In Manjiang City, where the war is approaching, there is not the slightest panic and panic, and every ghost is doing his own thing, and doing himself may be the last thing in front of him.

They are not afraid of a mighty enemy who is about to arrive under the city. It's just that Xiao Shizhu didn't leave them and escaped, which gave them infinite courage and faith. Whether it is a soldier or a civilian, all the ghosts left in the city have thought about the personnel, and after doing everything that needs to be done, the rest depends on the destiny of heaven.

In the palace city, Shen Ji left in response, and Xiao Shizhu also walked slowly to the door of the main hall, looking at the distant sky in the north. He could clearly see that the rich ghost aura was rising under the sky, and after converging in the air, it dyed the edge of the sky black with a great tendency of wind and rain.

There was no need to send scouts to investigate, Xiao Shizhu also knew that it was emanating from a large number of murderous ghost soldiers.

He stood in front of the door with the hilt of his sword in his hand, looking at the dark sky for a long time, and there was still no fear on his face. I heard that the close ministers of the Emperor Xudu were also among them, and Xiao Shizhu wanted to meet this ghost for a while.

Looking at the dark sky, Xiao Shizhu couldn't wait.

At this moment, Zuo Fan led all the battalion generals of the defenders in the city towards him. Xiao Shizhu immediately turned around, strode into the main hall, and stood in front of the sand table in it.

The sand table was made temporarily, and sand and stones were used to pile up the terrain and landform of Manjiang City and the vicinity of Manjiang City, within a radius of fifty miles.

After Xiao Shizhu stood still in the north of the sand table, Zuo Fan and the other ghost generals also entered the empty hall. The war is coming, except for the two guards at the gate of this palace, there is not even a palace person, and all unnecessary idlers are all transferred by Xiao Shizhu to build and consolidate the defensive offensive.

After Zuo Fan and the other ghost generals saluted Xiao Shizhu, they all gathered around the sand table and stood solemnly. But no one spoke, including Xiao Shizhu himself, who just stared at the sand table in front of him and remained silent.

The atmosphere in the main hall was inevitably a little heavy and depressing. Every ghost general present, regardless of rank, knew what they were going to face. Now, the strongest ghost soldiers who once swept across the ten continents of the underworld and crisscrossed the six seas are about to come to the city, and there are quite a few of them. For all the ghosts in Manjiang City, whether it is in the main hall or other ghosts outside the hall, only by defeating the enemy can they go back alive. Other than that, they have no other way!

But they also know that whether they live or die, this will be the most glorious battle of their lives. Not only because they have the opportunity to compete with the invincible Xudu army, but also because they can fight side by side with the legendary son of the gods, Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, who has never abandoned their lord.

If they survive, they will have a good blow with their children and grandchildren, and their neighbors in the future. Such as "I want to think about the past, Lao Tzu and the King of the Nine Shadows had the same hatred and hatred, and they worked together to kill the enemy." If so, it will become one of their lifelong pride and proud capital.

"Are you nervous?" After a long time, Xiao Shizhu raised his head and looked around at the ghost generals, finally showing his first smile today.

The sword has no eyes, Xiao Shizhu knows it. He even knew that after today's meeting, many of these ghosts would come to the end of their lives. In the future, all they left behind was a tombstone and a mound of clothes, and he didn't want his excellent subordinates to go to the battlefield with a heavy heart.

"Not nervous. Zuo Fan and the other ghosts replied with a mouthful of nonsense.

"Hell if you're not nervous. Xiao Shizhu laughed, feeling very relieved in his heart, under the look of Fang Cai, he saw that there was fearlessness, firmness, pride and even excitement in the faces of the generals, but he did not see fear and panic.

This is the army he wants, with advanced military weapons and equipment, but also with firm beliefs.

"I'm nervous. Then, he joked: "The old ghost of Xudu gives me too much face, and millions of troops come to attack the city at every turn, and the number of sergeants is not exaggerated by the historian's beard." They came from afar so 'enthusiastic' and couldn't wait for us to die, so how could we not be 'hospitable'. I've been thinking about it, braised pork knuckle and vinegared fat sausage or something, the Xudu army must not be used to eating it, but our cannonballs are probably their favorite. How can I use these things to give them a grand artillery feast, which has always been a problem for me. This thought, a little unsatisfactory, I became nervous, and I felt too sorry for the enemy's 'enthusiasm'. ”。

"So. Xiao Shizhu then set his eyes on the ghost generals, and on Ji Yan's face, he asked leisurely: "Have you laid out all the * that Ji Yan asked you to arrange outside the city?"

"Of course, the 120,000* pieces that Lord Lin brought in batches were divided into four, and they were all arranged on all sides of the city, within a radius of five miles. Ji Yan nodded his head and replied in a sonorous tone.

"Very good, your 'appetizer' will definitely make the Xudu Army refreshed. Xiao Shizhu looked at his face for a moment, and when he put away his smile, he looked around at the main general again, and said loudly: "The army of Xudu is coming, the arrogance is already very arrogant, if you don't give them a little bit of power, it will only destroy our prestige and grow their arrogance, my Nine Shadows Kingdom has only been open for more than ten years, but it can still sweep the strong enemies around, and the millions of Xudu troops are nothing, let the other ghosts in the underworld also see, how we beat them!"

