The night was deep, and the moon was cold.

The steaming moonlight cast on the ground and spread a clear blue.

In the camp of the Nine Shadows Army, the patrolling ghost soldiers shuttled back and forth in the trenches, and the ghost soldiers standing guard looked around vigilantly, in the dark depths of the night.

In the heavily guarded tent of the Chinese army, the king of Yama, who had finished speaking, raised his teacup and drank a cup of medium-temperature tea, his face still angry.

Although the war between the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Kongsang Kingdom has always had the upper hand, the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Country are not King Kong's body, and they are invulnerable.

Flesh-and-blood soldiers were also killed and wounded on the battlefield where swords and eyes were gone. This made the king of Yama angry, and he would not forgive the lord of the Kongsang Kingdom.

In the big tent, in addition to him and the goddess of Gu Shooting, there is also Yingling Xing, who is temporarily serving under him. When the young general heard these angry words, he looked at the face of the king of Yama, which was full of anger and hideous face, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Commander, forgive me for being presumptuous, this lord and * have set the rules, but if the enemy army surrenders sincerely, we must treat it well." Although you are avenging the brothers who died in battle, you are also violating the rules set by the Lord and *. ”。

"And it is easy to turn things around, if the citizens of the empty Sang country in the city are forced to be anxious, not only will they not be grateful to our country in the future, but they will not be loyal, and they will stick to it. After a pause, the look of embarrassment on Ying Lingxing's face became a little heavier.

"Yes, Marshal, what the British General said is very true. The goddess on the other side took over the words and continued to persuade the king of Yama: "At that time, once they defend the empty city, our army will have to pay a small price to win, and there is only one way - to shell and slaughter the city." When the time comes, it is inevitable that the indiscriminate killing of innocent people will not be the best policy. ”。

The anger on King Yama's face faded a little. After patiently listening to their suggestions, he glanced at Ying Lingxing and Gu Shooting Goddess and smiled faintly, and said, "What I said is not to let go of the lord of the Kongsang Kingdom, why do you all misunderstand the meaning of this handsome?"

After taking the last sip of tea from the cup, King Yama continued, "Ben Shuai is not so angry that he wants to kill him in spite of everything. The ghost people in the city can survive and become the ghost people of our country, and enjoy the same treatment as the ghost people in the country. But the lord of the kingdom of Kongsang must die, including his people. As long as it is the royal family of the empty mulberry country, there is no one left. ”。

When he said that he wanted to destroy the entire clan of the lord of the Kongsang Kingdom, the cold killing intent appeared again in the eyes of the king of Yama.

If the entire clan of the Lord of the Kongsang Kingdom does not die, not only will the King of Yama and the officers and soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who are fighting here be angry in their chests, but they will also have no deterrent effect on the ghost people who surrender to the Kongsang Kingdom in the future.

You must know that the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not attack the Empty Sang Kingdom at the beginning, but the Empty Sang Kingdom responded to the call of the Northern Yin Dynasty and constantly launched attacks on the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

This account must be counted on the head of the lord of the country of Kongsang. He had to pay a terrible price for his decision.

"Oh, I see. Ying Lingxing said this, relieved, like the goddess, the embarrassed look on her face faded, and disappeared quietly.

"You guys don't care, go and rest first, return to their respective camps tomorrow, do your defensive work, don't let the ghost soldiers of the Beiyin Dynasty in Dushuo Mountain take advantage of the loophole again. King Yama didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to signal Ying Lingxing and Gu Shooting Priestess to retreat.

"No. Ying Lingxing and Gu Shooting Goddess bowed their hands in unison, saluted him slightly, and slowly retreated.

At the moment when they left, King Yama grabbed the book of descent on the handsome case, and when he kneaded it into a ball three or two, he was stunned and folded the crumpled book again, unfolded it.

