A drizzle enveloped the area near Dushuo Mountain in Dongyingzhou.
This is the last light rain in this year's rainy season in Dongyingzhou, and it is also the last rain. Just like the rainy season that is about to pass, this rain is no longer pouring, and it is no longer powerful. It is thin and continuous, like sight, even to the top of the mountain. Even the broad canopy of the giant peach tree cannot be completely penetrated.
Only when the accumulated water accumulates to a certain amount, some translucent drops of water will slowly fall from the branches and leaves.
The lights on Dushuo Mountain shrouded in rain and fog are brightly lit, like a fire dragon entrenched on the mountain. Looking outside the rain and fog, the firelights in the mountain are dim.
The grass and trees on the mountain swayed in the wind, and bursts of noise in the military camp came and went, echoing in the wind.
The soldiers of various garrison units moved into action on the rainy night and quickly gathered at the training grounds in various places in the mountains. A large number of ghost spirits quickly gathered in these training grounds.
Within a cup of tea, most of the military camps in the mountains were deserted. The sergeants arrived at the training grounds in various places in the mountains as ordered, and stood in neat formations on the training grounds, waiting for the generals to give orders.
Every soldier who was ready to go had a solemn expression on his face. A few of the new recruits still had nervous eyes.
Although during the months of the rainy season, King Yama did not let these recruits idle; in addition to training, he often used bandits, thieves and pirates who had been entrenched nearby all year round to give the recruits practical training.
Killing two birds with one stone, not only trained new recruits, but also completely eradicated the bandits, thieves, pirates and other cancers that had plagued the nearby rebels for thousands of years.
However, it is too simple to deal with stragglers such as bandits, thieves and pirates, and the scale of the battle is small. The recruits can only overcome the fear caused by battlefield fighting and bloodshed, but they cannot have the courage to face various wars.
The only thing that supports these new recruits to get ready to go as ordered is a belief.
There are many military regulations in the Jiuyou Army, and the first article of responsibilities is clearly written. Any soldier, regardless of his superior or subordinate, or his position, must do his best to defend every inch of the territory and every foot of the mountains and rivers of the Jiuyou Ghost Kingdom. Try your best.
For this reason, the Nine Nether Army would not hesitate to pay the price with their lives.
Coupled with the fact that the supervisors in various armies always preached that it is the duty of ghost soldiers to obey orders, and under the teachings of Jiuyou Kingdom, which is to create a new beautiful underworld, a just and slavery-free future, Jiuyou Kingdom The sergeants of Youguo are different from the ghost soldiers of other ghost countries who are mostly just trying to make ends meet. In the minds of the sergeants of Jiuyouguo, they have already formed a subconscious instinct to hit wherever they point.
They also firmly believe that every time they fight, they are fighting to eliminate the slavery and injustice that has existed in the underworld for a long time.
And these also formed a strong belief that allowed the soldiers of Jiuyou Kingdom to unite and maintain high morale at all times.
It was this firm belief that made the recruits who were about to set out on Dushuo Mountain feel very nervous, but at least they did not have the slightest fear of the war that was about to break out.
The troops on various training grounds have been assembled, and the army supervisors have begun pre-war mobilization to boost morale after the generals told the soldiers about the mission.
Next, just waiting for the orders from the generals, the army can march at night, all the way north, and begin to continue the war that was stopped due to the rainy season.
The local coach, King Yama, was still sitting in the main hall of the military government office on the top of the mountain, leaning back on his chair and closing his eyes to meditate behind the scenes.
In his mind, he quickly calculated any possible emergencies after the war started and thought about countermeasures.
Although he and his generals have already discussed these matters in great detail, King Yama is relatively calm in his work. He is willing to think more and see more about everything so that he can find more ways or countermeasures to avoid being in trouble on the battlefield.
The above strategy is single.
Although thousands of thoughts were running through his mind, King Yama's expression now looked much calmer.
Although the war was imminent, as the coach, he was calmer and more stable.
At the same time, he waited patiently for the moment when the military drums sounded for the army to set off.
I don’t know how long it took, but the ears of King Yama, who was sitting alone in the main hall, moved slightly, and he vaguely heard three heavy and powerful drums in the sound of the wind, coming from far and near, and floated to the main hall of the military government office.
When the third drum sound came, King Yama calmed down and suddenly opened his eyes.
There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he looked straight forward, looking outside the open door.
Outside the gate, there was only an invisible strong wind whistling by. The lantern above the door swayed, creating a wave of swaying shadows.
Amidst the sound of the wind, King Yama, who no longer thought about it, heard the whizzing sounds of flying objects coming from all around him, soaring into the sky. Those were the flying thunder chariots, aerial cavalry and flying aerial vehicles of the Nine Nether Kingdom.
The sound of troops flying towards the night sky.
