The night wind poured in from the mouth of the cave one after another, sending out a sharp whistling. The firewood in the campfire in the firepit crackled under the swallowing of the flames, and a few sparks rose from the flames, drifted into the air and slowly dimmed.

After he left for a long time, Zhu Hai, who was in awe of them, slowly stood up and stared at the dark night without even the entrance to the cave.

He was unwilling, not unwilling to call him a coward, or they all cast a disdainful look at him. is unwilling to lose the courage to resist, and can't muster up the courage again.

The flames were cast on his slightly rickety physique, casting a large black shadow in the hole.

At this moment, Zhu Hai's shadow was tall, but his body was so short.

He knew that his co-workers, like him, were building defenses for the garrison on the Haigu Mountains, and that the workers who were farming and farming would revolt before the early hours of the morning. He also knew that the workers who had no weapons and armor, only a few hammers, saws, hoes, shovels, etc., would definitely be killed by the heavily armed long-haired ghost soldiers. But Zhu Hai, who was stunned in place, let the cold wind that poured into the cave blow his face for a while, he still chose to turn around silently, climbed onto the stone bed and lay down, pulled the thin cotton quilt that the long-haired ghost had equipped him with and covered his body, and looked at the roof of the cave red by the flames in a daze.

He alone could not stop the bloodshed and fighting that was coming. Thinking of this, Zhu Hai felt a little helpless in his heart.

It won't be long before screams and shouts of killing will be heard all over the mountain. These are intertwined with heart-rending and hysteria that last for varying lengths. And as soon as these voices fade away, a long-haired ghost soldier will come to the cave and handcuff him, and pull him to inquire and check first.

After making sure that he did not participate in the rebellion, he beat him and other ordinary souls who did not participate in the rebellion with a whip soaked in chili pepper water, and went to various places in the mountains to continue to do hard labor day after day.

Thinking about these, Zhu Hai couldn't help but feel irritated and a little entangled in his heart. simply closed his eyes, pulled up the quilt and covered his head......

Qixing stood on top of the desolate earth mountain, looking down at the north below.

Last night, Qi Xing suddenly led 100,000 headless ghost troops to Tushan under the cover of night, and with the support of flint cannons, assault muskets and rockets secretly provided for him by Emperor Xudu, he wiped out the bear army that had seized Tushan Pass in half an hour, and recovered Tushan Pass again.

Before the bears on the mountain could react, they were already in the middle of the mountain pass.

The heavy curtain of inky blue sky was slowly fading as the night faded, and the tender red morning light rose in the far west, staining the distant mountains and plains red.

Behind him, inside and outside the Tushan Pass, the morning frost had turned into crystal dew among the grass and stones, and the fallen leaves were still falling with the morning breeze, and it was already a heavily armed headless ghost army, lined up in dozens of phalanxes inside and outside the pass. The cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and further back were rows of artillery pushing flint cannons.

It's just that recovering Tushan Pass is not enough, Qixing's ambition does not allow him to look at himself as just in charge of the land of the two counties. After learning that Xingtian had completely escaped, he targeted the country of Youxiong.

Although the country of bears is strong and strong, at this time, the country of bears is taking care of one thing and losing the other in the counterinsurgency. On the surface, this country is attacking the Mashou country in the south, but in fact, the Lingshan country in the north is also in the task of counterinsurgency in the bear country.

The long-term two-front battle has made the bear country a strong foreign power.

Therefore, the former Yellow Emperor, and now the bear king Ji Xuanyuan will send Dahong to the headless ghost country to provoke a rebellion in the country. Unexpectedly, Qixing's rebellion had already begun, and as Xiao Shizhu expected, the mastermind behind the rebellion was none other than Emperor Xudu.

Emperor Xudu had long been disgusted by Ji Xuanyuan's inactive attitude towards counterinsurgency. But it is clear that the loss of Ji Xuanyuan and Youxiong Country is too big, so he needs to develop an obedient prince to clean up Youxiong Country for him.

And although Xingtian and Ji Xuanyuan have a grudge, Emperor Xudu also knows that Xingtian and him are not in the right temper. If he asked Xingtian to do this, he was afraid that Xingtian would not only not obey him, but would also laugh at him fiercely when he publicized the matter.

In this case, Emperor Xudu naturally had no choice but to find Qixing. This ghost is still obedient to him, and the other party's ambition is not small, which is just enough for Emperor Xudu to make good use of it.

Therefore, Qixing will have the money to secretly buy off the forbidden army and some ministers in the palace. As for Dahong's appearance, although it was an accident, Qixing also pretended to cooperate with him, and by the way, after letting Dahong give him advice, he did it one by one according to Dahong's strategy, making his rebellion much smoother.

In this way, Dahong is not as smart as Qixing.

Sure enough, Qixing did not disappoint Emperor Xudu, not only drove away Xingtian, who was very disobedient to the imperial court, but also prepared to launch a war against Youxiong Kingdom.

Ma Shou Guo and Youxiong Guo are cranes and mussels in the eyes of his strange stars, and he is a fisherman.

Looking down at the land below the mountain, Qixing was full of blood, as if he was looking down on the whole world, which made him excited.

