Rumbling sounds came one after another at the foot of Dushuo Mountain.
The mountain trembled slightly under the thunderous noise.
In the mountain breeze, the pungent smell of thick smoke gradually rose.
Although the military government office far away on the top of the mountain only felt a slight tremor and the smell of smoke did not disperse from the top of the mountain so quickly, King Yama and his lieutenants inside also heard faint shouts of killing.
Coming from the west side of the mountain.
King Yama's heart skipped a beat, as he expected that the port at the foot of the mountain had been attacked.
His guess was correct. Under the cover of night, a group of fast cavalry under Si You's command headed straight for the port at the foot of Dushuo Mountain at a speed as fast as thunder.
On this matter, Si You seems to have a clear understanding with King Yama.
King Yama attacked Siyou at night, and Siyou also attacked his camp at night.
Their purpose is almost the same, striving to weaken each other's strength.
It's just that King Yama is at a disadvantage; there are several miles of land to the north of the port that is undefeated, and if it falls to the north, the port will be wide open, which means that Siyou can drive straight into the port and cut off their sea transportation route.
, and you can drive straight into his rear from the side of Dushuo Mountain.
King Yama is about to face a difficult and fierce battle.
But having said that, easy battles are naturally fought by mediocre ghosts. Xiao Shizhu nailed King Yama to Dushuo Mountain like a nail, not only because this place is important, guarding the throat of the central part of the west coast of Dongyingzhou, from now on
It cuts through the north and south sides of the west coast.
It's even more because once a war breaks out here, it won't be an easy or easy war to fight.
And he, King Yama, is not a mediocre ghost, he has extremely high leadership and military management skills.
The King of Yama did not disappoint Xiao Shizhu. Immediately, his mind was racing, and he ordered the deputy general beside him in a quick voice: "Quickly go and order the two battalions of air cavalry, divide them into two, and divide one into two."
Rush straight down from the foothills to block the enemy's night attack, and some will circle behind the enemy's back to cut off their retreat. Be fast, and fight fast!"
At the same time, his messenger was trotting towards him from outside the door.
When the deputy general took the order and rushed out, he stood in front of King Yama, panting heavily, and hurriedly reported back: "Commander, the enemy is attacking our port."
"Send the order, naval warships leave the harbor for the time being." King Yama gave the order to the fungus: "Check out the whereabouts of enemy ships in the offshore waters. Once an enemy ship is discovered, it will be sunk upon discovery."
He knew that the enemy's attack target was heading straight to the port, and he should have listed the naval warships of the Nine Nether Kingdom's army parked at the port as targets for attack.
Even if the enemy does not have as advanced firearms as Jiuyou Kingdom, as long as the enemy rushes onto the warship or sets fire from high altitude, they can use the wind to burn down a warship.
It is the best way for warships to leave port and take temporary refuge.
The fungus people didn't ask why, and without hesitation, they concentrated their energy and sent this military order down the mountain with their spiritual consciousness and thoughts connected to the fungus world.
"The Western Foot Thunder Vehicle will also take off immediately, preparing for an air attack on the enemy." King Yama called out urgently, turned his head again, and looked at the map in front of him.
He glanced at the north side of Dushuo Mountain on the map and began to think deeply.
In the flash of lightning, he suddenly thought that maybe the enemy troops attacking at night were bait to attack in the east and west?
Following this line of thought, King Yama thought quickly, and soon thought that if this was really the case, Si You would not take the opportunity to attack in the chaos, and the enemy's vanguard should soon arrive at the foot of the northern foot of Dushuo Mountain.
Attack under cover of night.
"The troops stationed at the northern foot remain where they are and be prepared to meet the enemy." Thinking of this, King Yama immediately ordered the fungi who had already finished conveying the order: "Once the enemy is defended, fight back according to plan A."
The army of Jiuyou Kingdom has a habit of preparing various defense plans in advance based on various intelligences when stationed in place, so that when war suddenly breaks out, they will not be caught off guard.
This good habit now saves King Yama from his panic.
The fungus man quickly spread his military orders one after another throughout the mountains and to the generals under King Yama.
Some of the elite air cavalry from the Nine Nether Kingdom have already been dispatched, and according to King Yama's military order, they are heading straight towards the port.
When these air cavalry came to the sky above the port, they looked down and saw that the northern part of the port was already filled with thick smoke and flames.
The enemy's fast cavalry who came all the way to raid were each riding a kind of beast soul called Hao Gao from Dongyingzhou. This kind of beast soul is mostly gray or yellow-haired, shaped like a wolf, and has red hair.
His head and mouse-like eyes are full of bloodthirsty desire for human souls.
The red-eyed Haogao moves quickly, and performs several charges and jumps in one go. He can always easily avoid the firecrackers fired by some of the Jiuyou Army, and then pounces on the lone Jiuyou Kingdom ghost soldier, with a fang straight at the neck.
