The sharp gaze that burst out of Ji Meng's eyes, after sweeping the south of Youxiong Country on the sheepskin map, raised his hand and pointed to a sand beam on the map, a sand beam in the east of the north of the lifeless beach, and said categorically to the ghost general who followed closely: "I will give you 50,000 ghost soldiers, you go with the Ma Shou army, and go here to camp together." It must be mainly defensive, supplemented by attack and harassment. ”。

The ghost general looked fixedly, and there was a little admiration on his face behind the mask.

Ji Meng's finger is next to the three cities on the border south of Youxiong Country, and stationing a large army here is equivalent to piercing a steel knife in the heart of the army of Youxiong Country's subordinates in the south.

Not only can you hit one of these large armies of the Bear Country coming south, but you can also cut off the east-west exchanges of the Bear Army during the attack. Once a two-front war breaks out, it will inevitably be difficult for the Xiong National Army to be left and right.

The army in this place can advance eastward or westward, and cooperate with the two lines of army to encircle the army on either side of the southern border of the bear country.

Next, Ji Meng's finger gently drew a circle around the sand beam pointed to on the map, enclosing the three cities in the shape of an inverted triangle on the border of Youxiong Country, and then said: "Although you can only attack within this range when you attack, you must only attack and harass, and try to create large-scale destruction, so that the Youxiong Country will be in a dilemma that it is difficult for things to support each other on the southern border." It is better to attract the army on the southern border of the bear country to come to the rescue of these three cities, and you can withdraw as soon as they come, and you can enter again as soon as they leave. ”。

"No. The ghost general responded, and Ji Meng also said: "After you are stationed in this area, I will lead the main force to the north and preemptively attack the Western Front Army of the Bear Country, so as to catch Ji Xuanyuan off guard." ”。

All in all, he will never sit still, and he must take the initiative to grasp the opportunity.

"Has the restructuring of the Ma Shou Army been completed?" After the arrangement was completed, Ji Meng slowly turned around, and the killing intent on his face had subsided cleanly.

Although there are many ghost countries in the underworld, only the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Ghost Mother Country have a military system before. The ghost mother country is small, and the Weifu system used at that time, the standing army is only sixteen guards, and more soldiers will be recruited in wartime. Then the ghost mother country became the Nine Shadows Country, Wu Qiu Shou thought that the Nine Shadows Kingdom to compete with the Northern Yin Dynasty, there must be a rule for everything; Expand the standing army from 16 guards to one hundred and eight armies and five water divisions that only the Nine Shadow King and the Ghost Mother have the right to command and mobilize.

In today's underworld, the ghost kingdoms with specific military systems naturally only have the Nine Ghost Kingdoms and the Northern Yin Dynasty, and the other ghost kingdoms do not have specific military systems.

Ma Shouguo has already accepted Zhao'an, and the army in the country will be restructured according to the military system of the Beiyin Dynasty; with five ghosts as a team and a captain, ten ghosts as a team and a chief, fifty ghosts as a team and a captain, a hundred ghosts and a tun with a tun, 200 ghosts as a song and a military marquis, and a thousand ghosts as a ghost general. And the hundred divisions formed a division, with a total of 100,000 ghost soldiers in the whole division, and a Yin commander commanded it.

Of course, some Yin Shuai holds the special order of Emperor Xudu, and his subordinates can also command several or even dozens of ghost masters.

Today's Ji Meng has three ghost masters. After Ji Meng arrived here, the first thing he did was to break up the original Ma Shou army first, and then reorganize it according to this system.

"The restructuring was completed yesterday. "The ghost will return.

"You distribute the firearms I brought, and then bring a division of Ma Shoujun to go. His Majesty said that they do not need to be incorporated into the Xudu Army for the time being, and they can retain the number of the Mashou Army, but their equipment must be as sophisticated as that of the Xudu Army. Ji Meng, who slowly paced to the back of the handsome case and sat down, said thoughtfully: "Otherwise, with twice the number of troops, you won't be able to defeat the army of the bear country." ”。

"Aren't you afraid that they will rebel?" the lieutenant general was a little surprised, and hurriedly opened his mouth at the moment, and asked very suspiciously.

