The dark sun gradually falling eastward was particularly bright today, making the sky in the underworld in the afternoon blood red, like blood spreading out all over the sky. Only a bright red left between the sky, and even the clouds were dyed blood red.
After the enemy retreated, Manjiang City was exchanged for a brief tranquility and temporary comfort.
The river breeze outside the city, and the black fog made of ghost energy rising from the river spread out on the river, allowing the cold wind to run around without blowing away. The sentries in the city stared vigilantly outside the city, and the soldiers were busy catching the time.
After resting, the craftsmen were busy repairing the damaged areas of fortifications in various places.
Xiao Shizhu and Gushe Goddess were still sitting in front of the palace gate, staring at the city ahead. The cold wind rustled through the streets and alleys in the city, making sharp whistlings.
Xiao Shizhu's sudden and unconscious words made the goddess of Guzhao see a little confused.
In the past few days, the enemy troops outside the city have always had extremely fierce offensives, and the Gushu Goddess, who also participated in the city defense, clearly saw it. Although the artillery of Jiuyou Kingdom is very fierce, it has not been able to do it either.
The joint army was frightened.
Every time the joint army launches an attack, millions of troops will be launched. Under the sound of the drums and the sound of the gongs, under the escort of the sturdy air cavalry, there are thousands of reeling aircraft or vehicle-mounted companies.
The crossbow chariots sprinted across the board. The cavalry, the beast souls of the road, his four hooves and four claws, ran wildly. There were many types and a large number of siege equipment, which frequently approached the city walls under the guards of infantry with bright helmets and high-spirited fighting spirit.
Every attack is cold and fog is shaking. The united army can always bring dark air and strong winds outside the city. Under the flying sand and rocks, the soil and dust can be seen everywhere. It is like the sky and the earth are dim and the sun and the moon are dark.
Heavy.
Moreover, these enemy troops were all full of energy, from Fengdu Army to Black-toothed Ghost Soldiers, to Fusang Army and the Soul Army, they were all smooth and smooth. They didn't seem like they were not full and were about to lose food?
Xiao Shizhu smiled but said nothing; the goddess of Guzhai didn't know, but he wouldn't know that a few days ago, his flying army and the air cavalry burned seven or eight out of ten of the other party's military rations during the night attack. And in the coastal area
Li Tian Ying and Gonggong, who were fighting, had also destroyed most of the supply ships of the Beiyin Navy that came from the east, and destroyed them with the ammunition and food on the ship and the tamsui.
The Beiyin Navy forced the Northeast to go north along the coast and to the Fengdu Army behind the eastern expedition to provide supplies.
There is only one grain and grass, and there are so many ghosts who want to eat at once, and there will always be no food that cannot be eaten. And the core area of the Northern Yin Dynasty, Liutianzhou, is not three to five steps away from Dongyizhou.
It is impossible to lose food from the Six Heavenly Prefecture overnight. It is inevitable that the Fengdu army will be hungry immediately.
People are like ghosts, and they can do anything once they are hungry. Since the Fengdu Army is a joint army, once they are hungry, they will deduct the military rations of other ghost troops.
"You just wait and watch the fun. It won't take long to fight the enemies outside the city because of the food." After a long time, Xiao Shizhu finished speaking this and stopped talking.
The goddess of Guzhao surrendered, and he didn't want to say anything more. So he fooled it with a few ambiguous words.
When the goddess of Guzhao heard this, she spent all her brains and thought hard for a while, but still couldn't figure out why he could say such confident words?
A moment later, Xiao Shizhu saw her looking at her with a puzzled look, and thought for a while, and felt that the goddess of Gushe and the Lu Xian'er ghost soldiers she brought were also striving to kill the enemy. Loyalty is still reliable.
Finally, I stopped keeping it in hiding, and slowly said to him: "On the night when you led your army into the city, I sent troops to attack the rear of the enemy outside the city at night. The main purpose was to burn the granary and blow up the enemy's Guanyue.
cha.”.
It was said that it was clear, but he didn't say much, he just simply pointed it out.
But the goddess of Guzhao is not a fool. After hearing what he said, after a moment of thinking, she figured out the mystery. She suddenly realized that she pointed her head and sighed: "You occupied them with too long supply line, so you destroyed them."
Most military rations are not enough to provide them with supplies, so there will be more monks and less porridge among the army fighting on the front line."
"Yes, no matter how many monks are there, or how many porridge is there, they will suffer civil strife for a bite." Xiao Shizhu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
"It's indeed a good plan, but if they don't have civil strife, or if they bypass Manjiang City and plunder the rear, will this plan be lost?" After thinking about it again, the goddess of the Guzhao turned her head and looked at Xiao again.
Shizhao asked in a blink of an eye.
When she finished speaking, she smiled sweetly; she had never seen Xiao Shizhu in the past few days and was very surprised or disappointed. She said that she said it, but instead she was a little anxious to see Xiao Shizhu's surprise, or because
I didn’t think of this layer in vain, but what kind of expression would I look when I suddenly discovered this problem?
However, she didn't know Xiao Shizhu, so how could she know that Xiao Shizhu looked like she was always laughing at every step, but when she did a serious business, she was still rough and detailed, and she still had everything she thought about.
Xiao Shizhu had already thought of this problem, so he only arranged half of the soldiers to assist the local garrison guards in the area of Junzi Port.
Most of the remaining half of the day were arranged by him in the cities south of Manjiang City. At the same time, he sent out powerful ghost officials to mobilize the masses, so that all the soldiers and civilians would mobilize the cities outside Manjiang City.