, biting off its neck with all his might.
The enemy cavalry sitting on Hao Gao charged with swords or spears in one hand and torches in the other, setting fire to all the houses on the beach and the sentry towers built by the Jiuyou Army.
Although the Jiuyou National Army stationed on the beach was suddenly attacked by the enemy, it was caught off guard. Facing the menacing enemy army, the Jiuyou Army was the first to lose, and soon lost the first line of defense in the north.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately organized a counterattack.
The infantry among them used each small flag as a unit to cover each other and began to block the enemy. The Jiuyou Kingdom cavalry on the beach also rushed towards the enemy's cavalry.
Try to keep the enemy away from the center of the port.
Nowadays, the beach is full of killing sounds, and the sound of gunfire echoes through the night sky.
Throwing blood mist and broken limbs can also be seen everywhere under the firelight.
Jiuyou Kingdom's reaction speed was obviously beyond the enemy's expectations.
Siyou's army was shocked. Although they fought back, they were still trying to get closer. However, the offensive was obviously getting slower and slower as it moved forward, and its momentum slowly weakened amidst the continuous gunfire from the Jiuyou army.
Moreover, the ghost soldiers in Si You's army soon discovered that the entire port was spacious at both ends, and the middle area was relatively long and narrow. As a result, the one-line formation used by Si You's army in the previous attack seemed to be stretched.
They could only use refueling tactics according to the terrain, and gradually approached the beach. The Jiuyou National Army on the beach had already adjusted their hands, and more than a dozen thunderbolts were pointed at Si You.
Army them.
Tongues of fire continued to spit out from the muzzle of the thunderbolt, and under the dazzling fire light, Jiuyouguo's fire blunderbuss, which could fire a large number of blunderbuss for a long time, quickly shot the angry blunderbuss at the enemy.
.
The barrel of the gun slowly warmed up a little, and each musket roared, riding on the wind, tearing apart the air in its path, and headed straight towards the enemy.
Although the beast-spirited beasts ridden by these fast riders sent by Si You were agile, they were not as fast as the muskets. Moreover, they did not have copper heads and iron arms. Under the dense design of the muskets, they were hit one after another.
A stream of animal blood spurted out, and the scorpions that were riddled with holes in an instant fell to the beach one after another on the way to the charge, killing their riders who were still alive or had been killed by gunfire.
Thrown forward violently.
Although the soft beach was not enough to knock down the surviving enemy riders to death, when the fallen enemy riders got up, they were hit in the face with muskets.
Then when the ghost blood spattered, the faces of these enemy soldiers were opened by the blunderbuss from Jiuyou Kingdom, leaving behind a bloody face and the bloody holes left after the blunderbuss penetrated them.
The advanced firearms of Jiuyou Kingdom made the war even more bloody, cruel and hysterical.
Si You's army went on and on, gradually turning the sand on the beach red.
The Jiuyou National Army also moved in the fierce fire oil tank and mobilized Zhu Rong's ghost soldiers.
The ghost soldiers of the Zhu Rong clan kneaded the magic formula with their hands, channeling the ghost energy, and their stomachs slowly bulged with strangeness.
Their bodies were filled with fire and heat was rising all over their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, these Zhu Rong's ghost soldiers opened their mouths at the enemy troops rushing forward, and streaks of flames immediately spurted out from their lips and teeth. Like arrows from the string, the flames rushed towards the enemy troops.
The arranged fire oil tanks were also aimed at Si Youjun's cavalry. The flames were like fire dragons with teeth and claws, roaring and flying forward.
As the fire shot up into the sky, screams from the enemy soldiers kept ringing out from the billowing smoke. Then they reached the sky, and there were screams in the sky, followed by loud thunder-like noises.
The air cavalry from the Nine Nether Kingdom began to join the battle.
These aerial cavalry from the Nine Nether Kingdom first saw the target clearly with the guidance of the firelight, and then used small cannons fixed on the beast souls from high altitude to fire at the enemy on the ground without hesitation.
The shells fell on the enemy's heads like a violent storm. The originally soft and light sand on the beach was thrown high one after another during the explosion, like thin springs composed of sand.
The explosion of the artillery shell shook the earth and turned the sand on the beach black.
The broken limbs of Si Youjun and their mounts were also thrown away in the flames.
From this moment on, Si You's army not only failed to move any further towards the center of the harbor, their previously unstoppable offensive pace came to a standstill.
The Zhu Rong clan's ghost soldiers of the Jiuyou Kingdom and the flames spewed from the fierce oil tanks also formed a wall of fire between the two armies. The tongues of fire licked and melted the bodies of the dead sergeants of the Si You Army, lighting up the sky.
The sight range of the Jiuyou Kingdom's air cavalry also blocked the path forward of Siyou's army.