"Don't be afraid, now that they have accepted Zhao'an, we are already ghosts all the way. Ji Meng smiled disappre一门ly, waved his hand, and said slowly: "And the Ma Shou Army and the Youxiong Army have a deep grudge, they wish we took them and killed the Youxiong National Army without leaving a piece of armor." ”......

In Yunmengzhou, which is only separated from Xuanyan Continent by a bottomless trench, there is a Xinyu County.

This county, located in the southwest of Yunmengzhou, is short from east to west and long from north to south, and is a county with relatively few lakes in Yunmengzhou. Most of the mountains in the county are towering mountains, and you can see them running east-west everywhere, and the ridges run through the county. The terrain in the mountains is very rugged, and there are small valleys and basins scattered between the mountains, and many of them are long rivers that meander through them.

Most of the cavalry mounts of the three Miao ghosts, the Rock Fire Bear, are produced in this county.

Now that Yunmengzhou is in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the Tai Code of this county is held by Shi Ben's younger brother Shi Zhen. Although this ghost is a bulky stone ghost, he has a lively mind and acts decisively. And although he has a heart of stone, he is sympathetic to the ghost people, and does his best to rectify the local officials and law and order, and governs this Xinyu County in an orderly manner.

Under the rule of Xinyu County, all industries are naturally prosperous, and the ghost people are also living and working in peace and contentment, and the reserve of grain and materials has doubled within a year. Xiao Shizhu called this county the southern warehouse of the Nine Shadows Country.

After Xiao Shizhu's shrine left Ganqi City, he walked for half a month and arrived at the Ghost Cry Beach, and then after boarding the ship at the Ghost Cry Beach, he went straight to Xinyu County.

Fortunately, the development of the Nine Shadows Country is not slow, and Yunmengzhou has also built official roads that extend in all directions, opening tunnels in the mountains, and building bridges in the rivers, otherwise the bulky gods will not be able to walk for a few days in Xinyu County, where the terrain is very rugged, and the beast souls that pull the gods or the few strong mountain ghosts who carry the gods will be exhausted to death.

On this day, the sky was only slightly bright, and the thin white morning mist had not completely dispersed, and Xiao Shizhu's shrine stopped at the southwest outside Ningjiang City, the county capital of Xinyu County.

This is a long bag-shaped Ningjiang city wide in the south and narrow in the north, located in the west of the lake called Bailu Lake in Xinyu County, the negative mountain controls the sea and the situation is precipitous, this city is surrounded by water on three sides and one side is against the mountain, and there is a Ningjiang River flowing out of the Danya Mountain on which the city depends, and it crosses from the city and then flows into the Bailu Lake, dividing the whole city into two parts that can be north and south.

In the morning mist, Xiao Shizhu stood in the corridor outside the shrine and looked out by the railing, only to see the clouds and smoke in the middle of the Ningjiang City covered by the mist not far away, and the inner hall pavilion was full of clouds, floating and shining gold. The ancient cypress on the side of the city wall, which is made of a mixture of earth and stone, smiles and the willows are blowing.

"The clouds and mist of Yunmengzhou can be called a unique in the underworld, and the daily fog-free time of the year is only three or two hours, and the yin qi in this fog is rich, which makes the ghosts refreshed when they breathe and breathe, and it is really a place suitable for ghosts to live. The ghost mother walked over and stood beside Xiao Shizhu and said slowly.

After speaking, she straightened her arms and stretched comfortably.

