Under the control of the super controller, the puppets performed excellent performances on the stage, which successfully aroused the audience's applause and thunderous applause. Xiao Shizhu frowned in this cheers and gradually fell into the scene.
meditation.
Although the Jiuyou Kingdom is strong and its military combat power is one of the best in the underworld, Jiuyou Kingdom is not an ancient ghost country after all. Now that the eastern expedition has begun, if the western expedition begins, it will inevitably be in the disadvantage of fighting on both sides.
Even though Xiao Shizhu had a thousand angers to kill him, he had to endure it.
At present, he does not have the ability to fight at the same time on both sides, and this is a two-line battle across the sea. Once he is impulsive, it will only bring shortage of military resources to the Jiuyou Kingdom, and the disadvantage of opening up the door. Moreover, the front line between the two lines is too long.
, the logistics of transporting materials will inevitably have various unpredictable defects.
Thinking about this, even though Xiao Shizhu was displeased and reluctant, he could only try his best to restrain himself.
In order to defeat Du Ziren in one blow, he endured for five years. Now he endured for another five years.
Just as he finished his call, he noticed that her husband's abnormal ghost mother turned around and looked at Xiao Shizhu who was frowning. He quickly turned his head slightly, approached her husband's ear and asked whispered: "Why are you feeling depressed?"
"It's okay, you can watch the show first." After Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, he gave Shen Ji a look that he had kept it secret, and continued to pretend to be nothing and look at the stage.
The ghost mother was very sure that her husband had definitely received some bad news from Shen Ji; but Xiao Shizhu didn't say it and she couldn't ask her, so she had to suppress her curiosity and suspicion and continue to watch the puppet ghost drama...
..
In Aoki County, Zhu Hai rode a horse with the same size as his horse, but with a white body, black tail, a horn in his head, two rows of sharp teeth and four feet as claws, heading towards Aoki County.
Running to the northwest.
Following him closely were five hundred elite cavalrymen of the Jiuyou Kingdom. The mounts under each rider were all like this beast soul named Ma Jiao.
They were going to the northwest border, a place called Long Chuchuan. Lin Cong gave them the death order: they must rush to the border before dawn.
This line flows out from the hills northeast of Xiazhou Kingdom, and is only a hundred miles long. It starts from the northwest and extends southeastward, and goes straight into Longchu Lake in Qingmu County, Jiuyou Kingdom, and the widest one is only ten feet on both sides of the river.
, and the shores around Longchu Lake are covered with lush lilac dragon grass, so the river and lake are both named after the word Longchu.
This dragon straw grass can be used to feed the beast soul, so that its physical strength, endurance, and speed can be increased, and it can travel hundreds or even thousands of miles a day. This is also the reason why Xiao Shizhu first seized Mao and the Republic of China from the Eastern Expedition.
This dragon hu herb is mostly artificially grown in Jiuyou Country. However, after all, it is not as effective as this wild dragon hu herb on Longchu River and the dragon hu herb beside Longchu Lake.
Now, although this treasure land with wild dragon grass was taken away by Jiuyou Kingdom, the neighboring Xiazhou Kingdom has long been eyeing him. They are taking advantage of the Fengdu army's unstoppable momentum, and Jiuyou Kingdom is in Dongyi again.
The Zhongzhong still has an unstable foothold and wants to send a large army to advance eastward to seize the vulgarity of Long Chuchuan.
Lin Cong, who received a secret report from the Xuan Cult in advance, said that the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou were gathering, immediately sent Zhu Hai to lead 500 cavalrymen to support him without stopping.
This is not Lin Cong’s little flag, but the idle soldiers in his hands, and there are only these five hundred cavalrymen.
Although he brought 280,000 troops, Aoki County was not small and all the places had to guard the troops. The post-war reconstruction work had just begun, and manpower and material resources had to be sent to all parts of the county.
As a result, Lin Cong was somewhat stretched.