What frightens the Si You Army even more is that the air cavalry of the Nine Nether Kingdom has been hovering above their heads without falling. However, the fire cannons equipped by the air cavalry have been aimed at the Si You Army on the ground, chasing them.
The enemies of Youguo pursued and attacked fiercely.
A loud noise is always accompanied by an explosion that breaks the heart of Si Youjun. Immediately, several or a dozen Siyou soldiers will be killed in the explosion, and not even a whole corpse can be left behind.
Si You's troops lost their fighting spirit in fear, and they began to tacitly retreat towards the way they came.
But the orderly pace before was gone. In a panic, Si Youjun scrambled to leave the harbor battlefield.
But in this way, it is inevitable that they will step on each other.
Among those Si You soldiers who fled in panic, many soldiers did not die under the powerful guns of the Jiuyou National Army, but were trampled to death by their companions while fleeing.
But when Si You's troops scrambled to escape from the battlefield on the beach, they suddenly discovered that their nightmare was not over.
The shelling and thunder and lightning falling from the sky blocked their retreat.
Another group of air cavalry in the Jiuyou National Army, as well as all the flying thunder vehicles stationed at the western foot of Dushuo Mountain, have blocked their way.
The front and rear pincer attacks have been completed, and the Jiuyou National Army on the beach has re-adjusted its troops. The cavalry took the lead and chased the enemy. The infantry followed closely behind, and the cavalry pursued and beat the fleeing Si You army.
.
The sounds of fighting and screams on the beach continued to ring through the night sky.
Under the night sky covered with dark clouds, the fire was bright red and the smoke was billowing. The smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger.
This news was immediately spread among the military government offices on the top of the mountain.
The originally quiet main hall of the military government office was brightly lit and became lively and noisy.
The smell of blood brought by the gusts of night wind cheered up the generals of the Jiuyou National Army who gathered in the main hall.
A huge sand table has been moved out and placed on the ground in the middle of the main hall.
Dushuo Mountain and the surrounding terrain of dozens of miles in radius were piled up on the sand table, exactly replicating the surrounding environment.
On the edge of the long table where the sand table is placed, there are also various wooden sculptures placed, each of which is the size of an adult fungus and as long as an adult man's hand.
These villains were all made to look like ghost soldiers, either riding beast spirits, or standing, holding swords, spears, halberds, or firecrackers in their hands.
The appearance is basically the same, but the color is divided into two. One part is red and the other part is black.
The liaison man standing by the sand table received the reply to the battle report and immediately relayed it to all the generals present: "Report from the seaport, the enemy troops on the beach have been cleared, and the enemy is retreating north. Our army has blocked the way, front and rear.
The siege has been completed. Even though the casualties are somewhat serious, more than 800 of the seaport garrison, officials, and craftsmen have been wiped out by the enemy's surprise attack."
As the fungus man spoke, a demon general standing beside him immediately placed several wooden figures on the sand table in front of him, on the beach and harbor to the west, according to the fungus man's instructions.
King Yama standing opposite looked at the sand table.
After the wooden figures are placed, the battle situation becomes clear at a glance.
It was just that King Yama clenched his hands tightly on the edge of the long case on the sand table and did not let go for a long time.
The veins on the backs of his hands, which were no longer delicate but rather rough, slowly swelled.
The death of more than 800 ghosts made King Yama's eyes filled with anger.
He immediately said angrily: "Hit, give me a hard beating on these surrounded enemy troops. As long as they don't surrender, I will kill them without mercy!".
The fungus people were busy passing orders, and the general beside King Yama took the message and reported to him: "As per your request, Marshal, the fungus people's ground scouts have already gone north, and our forward posts are all ready.
The scouts in the air cavalry have also been dispatched. According to your order, Commander, we will conduct high-altitude reconnaissance thirty miles north. As long as the enemy makes any moves, we will be able to detect it in advance."
King Yama nodded with satisfaction.
He should try his best to avoid being successfully attacked by the enemy.
But King Yama was still worried, and Si You took advantage of this and started to attack the east and the west.
"Commander." After a moment, the fungus man who had finished delivering the order raised his head and looked at King Yama. After pondering for a while, he reported to him: "The forward sentry reported that the enemy has indeed moved, and the main force of the army is moving all the way to the southeast.
.”.
"Southeast?" King Yama, who was slightly startled, opened his eyes slightly and looked towards the southwest of the sand table.
From the sand table that restored the terrain, you can see the eastern foot of Dushuo Mountain, just southeast of Si Youjun.
Si You gave King Yama another surprise; instead of hitting the front of Jiuyou Kingdom, he took a sideways approach and went straight to the east foot of Dushuo Mountain.
This trick is really damaging!
The muscles in the corner of King Yama's eyes twitched several times, and the anger in his eyes became even stronger.
Si You is subordinated like this, which means that Dushuo Mountain will be used by Si You and become his barrier, blocking all artillery support from the Jiuyou Kingdom Navy ships!