"The ghost fog in Xiaoyu Mountain City is also good, and I am full of energy every day when I am in Xiaoyu Mountain City. After Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly, his eyes suddenly increased for a few moments, and he sighed leisurely: "When there is no war in the future, and the underworld is too peaceful, I will go back to Xiaoyu Mountain City to live." When the time comes, buy a few acres of thin fields at the foot of the mountain, build a small courtyard, dig a well, raise some chickens, ducks and geese, and plant some melons, fruits and vegetables. ”。

The ghost mother was slightly stunned when she heard this, and slowly turned her head to look at her husband's side face with a puzzled gaze, and only after a moment did she say in surprise: "This is not like the words that a ghost killer, his hands are covered with ghost blood, and he has beaten the invincible Xudu Army twice." ”。

"Hmph!" Xiao Shizhu snorted softly, continued to stare intently ahead, but said with some anger in his mouth: "Don't think about running when the time comes, you have to follow Lao Tzu wherever he goes." Without brocade clothes and food, without the front and back clusters, don't regret marrying me. ”。

"I have never regretted being with you, let alone letting go of power and glory, even if I follow you to the end of the world, I am happy. The ghost mother was not frightened, and after answering without hesitation, she leaned her head on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, and her eyebrows were full of sweetness and happiness.

And Xiao Shizhu's deliberately stiffened face also bloomed with a faint smile.

The two ghosts were silent, and just kept their original posture and stood under the cloister. After a while, two ghosts walked out of the fog in front of him, and the ghost mother reluctantly moved her head away from Xiao Shizhu's shoulder.

The ghost is Chunyun, and Wu Qiuyuan, who has not been seen for a long time.

Since the last time he was driven by the rhythm of the car and went with the army to sneak attack the southeast coast of Liutian Continent, he returned to Yunmeng Continent, waiting for Xiao Shizhu's arrival, casually acting as Xiao Shizhu's eyes and ears, and exploring the people's feelings in Yunmengzhou for him.

And Xiao Shizhu came to Ningjiang City, firstly, to meet Shi Zhen, and secondly, to pick up Wuqiuyuan, and asked him to continue to inspect various places by himself.

The two ghosts boarded the shrine, and after standing beside Xiao Shizhu, they saluted first, and Wu Qiuyuan took the lead in speaking: "My lord, the minister has been ordered to serve as the supervisor for ten months, and now the sneak attack army has returned to their respective stations to rest, and the minister has also come to hand over." ”。

"Well, I have ordered you to be removed from your position as a prisoner and restored to your position as a servant of the Soul Master. Xiao Shizhu turned around, stood facing him and Chunyun, and asked slowly: "Tell me quickly, why nearly 5,000 soldiers were killed and wounded when attacking Guishan Island and Huaishui Port, this casualty may not be too big, right?"

Long before he arrived at Chishi Port, Xiao Shizhu received a secret report from the fungus people, saying that although the expedition to Huaishui Port was won by the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the casualties of the sailors were also heavy, and the artillery that fell into the water after the ship sank was as many as 100 just recovered from the seabed, which surprised Xiao Shizhu, a ghost who has always been calm and calm.

The combat effectiveness of the sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is also one of the best in today's underworld because it is equipped with artillery. Even if it was besieged, it would not have been possible to kill and wound so many sergeants and sink so many ships.

This also aroused Xiao Shizhu's curiosity, and made him eager to know what secret weapon the sailors of the Xudu Army had used to increase their combat power so much at once.

"Yes. Wu Qiu Yuan responded, turned sideways and gave way, followed behind Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother, who were slowly walking towards the shrine, and brought the entire battle process to Xiao Shizhu one by one.

As he spoke, the four ghosts had already walked into the hall of the gods, and after sitting down in order, Xiao Shizhu took the tea made by the maids and waved his hand to signal them to retreat.

After only the four ghosts were left in the hall, Xiao Shizhu said thoughtfully: "I said that why is the Xudu Army so powerful all of a sudden, it turns out that they are also equipped with a large number of firearms." ”。

Wu Qiuyuan, who frowned slightly, nodded slowly.

"What is this you mentioned, what is this ghost cannon?" and then Xiao Shizhu asked curiously.

Wu Qiuyuan was a little dazed when she heard this, and she didn't know where to start, and Chunyun couldn't answer, she had never seen this kind of artillery, and it was the first time she had heard of this name today.

"One of the Demon Gods' weapons of conquest. At this time, the ghost mother, who had not spoken, spoke slowly.
