombs and handed them to Gong Mingyi.

I saw that Gong Mingyi couldn't help but open the long hole on the barrel, put a fire bullet into it, and put the others into his sleeve, and walked towards the outside of the workshop without saying a word.

The craftsmen who were left stunned in place looked at each other in a daze, but they didn't know what Gong Mingyi was going to do with muskets and bullets?

Just after walking out of the workshop, Gong Mingyi turned around and strode towards the school field.

When he came to the empty school yard at night, he saw a drunken Ji Kang walking towards him.

Gong Mingyi ignored him, and Ji Kang ignored Gong Mingyi. After the two ghosts passed by, Ji Kang staggered in the direction of his residence. And Gong Mingyi, who scolded Ji Kang in his heart, walked quickly to the middle of the school field and stood still.

Ji Kang looked down on Gong Mingyi, a sleek and conspiracy-filled ghost, and Gong Mingyi didn't look down on a self-righteous old ghost like Ji Kang; although the two ghosts were colleagues, they were not speculative.

After taking the starlight in the dark night, he raised the firearm in his hand and aimed at the wooden stake on the south side of the school field, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

After a bang, the muzzle of the gun burst into flames, and the fireballs flew out and roared forward, straight to the wooden stakes. In the blink of an eye, the fire bomb slammed into the wooden stake, sending a scorching flame into the air.

The flames rose from the jumping stakes of the wooden figures, and a look of satisfaction gradually appeared in Gong Mingyi's eyes.

The dragon spear was finally completed, and in the future, it could be mass-produced and distributed to every Xudu army. In battle, the Xudu army can first fight the dragon gun, and after killing the enemy with the flames of the fire bullets in an instant, they can use cold weapons to wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

Thinking of this, Gong Mingyi saw that he was commanding thousands of troops and horses, and all ghosts were holding fire dragon spears, sweeping through the majestic scene of the Nine Shadows Country.

After a moment of excitement, Gong Mingyi turned around with a musket in his hand and strode towards the outside of the school grounds.

It is not enough to have the fire dragon spear, but also to kill the sea old man, in order to ensure that the manufacturing technology of the fire dragon gun does not leak to other countries, especially the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they must not be allowed to obtain the technology of the fire dragon lance.

Gong Mingyi, who was walking briskly in the dark night, only walked for half a cup of tea, and came to a tent that was still lit up in the east of the calf pass.

In front, it is the place where the old man is placed.

Zong Tian was very naïve, believing that Hai Lao Weng would never run away until he got the money, so he did not send a sergeant to monitor Hai Lao Weng, nor did he arrange guards in front of Hai Laoweng's tent.

This allowed Gong Mingyi to easily enter Hai Laoweng's tent.

Gong Mingyi stood still in front of the tent, looked around left and right for a moment, and made sure that no ghost saw him come here in the night, and then walked quickly into the tent.

The moment the curtain was raised, Gong Mingyi's murderous aura, which was still full of murderous aura on his face, immediately turned into a smile containing sincerity.

Standing in the tent, he saw that the old man with slightly red cheeks was drinking wine leisurely and eating the broad beans brought to him by the sergeants.

It was also Gong Mingyi's expectation that Hai Laoweng did not fall asleep, and after getting along for a few days, he knew that the soul in front of him always liked to drink two sips, otherwise he would not be able to sleep.

Gong Mingyi was not frightened, but walked forward after smiling indifferently, sat down beside Hai Laoweng by himself, and said with a smile: "Hai Laoweng, the fire dragon gun you provided to the imperial court has been made, and the power is the same as the original fire gun you provided, and you can receive the silver tomorrow." ”。

Then he put the firearm in his hand on the table in front of him, and arched his hand to Hai Laoweng: "Congratulations, my husband, you are going to return home." In the future, if there are any powerful firearms, you must provide them to us. ”。

After finishing speaking, he stood up without saying anything, picked up the wine jug and poured the wine for Hai Laoweng.

When the unsuspecting Hai Lao Weng heard that he could take the money, he laughed excitedly, and then said again and again: "It must be." ”。

"Please drink this cup to the fullest. Gong Mingyi, who put down the wine jug, smiled kindly and made a gesture of please.

"This wine should be a tribute to you, Lord Gong. Excited, the joyful Hai Lao Weng raised his glass and stood up, handed the wine glass to his mouth, and then suddenly raised his head and drank it in a big gulp.

But he didn't see that when he raised his head, a cold light flashed in Gong Mingyi's sleeve, and a dagger with a cold blade slipped from it and was tightly held by Gong Mingyi.

Just as Hai Laoweng was about to finish drinking the big glass of wine, Gong Mingyi did not hesitate to wipe the dagger in his hand towards Hai Laoweng's neck.

A cold light suddenly appeared between the lightning and flint, and the sharp blade quickly slashed from left to right on the neck of the old man with the ghost head held high, and in an instant, a long red wound appeared on his neck with the splattering ghost blood.

Gong Mingyi, whose face was sprinkled with ghost blood, quickly withdrew the knife without hurrying, then grabbed the opponent's collar with his left hand, and suddenly handed out the dagger in his right hand, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the opponent's heart.

After stabbing in with a knife, he quickly pulled it out, and after retracting his hand, he suddenly handed it forward, and stabbed at Hai Lao Weng again.

In just a few breaths of effort, Gong Mingyi has already slashed dozens of knives on Hai Laoweng's body. It wasn't until the bleeding Hai Lao Weng was paralyzed that he stopped and let go of the collar he was holding.