Among these sounds, there were also bursts of animal hooves and footsteps, which kept ringing in the wind and rain.
The Nine Nether Country's army has already begun to take action.
King Yama's heart had been silent for a long time. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart.
But soon a wave of sadness surged from the bottom of my heart.
King Yama has rehearsed this battle countless times in his mind. Although the army of Jiuyou Kingdom took the initiative to attack and had a slight advantage, the battle would be so tragic. Even if King Yama did not go to the front line personally, he would still be able to do so.
It can be expected.
Many soldiers will never return after tonight. When they return to their homeland of Jiuyou Country, most of them will probably turn into fistfuls of bloody powder.
But this battle has to be fought; once you choose to defend and fall into passivity, any point on the Thousand Miles of Defense Line and the border line of Dongyingzhou will become a fatal weakness for the Jiuyou Army stationed here.
What's more, the Jiuyou Kingdom's rear area in Dongyingzhou has only settled down in recent months and gained hard-won peace and stability. Xiao Shizhu knew that King Yama also knew that in the face of so many constraints, the Jiuyou Kingdom had only
Only by attacking and keeping the enemy at bay can they maintain the victory they had finally won.
King Yama, who quickly put away his sadness, was filled with respect. The soldiers he was commanding now knew that they might never return, but they still went resolutely. This kind of courage can always be achieved.
Let King Yama stand in awe of the soldiers who set foot on the battlefield.
While King Yama admired him, he remembered what Xiao Shizhu shouted to the Jiuyou Army when he was commanding the battle in Dongyi Continent more than a year ago: "Behind us are our country and countless unarmed people.
The ghost people, you and I have no way out."
Sometimes, King Yama would feel very resentful towards Xiao Shizhu's words. Because Xiao Shizhu could incite the Nine Nether Army to go forward without fear of death and willingly die on the battlefield with just a few words.
But if you think about it carefully, perhaps for many years, this belief has supported the Jiuyou Kingdom's army to move forward. Even in the early days of the founding of the Jiuyou Kingdom, when the national power was weak, it was able to conquer all directions and conquer all directions.
Thinking of this, King Yama secretly sighed in his heart: "Perhaps the most powerful weapon in this world is not the most unpredictable magic of gods and ghosts, nor the firearms and weapons that are constantly developing and becoming more and more powerful. Maybe it is faith.
.”.
Just as he was sighing secretly, his lieutenant strode in from outside the door, quickly walked to King Yama and stood in front of him. Without even bothering to salute, he hurriedly reported: "Commander, the Eighth Route Army has been exhausted."
When we attack, General Chunhan's army will be the first to attack, and they will capture the target farthest from our Dushuo Mountain, Yuanyi, as quickly as possible."
When the word "Yi Yi" came out of the deputy general's mouth, King Yama lowered his head and looked at the map spread out on the table in front of him.
On the table legs, a bronze lamp dotted with luminous beads emits a soft white light, which just illuminates the map.
Under the white light, King Yama quickly found the icon of Yuyi on the map, and set his sights on the place southwest of Yitian Mountain.
The map shows the geographical appearance of Yuyi, a long and narrow valley extending from northeast to southwest, with a total length of only eleven or twelve miles.
Although the valley is not big, it is surrounded by mountains on the left and right. It is only a dozen miles away from Yitian Mountain and is the only way from Yitian Mountain to the southwest.
As long as Chunyun firmly defends this place, it will be difficult and long for the enemy to enter the southwest area between Dushuo Mountain and Yitian Mountain.
The enemy's supply lines and reinforcement routes will also be lengthened as a result.
And Chunhan is also the army most likely to be attacked by enemies from all sides.
However, this general is not a soft persimmon, nor is he a fool who can only talk on paper. Although Chunhan, who has experienced more than ten battles in the past few years, is young, he has extremely rich battlefield experience.
He also served as the bodyguard general for Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother when they toured various parts of the country. He was steady and calm. This is exactly why King Yama arranged Chunhan here.
Coupled with the steep geographical location of the mountains on both sides of Yuyi, as long as the troops are properly dispatched and arranged, this place will become the most troublesome battlefield for the enemy in the entire war.
"According to the latest intelligence and news, the main force of the enemy coalition, about 450,000 troops, and the vanguard army of 150,000 people, have all crossed the Yitian Mountains." He leaned slightly and stretched out his hand to point to the southern area of the Yitian Mountains on the map.
Drawing a virtual circle, he said to King Yama at the same time: "Our fungus intelligence personnel discovered that they
A tent was set up here, and the beast souls and a large amount of food from several nearby villages and towns were forcibly collected. I was afraid that I would have to rest here for a day before continuing to move south slowly. In this way, I could survive for a few days.
When they arrived in front of Dushuo Mountain, their sergeants were not tired. And by then, the rainy season had completely passed."
This countermeasure is indeed feasible.
