[570] Repatriation
Tonight was supposed to be a night of carnival for all the ghosts in the city, but I didn't expect the artillery to fall from the sky, the flames rose under the night moon, and thousands of corpses and souls defending the city and the arrow towers of the city walls were reduced to nothing in an instant.
The Corpse Soul Army was still in shock and fear, and before they could fully compose, Bei Shu and Ying Lingxing threw tens of thousands of empty cavalry and flying troops from Xiancha, swooped down, and killed the city.
The corpse soul army in the city, from the officers to the soldiers, no one thought that the Jiuyou Army, which was still sweeping the government-in-exile of the Xiazhou State a few days ago, pacifying the north of Manjiang City, and was still busy fighting for more than a dozen towns under the control of the Xiazhou State, would suddenly appear in front of them without warning or any marching track.
Where did they think that Xiao Shizhu let Yuhua and Zhu Hai, Ji Yan and Gu shoot the goddess soldiers in two ways, dealing with the Xiazhou Guoyu Party in name only, and freezing the Xudu army south of Fengming Valley, all of which were acting for the corpse soul army.
In addition, it is also because he also needs to train the Xudu Army who has surrendered. Let these surrendered sergeants understand the tactics of the Nine Shadows Army and be able to cooperate with other Nine Shadows Army.
It was nothing more than that the Corpse Soul Army mistakenly thought that Xiao Shizhu would not attack the Corpse Country for the time being.
Without the cover and support of the city wall, the corpse soul army of the defenders in the city had to withdraw to the city, trying to hide in the watchtowers that choked the main roads in the city and fought back against the Nine Ghost Army.
These watchtowers are made of earth and stone, and are all tall square columns, but they are divided into four corners and eight corners. The base is strong, and the higher the base width, the narrower, and the tower is made of sheet stone, the masonry is exquisite and the wall is solid. The towers echo each other from afar, and it is magnificent.
The bed crossbow and the transfer machine, sticking out of the perforation and gun window on the watchtower, are ready to fire. However, the corpse soul army in the watchtower suddenly discovered that the air cavalry and flying army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not fly from the air to the ground.
In this way, the watchtower also loses all its advantages.
The small cannon on the empty rider's beast soul had been calibrated by the deputy riders as it dived, and it was aimed at the towering watchtower on the ground.
The air roared and shook wildly, the red flames like flying rainbows flashed one after another, and one after another the cannonballs slammed into the watchtowers.
In an instant, dozens of watchtowers were full of holes, and then collapsed to the ground one after another.
The dust swept up the thick smoke, and the corpse soul army in the watchtower fell to the ground with the broken wood and broken bricks falling like a shower, and after falling half to death, they were buried on the ground by these broken bricks and tiles.
The corpse soul army in the city was already frightened, and most of them only cared about the interweaving of artillery fire and the flying of the guns, scattering and fleeing in all directions on the streets and alleys of the city.
In less than a moment in the big lonely city, there is no festive joy. All that remained was panic and panic, and terrible screams, echoing in the sound of death-scented gunfire.
At the same time, there were also large groups of soldiers and horses in the small lonely city in the distance, surging out with torches in their hands, and came straight to the side of the big lonely city, and they were the corpse soul army that came to the aid of the big lonely city.
The corpse soul army killed in the small lonely city held the torches in their hands high. At first glance, it looks like a winding fire dragon lying in the mountains. It seems that the corpse soul army in the small lonely city has almost been dispatched.
"Order all the flying thunder vehicles to withdraw from the battlefield of the Great Lonely City, and act together with the five small Immortal Cha, and be sure to block the reinforcements from the Little Lonely City outside the Great Lonely City. When Xiao Shizhu saw the enemy's reinforcements dispatched, his face was still calm and fearless. He opened his lips slightly, and said to the fungus man who accompanied the army, without hurrying or slow: "I also ordered that Bei Shui and Ying Lingxing don't have to worry, and they will fight steadily." ”。
"No. Shen Ji responded, immediately gathered his energy, and began to send the message.