"Someone. ”

Under the soft light of the centipede beads in the tent, the king of Yama listened to the hula of the tent tarpaulin that was blown by the sound of the wind, and the king of Yama pondered for a long time and shouted to the door of the tent that was blown by the night wind.

When the shout landed, a sturdy and burly human ghost soldier lifted the tent door and hurried into the big tent. The soul of the man wearing a silver helmet rushed to the handsome case in three or two steps, his hands were already clenched into fists, he bowed slightly to the king of Yama, opened his mouth in a dull voice like thunder, and asked the king of Yama: "Dashuai, what do you command?"

The king of Yama raised his hand and wiped the thick beard around his mouth, and said to the ghost soldier: "Order the air cavalry to shoot into the city the feather arrows collected from the battlefield, tie them to persuade the ghosts in the city to open the city and surrender, and surrender the guns without killing." Remember to add a sentence to the persuasion book - the ghost clan does not kill the ghost clan. Let them surrender quickly, and stop resisting. ”......

The smell of the sea breeze swept through the smoky island of Shuoyue. The flowers and plants on the island are eclipsed.

Gong Mingyi still waited for a large amount of his supplies and reinforcements, and as Ahuizomi had guessed, the real supplies and reinforcements did not come from due north. Instead, it came from the direction of weak water, and after detouring to the Black Dragon Island of the Nine Shadows Country, it suddenly appeared in the sea area west of Shuoyue Island.

Emperor Xudu not only took advantage of the loophole, but also took Gong Mingyi's suggestion to plagiarize the tactics of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms.

When the sailor division was marching on the sea, the air cavalry launched a high-altitude reconnaissance in the air, directing this huge Beiyin Dynasty sailor division to patrol and guard the sea around the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

In addition, most of the sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom fought on Shuoyue Island, and there were suspicious soldiers arranged by the Northern Yin Dynasty in the northern waters of the Blind Sea, which restrained the sailors of the Gonggong, and really allowed Gong Mingyi to successfully obtain material supplies and reinforcements.

For a time, according to the order of the Yuque Palace, the Nine Shadows Naval Division who was fighting in the waters around Shuoyue Island did not confront it head-on, and opened the opening to put these materials and reinforcements in the stone forest on the sea.

Just like the first confrontation between Ying Zhao and Gong Mingyi, the mechanism of the stone forest on the sea was activated, and the merman attacked, but it also made the Beiyin Water Division suffer a lot of losses.

It's just that the hostile naval fleet is huge, and there are thousands of water ghosts and shrimp sea cavalry escorting the escort, and the ambush didn't have much impact on Gong Mingyi, he still got the reinforcements and materials he wanted.

Relying on supplies and reinforcements, Gong Mingyi broke through eight cities in a row within half a month, and occupied all the cities on the edge of Shuoyue Island.

For a time, the war on Shuoyue Island entered a white heat. Gong Mingyi was complacent about occupying almost half of the island, but the internal and external attacks of the Nine Shadows Kingdom formed again, besieging the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the stone forest on the sea.

As for the lost city, it was as early as when the Yuque Palace issued the order to close the door and beat the dogs. Ying Zhao sent people to transport away the grain and silver stored in the city, and when the ghosts left in the city also retreated first, he emptied the ammunition depots and armory supervision workshops in these cities. Then a lot of traps were secretly laid in the city, that is, they were made of firearms such as earth-shaking thunder and ten thousand enemies.

In the face of the menacing Xudu army, after a little resistance, the Jiuyou State Army retreated at night according to the order. The Xudu army, which was beaten badly by them before, was not afraid of life and death, and rushed into the city desperately, triggering all the organs in the city.

Hundreds of thousands of Xudu troops were reimbursed in the flames and explosions. As the flames flickered and shrapnel flew sideways, the ghost's blood stained the cities around Shuoyue Island red.

Ying Zhao took advantage of this to get a respite, and in the center of Shuoyue Island, around Xiaoyu Mountain Castle, the opportunity and time began to strengthen the armament and consolidate the fortifications.