Fortunately, he had recruited a lot of soldiers on the spot before and was training at this time. As long as Zhu Hai could hold the east of Longchucao for half a month, Lin Cong could send him support.
Moreover, the artillery of Jiuyou Kingdom is advanced enough to fight a hundred. As long as Zhu Hai can rely on the favorable terrain on Longchuchuan to resist the invading enemy, it will be fine if he has been defended for half a month.
However, whether it was Lin Cong, who was in charge of the county or Zhu Hai, who was rushing to support him, he did not know that the operation of Xiazhou was instigated by a traitor who was planted by Shebi's corpse in Xiazhou.
The reason is that Jiuyou Kingdom rejected his alliance request. Therefore, when Shebishi also wanted Jiuyou Kingdom to be uneasy, it made Xiazhou Kingdom unstable.
Once the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou Kingdom expeditions in the east, domestic logistics support will definitely be given priority to the Eastern Expedition Army, not the Fengdu Army; and Jiuyou Kingdom loots the Fengdu Army's supplies at the sea, so the pressure on the Shebi corpse will be reduced.
Much smaller.
"High-up horses and whip, we must rush over before dawn." Zhu Hai, who was galloping on the official road, looked at Yin Yue, which was gradually sinking eastward in the sky, shouted at the cavalry behind him, and at the same time, he whipped the horse under his crotch with a short whip in his hand and thrust his horse in his crotch.
He whispered his hips twice, and he thrust the horse, which was running and panting, making a roar like a drum. (Because the horse's screams were like a drum.)
The cavalry behind him whipped silently, whipping their mounts, speeding up.
With the sound of hooves, dust flew continuously under the four claws of the horsemen, rising high under the night and heading straight into the sky.
After the cavalry ran for a while under the night, Zhu Hai, who was in charge, finally saw the flashing lights not far away.
And what flew past him was Longchu Lake, immersed in the night starlight; the lake was as quiet as a mirror, reflecting the nebula and moonlight in the sky.
Without saying a word, Zhu Hai ran towards the place where the lights flashed northwest of the lake. As he got closer and closer, Zhu Hai saw clearly the river bank ahead, and was about to rush to traffic, which was a natural danger.
On the intersecting mountains, there are many forts built along the mountains, and towers stand on the rocks.
Behind these forts and towers, terraced fields have been reclaimed on the hillside near the county; just when spring rain comes, crops will be planted in these fields to provide food for the soldiers guarding the place.
At the foot of the mountain, there are dozens of towers and docks, which are horn-shaped with the fortifications on the mountain, echoing each other.
The fire lights that echo the stars in the sky are from the distance, which are revealed from these towers and fortresses.
Zhu Hai secretly lamented Lin Cong's decisive behavior. In just one month, not only did he send people to repair the fortifications, but he also reclaimed a lot of fields. When he had to admire him, he drove the beast forward and listened carefully.
But when the lights flashed, there were no shouts or screams of killing or guns, and the hearts that were held along the way fell to the ground for a while.
After half a cup of hot tea, Zhu Hai and his first-class cavalry finally rushed to the bottom of the mountain.
The soldiers guarding the mountain had already seen the dust rising under the night. They were ready to go and put the guns into the muskets, and they all extended the pitch-black muzzle from behind the horse and pointed forward.
Their oncoming cavalrymen.
The tiger squat cannons in the artillery tower behind these guards also calibrated the muzzles.
"I am Zhu Hai, the ghost general sent by Lord Lin to support him." When the guards in front of the tower were still three or five feet away, Zhu Hai shouted loudly.
"The leader comes over with the official documents of the troops being transferred, and the other soldiers are not allowed to step closer." A ghost among the guards immediately shouted. Although they had already received a message from the fungus, they said that a team of cavalry would come to support before dawn; most of them were
The cavalry in front of me. But the guards still have to follow the procedures and verify their true nature first.
Zhu Hai held the reins of the horse and ordered the cavalry behind him to stop, and then walked forward slowly with his official document in his hand.