After a while, Qi Xing raised his hand and made a slight gesture behind him, and two sergeants in the army escorted Dahong, who was tied up by five flowers, and walked behind him.

Dahong, who was scarred, was forcibly pressed down by the two headless ghost soldiers, trying to force Dahong to kneel, but Dahong, who seemed to be weak, would rather die than give in, and kept trying to straighten his back and stand up straight.

The two headless ghost soldiers could even hear his spine rattle as they pressed hard. As a last resort, the two headless ghosts had to let go of Dahong first and give him a burst of punches and kicks.

It was only after the big hung head was bleeding and he was weak that he stopped, and then effortlessly pressed the human soul to his knees. But although Dahong bent his knees, he always stood upright.

A few streaks of blood flowed from the top of his disheveled head and across his face, eyes, nose, mouth, and cheeks, making his face full of anger even more permeating.

"Dahong, aren't you very self-righteous?" Qixing, who really didn't look back, continued to look down at the gradually clear scenery at the bottom of the mountain, and said coldly: "I didn't expect to be used by me if I wanted to use it." ”。

Da Hong glared at him fiercely, panting and scolding in a deep voice: "Qixing, you are an ungrateful villain. ”。

"Huh. Qi Xing was not shocked or angry when he heard this, but just sneered and asked, "I thought you knew it a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to know it now, you just watched from the top of the mountain how I slaughtered your compatriots." ”。

After saying this, Qi Xing didn't bother to talk nonsense with Da Hong anymore, turned over and rode on the Fenglin Continent Black Tiger that his subordinates brought for him, took out the scimitar on his waist and pointed at the bottom of the mountain, and after the border pass of the Bear Country that gradually appeared in the thinner and thinner morning mist, he took the lead in driving the beast down the mountain and killing it.

The army behind him followed, raising the blade in his hand and following Qixing Kill down the mountain.

The army rushed down the hillside menacingly, leaving a trail of rising dust on the hillside, and the earth trembled again and again.

Qixing's counteroffensive began.

The pass of Youxiong Country is only three or five miles away from Tushan, and Qixing arranged a large number of cavalry as the vanguard, and it only took a hot tea to kill in front of the pass.

The defenders patrolling the walls had no idea that the odd stars would suddenly counterattack, and before they could react, the headless ghosts' black* had already pointed their bows and arrows at them, and began to bend their bows and shoot furiously.

Tens of thousands of iron arrows roared through the mist, and in an instant, a terrible scream rang out from the city.

Fortunately, the pass was built quite firmly, and the bear army did suffer a lot of casualties under the surprise. Soon, however, some of the bears broke off behind the battlements, making it impossible for the headless ghosts to injure themselves with their iron arrows.

At the same time, quite a few headless ghost cavalry had already pulled out the flying stone ropes. It's just that the flying stone ropes in their hands are not covered with stones, but lit firetles and fireballs one by one.

The lead on the fireball burst out with sparks and sizzled in the wind.

These things were secretly provided to Qixing by Emperor Youdu. The military strength of the Headless Ghost Country has also been greatly improved.

I saw that the cavalry lifted the flying stone rope with the fire thistle or fireball above their heads, and after shaking the flying stone rope a few times, they threw the fire thistle or fireball hanging on it towards the pass wall.

Under the sound of swishing through the air, one after another firetops and fireballs slashed one after another outside the wall, leaving countless black smoke behind them, and then fell steadily on the top of the city.

Hiding behind the battlements, Xiong Guojun saw those firetle terrestris and fireball servants fall to the ground, and his eyes widened with horror.

With the loud sound of a thunderbolt explosion, the red pieces of iron shot out from the thistles or fireballs spun and flew in all directions on the top of the city with the heat, shooting the bears hiding in every corner of the city.

The next second later, a Xiong soldier was immediately impaled through his body by an iron arrow, or he was scarred by the Zi Yi that shot out of the assault rifle with the eruption of *.

Blood mist mixed with gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, and the screams rang out again.

In the panic, many bear soldiers didn't care too much, and straightened up from behind the wall in a panic, trying to avoid the explosion of fireballs or thistles, but the bows and arrows and assault muskets in the hands of the headless ghost cavalry under the wall were also aimed at them at the same time.

Human souls like the Youxiong clan, who call themselves old gods, disdain to develop advanced weapons because they possess some divine arts. But at this moment, it was these things that they used to disdain that beat them to the ground.

This is just the backward firearms of the Northern Yin Dynasty, if they are replaced by the advanced firearms of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they will be even more stunned, and they will die even more tragically.

As the acrid smoke rose, Qixing's artillerymen were escorted by the infantry to the outside of the city, quickly setting up their guns and aiming at the city.

Under the roar of the cannons, the smoke from the muzzles of hundreds of flint cannons rose straight up, and one after another fiery red stone bullets shot out of the barrels with billowing gunpowder smoke and went straight to the city.

Under the earth-shattering explosion, fires broke out everywhere on the wall of the pass of the bear country, and the battlements were basically not intact, and the walls of the city wall were also broken.

Even the city gates, embedded in the doorways, were reduced to a pile of sawdust that swirled in the heat under the shelling. As soon as the city gate opened, Qixing immediately waved the long knife in his hand and slashed towards the pass.

The cavalry followed, rushing down the door into the pass.