"The plan remains the same, * after the start of the battle, the head of the city shells the enemy troops. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu gave his first order to the generals: "Then the cavalry went out of the city, and the infantry lined up in the rear, charging and killing the enemy under the cover of artillery fire. ”。

"No!" the generals looked solemn when they boarded, and they all bowed their hands to receive the order.

"All the officials were arrested, and the pavilion chief Li Zheng led the newly formed militia in the city to patrol the streets with knives and guns. Subsequently, Xiao Shizhu issued a second order: "Anyone who loses his armor, who retreats in battle in a cowardly battle, and who spreads rumors to shake the morale of the army, will be killed!"

These words just landed, and everyone was shocked. All the ghost generals present, except for Zuo Fan, a veteran who followed Xiao Shizhu and fought all the way from Shuoyue Island to the land of the two continents of the Nine Hidden Countries today, were all surprised. They never expected that this King of the Nine Shadows, who looked beautiful and delicate, always giggled and laughed on weekdays, and was full of ruffianism, was so strong, and the military orders were so strict that they had never heard of before, and even Zhu Hai, who started killing people when he was in the yang world, felt a little frightened.

Outside the hall, the wind was fierce, like a raging dragon with teeth and claws, and it was like a god who wanted to devour everything between heaven and earth. It also blew the flags of the Nine Shadows Kingdom outside the main hall, and the sound was heard clearly in the hall.

The generals held their breath, their eyes fell on Xiao Shizhu's face, and they didn't move away for a long time.

But before they could recover from their astonishment, Xiao Shizhu's majestic and heavy voice echoed in the main hall again: "Let's assign the six guards. ”。

There are six gates in Manjiang City, two in the east and one in the south and one in the north and south. The south gate and the north gate, which is the water gate in the center, have a gate on each side, so that these two sides can enter the city by land and water. Because of this, the north and south gates are the top priority.

Once the enemy army attacks, these two gates can allow the enemy army to advance by land and water, and the defensive pressure will inevitably be not small. Before Xiao Shizhu's words came out, the generals held their breath again.

"South Gate, Zuo Fan!" Xiao Shizhu paused and continued: "The Northeast Gate and the Northwest Gate, Zhu Hai and Ji Yan. ”。

"No. Zuo Fan, Zhu Hai, and Ji Yan hurriedly surrendered their hands in response.

"Southeast Gate Feather Flower. Then Xiao Shizhu turned his head slightly and looked at the female ghost of Yumin beside Zuo Fan. This ghost is Yu Rong's sister.,But it's not a kiss but a hall.。

In the Nine Shadows Country, where female generals are like clouds, there are many female generals who can fight, such as Xia Xing Qiushuang and Spring Cold Chunyun, as well as Su Su of Su Tianju, Sparrowhawk of Daoshan Island and Thrush on the Howling Wind Plain, etc., all of whom can fight well. Obviously, the feather flower who just graduated from the school palace is not so conspicuous.

Xiao Shizhu actually handed over a guard to the other party, which surprised all the ghosts present again, and flattered Yuhua.

After Xiao Shizhu cast a trusting gaze at her, he slowly moved his gaze away and landed on the Hercules Mountain Ghost standing under the feather flower, and then said slowly: "The southwest gate will be handed over to you Ghost Owl." ”。

This bald Hercules ghost, after looking up and wiping his bald head, did not hesitate to agree.

However, Xiao Shizhu's delay in announcing the North Gate Guard still made everyone present curious, and they all fell on the sand table, the north of Manjiang City.

All the ghosts present have rich knowledge of military theory, and more than half of them have rich practical experience, and they all know that the enemy army is coming from the north, and the main army will definitely go straight to the north gate.

Once a war starts, this is the first place to start a battle, and it is also bound to be the fiercest battlefield. From this point of view, the position of the guard of the north gate is really not a good errand.

The ghosts did not wait long in Xiao Shizhu's suddenness, and soon, the Nine Shadows King said the guard of the north: "North Gate, Xiao Shizhu!".

He slowly raised his head, and looked around at each ghost with a firm gaze amid the suspicious gaze of many ghost generals, so as to tell them that he was not saying this to liven up the atmosphere and eliminate the tense joke.

As early as when he made the plan, he had already thought about letting himself guard the north gate, which was a decision that thunder could not shake.

"Lord, this is too dangerous; according to the intelligence, the enemy is coming at you, and you are still in charge of the Chinese army, commanding the overall ......" After a short period of surprise, Zuo Fan took the lead in stepping forward and shouted loudly.

But before he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu had already raised his hand to interrupt his words, and said categorically: "Yes, it is precisely because the enemy is from me that I go to the north gate." If I am at the north gate, I will be able to contain a large number of enemy troops, so that the pressure on the other five gates will naturally be weakened a lot. ”。

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind. Then, Xiao Shizhu said: "I have a dream, that is, to be able to personally compete with the Xudu army, and go into battle shirtless to kill them without leaving a piece of armor." If you say more, it will hinder my dreams. The matter was so happily decided, and the guard of the north gate was none other than me. ”。

Hearing these firm and murderous words, the ghosts seemed to see a Nine Shadows King who they didn't know. Just yesterday, this Hades King was still a giggle, after eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping, when he went to various parts of the city to inspect the city defense and sergeant training, he also spoke softly, and always maintained a calm and friendly smile on his face.

And at this moment, the Xiao Shizhu they saw was still calm and calm, but he was also decisive and stern, fearless, in addition to the cunning that was not difficult to see in the past, there was also this trace of killing intent, lingering in it, which was enough to make the ghosts fearful.
