Exorcism

Pan Jufu did not immediately take over the appointment letter from His Highness the Prince, but very sincerely defined his abilities: "I am just a veteran who has fought in several battles. Planning strategies? I know nothing about it; official contacts? I have not done so for so many years. You will know how bad I am when it comes to winning His Highness's favor; I know a little about arranging troops, but I learned it from watching other people's orders when I was young; I have never practiced it; I am old and can do it with heavier armor. It overwhelmed me. Without the help of Fulu and Taoist priests along the way, I would never have been able to reach Duanliu City.

Xin Youtao was very embarrassed. He really didn't have much confidence in this veteran. This appointment letter was not so much for Pan Jufu but for Mu Xingqiu, so he asked with a smile: "Then what are you best at?"

"I know the demon clan, especially their soldiers." Pan Jufu has washed up and put on the best lightweight leather armor in Duanliu City, but he still doesn't look like a general in appearance. He is made of Mao Qilin's skin. The leather armor is more like stolen loot. "I have been fighting with them for most of my life. I have participated in two battles between Taoism and the demon army. I have encountered the demon army hundreds of times on the border. I joined them with me back then." I am the only member of the Xuanfu Army who has survived to this day.”

"That might be because you were good at escaping." Xin Youtao couldn't hold back his unhappiness. He hoped that the incoming general would be more confident and knowledgeable.

"Well, isn't this what His Highness and the soldiers and civilians of Duanliu City want to learn most?"

Xin Youtao was slightly stunned, handed the appointment letter into Pan Jufu's hand, and laughed: "No, I don't want to run away, I want to defeat the demon soldiers."

The two of them walked out of the main hall of the military camp hand in hand and officially announced that the new general had taken office and was in charge of all military power.

No one had seen the abilities of this old general, and the soldiers were lukewarm about the appointment. Many people still looked at Mu Xingqiu, who they considered to be a brave and skilled general.

Pan Jufu is not polite either. He immediately ordered the soldiers to line up and perform a few simple stabbing movements as he requested. Then he began to assign tasks. Some people rode out of the city to serve as scouts, some guarded the city walls and gates, and some patrolled the streets in the city and collected intelligence. The rest People stay in the military camp for training, everyone has to show their abilities, and the old generals have to re-appoint officers.

Pan Jufu arranged every task in great detail, such as how to patrol after leaving the city. He explained clearly every step of how to deal with the demon soldiers after discovering them. If the soldiers raised any questions, he opened his mouth to answer them without any hesitation.

The defenders of Duanliu City were originally very reluctant to patrol far away. After listening to the old general's words, they found that the matter was not too terrible. They did not need to fight the monster soldiers to find out the approximate number. Just return to the city as soon as possible, so I finally decided to ride out of the city.

It was not until dusk that Pan Jufu arranged all the tasks for the first day, his mouth was dry but he did not show any fatigue. No matter how trivial the problem is,

He can give answers that satisfy the other party. This is all the experience he accumulated through many years of fighting, and he has never forgotten it in his heart.

Not just more than 300 soldiers, but also Xin Youtao himself. Everyone looked up to the old general with admiration, and no one doubted his ability anymore. General Mu can inspire fighting spirit, but General Pan brings confidence and stability. Every soldier knew what he was going to do this time.

Xin Youtao had been watching from a distance. He turned to Mu Xingqiu and said in a low voice: "It turns out that I am really blind. I haven't discovered that Mr. Pan is a strange person for so many years. Alas, I am not as good as you. I can improve even if I study cardiology." Human eyesight?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled. He was happier than anyone else to get help from Mr. Pan. He was finally able to get rid of what he was not good at and concentrate on fighting the monsters. "We are not as sharp as your sister, she is The person who truly discovered Mr. Pan’s abilities.”

Xin Youtao was slightly confused, "Sister thinks so highly of Mr. Pan, why did he arrange for him to be in the Immortal Collection...I understand." Xin Youtao suddenly realized, shaking his head in shame, "Sister is afraid of arousing the queen's suspicion, and she wants me to talk to Pan San. Master, learn more skills.”

Pan Jufu came over, took the big bowl from a soldier, drank all the water in it, and didn't care about the water dripping down his beard. He returned the bowl, wiped his mouth, and sighed happily, " There are two most important tasks that require the help of His Highness the Prince and the Catechumens."

"Old General, please tell me, you are in charge of the military power of Duanliu City, and we all obey your command." Xin Youtao was respectful, completely different from his previous casual attitude.

Pan Jufu accepted it calmly, "First, there are not enough soldiers, and the three hundred Xuanfu Army has no chance of winning against a thousand demon soldiers; secondly, the Fulu Master and Taoist priests cannot fight alone and must cooperate with the Xuanfu Army.

Xin Youtao immediately said: "Leave the recruitment matter to me. There are many soldiers who have fled from various cities in the city. I will increase the reward..."

"This is not possible." Pan Jufu shook his head and objected, "Relying on offering rewards to recruit troops, has the Xuanfu Army become a mercenary army?"

"What should I do according to the old general's opinion?" Xin Youtao's tone became more humble, and he no longer had any doubts about Mr. Pan.

"This is a war that affects the life and death of Duanliu City and Xijie Country. Every soldier of the Xuanfu Army is obliged to participate in the war. As a prince, you should capture them all and tell them to prepare to sacrifice their lives for the country."