He handed over the official documents to the guards in the head. After the other party used the fire in the brazier to verify that the official documents were not fake, he took a small flag and handed it to Zhu Hai: "The general just holds this flag and guards the pass here.
The camp will be waiting at the top of the mountain.”
After Zhu Hai bowed and thanked him, he slowly walked past the tower with his cavalry, and followed the path between the mountains and headed towards the top of the mountain.
The mountains here are not too high. Zhu Hai and other ghost cavalrymen walked less than a quarter of an hour before they arrived on the top of the mountain.
When Aoki County was still called Mao's Republic of China, a flat land of about 30 acres had been reclaimed. There was a school site on the top and a high-rise building. It could be a one-man who could serve as a pass or a cannon under the mountains.
Echoing the camp.
Zhu Hai brought his cavalry to the middle of the gatehouse, and immediately rushed to the entire campus. On the edge of the campus, there was already a man wearing armor, a bird's head under the audience.
The hands and feet are slightly more powerful than ordinary human souls, and the back is not covered with wings.
This type of ghost was a hypocritical monk during his lifetime. He wore a robber and begged for alms everywhere. It was hypothetical that he was curing the people's illnesses. In fact, he squandered all the money he had transformed, and thus suffered the retribution of breaking the precepts. Once the soul arrived at the underworld, it grew into
This looks like this.
But he can walk quickly and run no less than those beast souls who are good at running. Before the use of the fungus, this type of ghost was the messenger of the Jiuyou Kingdom.
Not only the Nine Nether Kingdom, but also other countries in the Underworld.
After Xiao Shizhu launched the Kanren, all these ghosts changed their careers, and most of them joined the Jiuyou Kingdom Army and made great achievements in the southern expedition of Du Ziren.
Now, the rapid-moving ghost standing in front of Zhu Hai is a member of the army who was expeditioning south. Ming Jishang is the general guarding the gate here.
"General Zhu is suffering first." Ji Shang walked forward and met Zhu Hai who turned over and got off the horse.
"The Jiying General does not need to exchange greetings. The prefect Lin has an order. The last general is ordered to come here to support him. Everything is subject to the arrangements of Jiying General." Zhu Hai bowed and bowed, frowned slightly and said, "I walked all the way to the top of the mountain and saw patrols everywhere.
The air was filled with the smell of war. Is it because the Xiazhou national soldiers have arrived in front of the pass?"
"To be honest, in the evening, the Xiazhou Army had already gathered on the border. There were roughly 100,000 infantry soldiers and 70 warships." Ji Shang raised his hand and wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and said quickly:
"There are also many nesting cars and bed crossbows that have been transported one after another."
As he said this, he took Zhu Hai to the northwest of the schoolyard, raised his hand and kept far away. The lights spread out like stars on the ground, and said, "Please look at General Zhu, that's the ghost of Xiazhou.
The camp of soldiers.”
In the night breeze, Zhu Hai looked in the direction of Ji Shang's finger and saw that in the northwest, there were many lights like stars, and they looked like several silhouetted fire dragons, which were very spectacular.
"I was ordered to come to defend the enemy, but I wonder if they have crossed the border?" After careful consideration, Zhu Hai frowned and thought.
When Ji Shang heard this, he frowned. There seemed to be a Sichuan character standing between his eyebrows. He said in a hint of embarrassment: "This is the difficulty. They did not cross the border, but they just pushed the troops to open the formation. And
After all, we are not fighting but defending our territory. We can cross the border and fight, which is really a dilemma."
"I'll say more, this is not difficult, and everything in Guanzhong is still the same." Zhu Hai looked carefully with the flames in the enemy camp for a while and saw that although the ghost soldiers of Xiazhou were coming in a fierce manner, they were among the camps.
Without cooperation, nor cooperation, he said lightly: "I will lead cavalry to station at the foot of the mountain. Once the enemy invades, I will cooperate with Jiying to defend the enemy." (To be continued)