In less than a moment, the horn on the Great Immortal Cha was the sound of the horn Jin Gu in unison. Under the sound of the rumbling war drums, the flying thunder cars guarding the Great Immortal Cha turned around one after another, and followed the five Little Immortal Cha towards the direction of the Little Lonely City.
After another moment, there was another scream and * from the mountains between the two cities.
The dazzling thunder and lightning flashed endlessly in the mountains and fields, illuminating the official roads covered with strange rocks on both sides. Hit many scorch marks and deep pits on the road, and also caused many corpse soul troops to be scarred immediately, or scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
The Corpse Soul Army was helpless in the face of the Nine Shadows Country's thunder car that could shoot thunder and lightning, and it was even more unable to attack Xiancha. With artillery and lightning flying, the Corpse Soul Army will raise its longbow and shoot iron arrows into the air. But the height of the flying thunder car and the immortal chariot is beyond the range of their iron arrows.
The Flying Iron Arrow not only could injure the Flying Thunder Car and the Immortal Cha, but after it fell, it injured a lot of Corpse Soul Army. The superiority of the two armies is judged by the superiority and the inferior.
When the last watchtower in the big lonely city also fell down after less than half a cup of tea. The surviving corpse soul army in the city, who were also led by Bei Shui and Ying Lingxing, chased after them like a bamboo, and finally recognized the situation. Kneeling and bound, there are countless people who surrender their armor.
And the defenders of the small lonely city who came to support them were even more embarrassed under the combined air raid of Xiaoxiancha and the flying thunder car, and after leaving tens of thousands of corpse soul army corpses, they hurriedly withdrew to the city.
From beginning to end, Xiao Shizhu has been standing at the head of Xianchacha, and he has no intention of doing anything at all. He folded his hands behind his back, stood with his head in the wind, and silently looked around the two battlefields below.
The little cloth tiger hanging on his waist was swirling and swaying in the wind......
In the Yuque Palace, Xiao Fuling sat alone on the roof of the main building of the Juexiang Garden.
She raised her head slightly, looking through the mouth of the sinkhole high above her head, staring at the moonlit and starry sky in a daze.
A few hours ago, she was still at the dinner table, and she flatly denied that she missed Xiao Shizhu. But now she was facing the night breeze, watching the blue moonlight sprinkle down, and the thoughts that she had finally suppressed were surging from the depths of her heart like a tide.
Xiao Fuling secretly thought about it and found that from her childhood to adulthood, her father had never accompanied her for more than a month in a year.
Although Xiao Fuling understands Xiao Shizhu, although the Nine Secluded Countries is large, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and Xiao Shizhu cannot be slackened in the slightest. In the dead of night, the cold moonlight couldn't help but make her miss and feel slightly aggrieved.
Other little ghosts are accompanied by their parents, but she can't even see her father's face, which really makes Xiao Fuling a little depressed in addition to being wronged.
Just when she was stunned, the ghost mother standing on the ground downstairs stood on tiptoe, and after jumping, she jumped to the top of the building and stood firmly beside Xiao Fuling. Then the right hand with slender five fingers was stretched out, and after gently rubbing it on the top of her daughter's head, she asked knowingly: "What's the matter, Poria Cocos, is you so quiet admiring the moon today?"
Xiao Fuling didn't say a word, just slowly reached out, wrapped her arms around the ghost mother's legs, and obediently leaned her head on it.
"I ......" Xiao Fuling wanted to speak and stopped, and crystal tears appeared in her eyes, glistening in the moonlight.
"You miss your father, don't you?" said the ghost mother, first pulling away her daughter's hand, and then after she sat side by side on the roof, she reached out and put her arm around Xiao Fuling's shoulder.