Both sides tried their best, but both were tied. Although the Xudu Army was killed by more than 100,000 ghost soldiers, the Jiuyou National Army also suffered heavy casualties during the retreat and during the stage of slight resistance. Tens of thousands of troops of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms and hundreds of thousands of ghost people were killed one by one under the crossfire of the Xudu army.

The same is true of the battle at sea, where the warships of both sides have their own victories and defeats. The Nine Shadows Country Water Division stood at the right time and place, while the Northern Yin Water Division used the tactics of a sea of people. The number of tall warships and ships allowed the Northern Yin Water Division to turn the tide of the battle by force, making it half the winner.

Xiao Fuling's proposal to close the door and fight the dog was not ineffective, relatively speaking, although the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty avoided a defeat, but it was also surrounded in the stone forest on the sea and became a lonely army isolated from the world.

Fighting alone, even if he got a few cities, Gong Mingyi and his army were under a lot of pressure.

So much so that after Ying Zhao led the army to retreat to the vicinity of Xiaoyu Mountain City, the Xudu army was not in a hurry to attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was able to exchange for a temporary recuperation while consolidating its defenses. The soldiers were busy reinforcing the fortifications, and the commander Ying Zhao stood on the edge of the trench in the bloody sea breeze, looking at the distant sky, the volley of the moon, and his round eyes gradually narrowed.

Now these Guanyue Cha in front of him are coming with reinforcements. As soon as these Guanyuecha arrived, it added a lot of courage to Gong Mingyi and the Xudu Army under his command.

"Marshal, according to your requirements, most of the war supplies have been transferred to Xiaoyu Mountain City. After a long time, Ji Kang, who was standing beside him, also raised his eyes to look at Yingzhao's eyes as far as he could see, and saw the front of the Guanyue Chacha that could cover the sky and the sun.

I thought that Ying Zhao was worried about Ji Kang, who was worried about those Guanyuecha, but he didn't think about it, so he said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, the marshal doesn't have to worry, the light and flexible characteristics of our army's flying thunder car just restrain this bulky and huge Guanyuecha." No matter how many reinforcements the Northern Yin Dynasty gave to Gong Mingyi, don't want to take advantage of it. ”。

The sea breeze blew the mane on Ying Zhao's neck, and when the mane shook together, Ying Zhao shook his head, and then looked at the Guanyuecha that was hovering in the distant air, and said leisurely: "Ben Shuai is not afraid of the flying weapons of the Yudu dog, but I am just wondering, since these Guanyuecha have landed on the island, can we knock them down as much as possible without large-scale destruction, so that the shadow wood that made them can be recycled and used by our country." ”。

Ji Kang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right." ”。

After a pause, Na Ji Kang said again: "But in this way, our pressure is not small." ”。 It's just that what he said was insincere, and there was no worry or fear at all.

In the eyes of the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, although the Xudu Army is also brave and good at fighting, and Gong Mingyi, the general of the unified army, is also ruthless, but there is still nothing to fear.

The morale of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is still there, the equipment is sophisticated and advanced, and the ghost generals such as the commander Yingzhao are not mediocre, Ji Kang naturally can not be afraid of the Xudu army that is all over the mountains and fields in the distance.

"Great. At this moment, the familiar messenger shouted behind him.

Ying Zhao turned his head and looked away, and saw his messenger rushing towards him from a short distance behind him.

"Great. The messenger soldier who stood in front of Ying Zhao didn't care about taking a breath, so he breathed down and said: "Yuque, there is a secret message from Yuque City." The country,* wants our army, and our army will hold on for another ten days. Ten days later, reinforcements will arrive. Until then, the defenders can only defend and not attack, and do not fight the enemy to the death. That's what * is saying. ”。

"Got it. Ying Zhao responded, and after the messenger returned, he looked back at Ji Kang and said, "But we still have to sum it up, how can we defend it for ten days?"