But after all calculations, these enemy coalition forces have ignored two fatal factors. The first is that after the rainy season, the roads will be muddy for three to five days, or even longer. There are also some roads back during the rainy season that need to be rebuilt.
, this will block the enemy's transportation and supply lines.
Second, the powerful intelligence system of the Nine Nether Kingdom army will obtain information about such a large-scale military operation in advance.
Moreover, as soon as the enemy enters the southern area of Yitian Mountain, they wantonly confiscate grain and grass, which shows that the enemy's logistical supplies are not absolutely guaranteed.
At the same time, such a large-scale forced conquest will only make the local people lose heart towards the enemy and coalition forces.
The army of Jiuyou Kingdom has strict military disciplines. The military regulations set by Xiao Shizhu are not to disturb the people, not to hurt the people, not to rob the people's finances, etc., which are in sharp contrast to the enemy's tough food requisition and robbery behavior.
It’s clear at a glance whether it’s good or bad. In the end, people’s hearts will be on the side of Jiuyou Kingdom.
"Very good." King Yama's eyes were filled with joy, and there was a little excitement on his face. He looked at the map and said: "Mobilize the thirty ships from the rear and put them into combat readiness. Order the cavalry to also be ready.
Preparation for battle,Chun Yuyi
Once the Yuyi Valley was captured, the cavalry immediately attacked according to the lord's military orders, bypassing the enemy's rear, and conducting large-scale attacks and destruction of the enemy's logistics supply lines. When necessary, any roads and bridges were also the targets of the cavalry.
”.
"The order has been passed. Both the Xiancha and the cavalry are ready to rush to the battlefield at any time." His lieutenant nodded in response and said: "I will go and pass the order for you later.".
"Do you want..." After a pause, the deputy general asked again: "Immediately report to Yuque City that we have started taking action?".
King Yama was not in a hurry to agree to anything, he just pondered deeply.
He is the only ghost in Dushuo Mountain who knows that Yuque City is holding a state banquet today to welcome the Qingqiu Fox King to visit Yuque City.
King Yama calculated the time. It should be the time when the state banquet was being held, and it was the most joyful and lively time. It would be better not to disturb Xiao Shizhu's "elegant mood".
Thinking of this, King Yama slowly shook his head and said: "We are commanding at the front line to control the battle situation for the lord. We don't report all the big and small things. Let's do this first. When the battle situation here has the result, we will report it to Yuque.
It’s not too late for the palace.”
"Yes." The deputy general didn't think much about it or say anything more about it. He just obeyed the order and said...
Yuque City is bustling and Dushuo Mountain is tense, but far away from these two places, Luofu Mountain in the center of the underworld has become quiet after nightfall.
The night light at the entrance of the palace illuminates the square outside the gate. The surrounding jungle is shadowy.
Heavily armed guards guarding the palace gates stood around the palace gates, performing security duties.
Groups of cavalry were patrolling back and forth in the square and in the surrounding jungle.
The guard's palace door has been closed tightly.
After nightfall, the Six Heavens Palace of Gods and Ghosts on the top of the mountain will be closed. Any ghost ministers and ghost officials who want to enter the palace have to wait at the door. If Emperor Fengdu has already fallen asleep, they will not be able to enter the palace again.
At this moment, the King of Wheels was standing in the square outside the palace gate, waiting for a reply from the palace.
He desperately wanted to enter the palace tonight.
The somewhat anxious Chakravartin King could not stand at the same place. Sometimes he turned in circles, sometimes walked back and forth, sometimes stopped, and looked up at the sky full of stars and bright galaxies.
The anxious look has always been attached to the face of the Wheel King, lingering.
And these anxious emotions came from the piece of information in his hand.
This piece of information was delivered to Fengdu a few hours ago and handed over to the Wheeling King. As soon as he saw the information, the Wheeling King couldn't wait to go up the mountain before he finished his dinner.
The reason for being so anxious and anxious is because this information comes from the Jiuyou Kingdom area, it also contains information about the Jiuyou Kingdom, and is closely related to the interests of the Beiyin Dynasty.
Then the King of Wheels couldn't wait to go straight to the top of the mountain and arrived in front of the palace gate of the Six Heavens Palace of Gods and Ghosts.
Unfortunately, the wheel-turning king came a step too late; the palace gate of the six heavenly gods and ghosts had been closed on time, and the wheel-turning king could only wait anxiously in the small square in front of the palace gate.
While King Lun Lian was anxious, he looked forward to the fact that Emperor Fengdu had not yet fallen asleep behind the palace gate. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the palace again tonight.
No palace slave would dare to wake up Emperor Fengdu, the most powerful person in the underworld, after he had fallen asleep.
Just when the anxiety in the wheel-turning king's heart was getting worse and worse, the closed palace door slowly opened. (To be continued)