"Well, when I came out of the school palace today, my classmates all had their parents to pick them up, but I didn't. When Xiao Fuling, who was no longer hard-mouthed, bowed her head slightly, she hurriedly raised her hand and rubbed her red eyes, wiped away the tears that were about to overflow her eyes, and sobbed a few times.
The ghost mother felt a pain in her heart, and she could only hug Xiao Lingling tighter.
Xiao Shizhu had to go to the Quartet, and he had to be so busy that he didn't have time to eat with his family. Although the ghost mother is very considerate of Xiao Shizhu's difficulties, she still can't help but feel sorry for her daughter when she looks at the grievances written on her daughter's face.
"He'll be back and come back to see you with a lot of things you like. After a moment of silence, when Xiao Fuling tilted her head slightly and leaned on the shoulder of the ghost mother, the ghost mother immediately asked her daughter softly, "Do you know what I took from me when I separated from your father on Daoshan Island?"
Xiao Fuling was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after a little thought, she silently shook her head.
The ghost mother with a kind face pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "He took away the little cloth tiger you made." ”。
"Huh?" Xiao Fuling, who was surprised and suddenly appeared on her face, turned her head and looked at her mother with wide eyes, and her eyes gradually revealed an incredible color.
He remembered that the Buhu was the first thing she made when she was full of curiosity to learn from female red. Although the stitches are messy and ugly, the ghost mother has always regarded them as treasures.
What surprised Xiao Fuling was that although the Buhu was regarded as a treasure by the ghost mother, he had always been said by Xiao Shizhu to be an ugly thing, and he also used this to complain that Xiao Fuling could just use the knife and gun, and the things he made by picking up needles and threads were not as good as what he made with his feet.
She never expected that her father would take the cloth tiger away before leaving.
"Your father also knows that he won't see you for a while, so he will leave the cloth tiger, so that he can see things and think about people. The ghost mother paused, and then smiled slightly: "Actually, the ghost he cares about the most is your daughter." ”。
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lingling was even more flattered, and the grievances that had risen in her heart before disappeared in an instant.
The cool night breeze was blowing, and Xiao Ling's face was smiling.
"Your father's dead face, I won't give it to him, he will rob it. The ghost mother glanced at her daughter with a faint smile out of the corner of her eyes, struck while the iron was hot, and teased: "At that time, I was pregnant with your sister, how could I rob him, so I had to let him take away the Buhu you made." ”。
Xiao Fuling was overjoyed, and her smile was even brighter.
"He once told me that his greatest wish was to live a quiet and luxurious life, with food, drink and clothing, and then the children and grandchildren could enjoy themselves. At this point, the ghost mother sighed softly after a pause, put away the smile on her face, stroked Xiao Fuling's silky long hair like a waterfall, and said: "But you also know that in this huge underworld, there are many ghosts who want your father and your life, and even your sister's ghost. Your father himself doesn't value his own ghostly life, but he can't ignore your life and that of your sister. If you don't let the underworld come to peace, and don't destroy the ghosts who see you as a thorn in the flesh, he will never be able to take you to live in peace. ”。
Xiao Fuling nodded silently, although she still missed her father Xiao Shizhu, she didn't feel any grievances.
The ghost mother groaned, and after a while, she looked at the grass and trees swaying in the wind downstairs, and after her eyes flickered, she whispered in Xiao Fuling's ear: "I will soon send more than 3,000 troops to Aoki County secretly and hand them over to Lin Cong for dispatch." Since you think so much about your father, why don't you go with the army and go to Dongyizhou to see your father?"
"Really!" Xiao Fuling, who stared at the ghost mother with wide eyes again, ignored the fact that the ghost mother raised her index finger to her lips and signaled her boo, shouting, "So I can stop going to school?"
Shui Lingling's big eyes were full of incredible color.
"Feelings, you don't miss your father, but you don't want to go to school. The ghost mother looked at her with joy on her face for a while, and then asked with a smile.