They got up and actively prepared for war and famine. The people all distributed cold weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, and hunters were also organized. They followed the army to form lines of defense in various parts of the south based on favorable terrain.
Besides, the target of the Fengdu Army will only be Xiao Shizhu. The hatred makes the Fengdu Army only have a large army to surround the city of Wanjiang. Even if they go to plunder outside the south of the city, they will not send too many soldiers. The military strength in the rear is enough to deal with the enemy's sneak attacks.
.
"So I'm here!" Xiao Shizhu smiled again, and suddenly turned around and met the goddess of Gushe. When the other party quickly looked away and looked in a panic, he said proudly: "
You just go and catch an enemy prisoner and ask if you don’t catch me or beat me to death, will they and their commander be willing to go to the cloudy sky?"
"You are so bold." He praised Xiao Shizhu, but he also realized that Xiao Shizhu's gaze was still circling on his face, but he still didn't dare to turn his head.
At this moment, Zuo Fan, Zhu Hai and other generals came over. Xiao Shizhu hurriedly put away his pride and smile, stood up and asked the generals standing in front of him, "What's wrong?"
"It's not what you said by lord, you have to hold a combat meeting every evening to summarize your day's combat experience?" Zuo Fan, Zhu Hai, Ji Shang and others were stunned in front of him, looking at each other in a daze.
He looked at Xiao Shizhu, frowned, and asked suspiciously.
After Xiao Shizhu reminded her, she suddenly remembered that there was such a decision. She quickly turned around with a smirk and said, "Yes, yes, go to the palace for a meeting." Then, she strode behind the palace gate.
.....
To the south of Mingfeng Valley, a 100,000 army led by Rushou and King Yan Luo was handed over to camp on both sides of Mingfeng Valley.
Since Shebi's corpse was killed by Xiao Shizhu, Shebi's hope to become the new corpse soul queen, and the Fengdu army has returned. However, this time, because the Bibi's corpse country has sincerely surrendered to the Northern Yin Dynasty, and both sides have ended.
Hostile relations, Rushou and King Yan made a comeback this time, and it is no longer a fight with the Soul Army.
The sound wind valley is full of the valley wind passing by and comfort. Under the shade of the sun on the hillside, the Fengdu Army camps are continuous along the mountains. There are flags among the tents, and the valley wind is filled with some flips, making waves of rushing sounds.
The soldiers in the camp were all feeling comfortable on their faces, either basking in the sun on the hillside or huddling in the tent to sleep soundly.
Even the sentry on the post was a casual one. They either sat on the arrow tower to enjoy the cool air. They threw the weapons they should have in their hands on the ground, and replaced the ones they held in their hands with a fan, or
flagon.
Either fanning the air or drinking a lot of wine.
The reason why the Fengdu army here is scattered is that their duty is to transport grain this time. As a grain and grass army, when it is not transported, the Fengdu army here is too idle.
Once they were free, they had to find something to do. The King of Yama who could command them was "ruled by doing nothing". They didn't say it, nor did they force them to strengthen their training. Over time, the Fengdu army under his command became lazy and lazy
.
"King of Yan Luo, go and see outside the tent." At this moment, Rushou was standing in the tent of the central army, staring at Yan Luo who was sitting behind the commander's case and playing with the token of the token of the army in his hand.
Wang, in a deep voice, said with a deep regret: "What are the ghost soldiers under our command now?"
"General Rushou, we are ghosts, shouldn't we just look like ghosts?" After listening to him patiently, King Yama raised his eyes and glanced at Rushou and said distractedly: "The soldiers are fighting, this time,
I can’t go to the battlefield anymore, so it’s normal to get upset.”
"But if they continue like this, how can they transport food?" Seeing that he was not anxious or anxious, Rushou became even more anxious and stomped his feet and said, "Now, most of them are in the day, twelve days.
I was drunk for ten hours. What if I encountered an enemy army while transporting food?"
There was a hint of impatient look on King Yama's face. After flashing with the moment of sucking mouth, he finally put down the token in his hand, stared at Rushou, and slowly said: "There are millions of troops ahead, don't
It is said that an enemy army cannot let go, even a rabbit cannot let go."
As soon as he said this, Rushou became even more anxious, and his head was full of sweat and overflowed one after another. But he was also a general, and only knew that the kind of general who fought was always stupid. He was so anxious that he was speechless that he only knew how to open his lips.
But I don't know what to say.
After a while, Rushou became even more anxious. After talking for a while, Rushou, whose cheeks were flushed, then he squeezed out a singular sentence from his mouth: "Anyway, the food and grass will be transported the day after tomorrow, so you can do it."
Then he turned around suddenly and left angrily.
When he left, King Yama was left alone in the central army tent, he immediately put away the cynical and uneasy face, frowned and showed a solemn expression, staring at the Shuai Case while pondering.
The token of the troops on the army began to ponder.
He knew that this batch of food and grass was the life-saving straw for the Beiyin Dynasty United Army fighting in front, and he also knew that as long as this batch of food and grass arrived, Xiao Shizhu would be under greater pressure.
These days, he has been thinking about when he would send out the information about the food and grass so that he could deliver the information to Xiao Shizhu safely.
Because Rushou was pasted with talismans in the camp's tent, the fungus sent by Xiao Shizhu could not be done at all, so he used the ground-breaking technique to enter the camp. Therefore, King Yama kept holding this information in his hand but gave it to him.
Don't go out.
For this reason, King Yama was also very distressed in private. (To be continued)