"Ah?" As the prince of the West Jie Kingdom, Xin Youtao could participate in palace struggles without any scruples and fight openly and covertly with people of similar status, but he was not used to forcing low-level people to obey orders. In his mind, that should be a natural thing. , "If they..."

"I didn't say 'invite' them to join the war. You have to give orders in the name of the prince. Those who disobey will be arrested. Some of them may have changed into common people's clothes. Don't worry about those, as long as they look like they have been soldiers. , and asked them to join the war.”

Xin Youtao seemed a little embarrassed. He was not a tough character to begin with. He had been a Taoist priest for a long time, and he was not used to this kind of behavior.

Pan Jufu's eyes widened, and he said sternly as if facing ordinary soldiers: "Take fifty soldiers and go out to find people now. If we can't recruit two hundred people before dawn, we don't need to fight this battle. Let's just disperse." never mind."

"I'll go!" Xin Youtao ran away in a hurry.

Looking at the prince's back, Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but smile as he recalled the scene where he forcibly removed the Fire God Seal from Xin Youtao.

"There is no way to retreat." Mu Xingqiu told the truth.

"Well, I think so. The war situation is like this. The Xuanfu Army alone will definitely not be able to defeat the demon soldiers. If a few balls of demon fire come down, the whole army will collapse; Pangshan Taoist Priest alone will also be unable to defeat you. When you are busy dueling with the big demon, groups of demon soldiers will rush into the city under the protection of the magic and kill everyone cleanly. "

"Taoist Priest Pangshan is willing to cooperate with the Xuanfu Army."

"There are ways to cooperate. Normally, the Xuanfu Army is only responsible for containment, and the main force of the demon soldiers is left to the Taoist priests. Today's situation is different. I didn't see any high-level Taoist priests."

"There is one, but he won't be able to participate in the war for a while."

Pan Jufu nodded, "Then it's the other way around. The Xuanfu Army will attack mainly, and the Taoist priests will provide protection. We can die in the hands of the demon soldiers, but we cannot be killed by the magic."

"Okay." Mu Xingqiu called all the Taoist priests to discuss tactics together.

Daliang, Shen Xiuming and others did not have inner elixirs. He can't fly either. The eleven Taoist priests and the only Talisman Master Liu Ding can provide protection to the Xuanfu Army. Zuo Liuying is still building the tower, and Lan Qizhang, Zeng Fu, Fangfang and Tuzi cannot participate in the battle.

Among the eleven Taoist priests, Xin Youtao is the prince. He had to stay in the rear and sit in formation. At this time, more soldiers were being recruited in the city. Mu Xingqiu had general five-element magic and was deeply respected by the soldiers. To stay on the ground and lead the charge, there are nine Taoist priests left, and only Xiao Qingtao is a Taoist priest of the Five Elements. She was most familiar with demon-killing tactics. She blushed and stammered about arranging locations and tasks. It took a while before things became smooth.

One of the responsibilities of the Fu Lu Master is to provide all kinds of protection to the Xuan Fu Army on the battlefield. He had a good chat with Pan Jufu, and soon formulated a plan to fill the possible loopholes of the Pangshan Taoist priests.

Pan Jufu was not idle after nightfall. The soldiers patrolling the streets in the city brought back a group of refugees and deserters. He questioned them one by one, not sparing anyone, nor believing in any rumors. He went straight to the topic, made insinuations, confirmed each other, and other questioning techniques. There are endless rumors, and it is necessary to find out the truth about the rumors.

The Taoist priests listened on the side, and the more they listened, the more they admired the old general.

"Taoist priests will use mind control techniques to dig out all your memories and thoughts, but the effect may not be better than this." Yang Qingyin was particularly impressed, "Once the mind control techniques are not easy to use, everyone will be dumbfounded."

Mu Xingqiu listened the most carefully, and he vaguely realized that Pan Jufu's method coincided with the mental illusion technique.

After the inquiry, Pan Jufu had a more accurate judgment on the incoming demon soldiers, "There are less than a thousand demon soldiers, about seven or eight hundred. Correspondingly, there are seven or eight demon leaders, of which two are the most worthy of attention, and one is the ground commander. Officer, we don’t know much about him, but he rides a mountain-shaking bull. If it goes crazy, the city wall can’t stop it. There is also a flying demon leader, if the scared guy is not mistaken. If so, it should be Yin Yu.”

"Ah." Xiao Qingtao yelled and hurriedly covered her mouth. Finding that everyone was looking at her, she moved her palms away and said softly: "Yinyu is a very, very rare half-demon. They are all...beautiful. man."

Everyone laughed, but Pan Jufu disagreed, "I'm not worried about how beautiful Yin Yu is, I'm afraid you can't beat him."

"Leave it to me." Yang Qingyin asked immediately, "I don't care if he is beautiful or ugly, he will look the same when burned."

"For the time being, the information is still not comprehensive enough. Tomorrow I will go out of the city in person to inquire about the enemy's situation. This group of demon soldiers are not specifically here to attack Duliu City. They attack the city when they encounter it along the way. It will take about seven or eight days before they can get here. This It was the Demon Soldier’s mistake, but it was also Duanliu City’s opportunity.”

Pan Jufu looked at the young Taoist priests in front of him and suddenly thought of the martyrs who died at Laozu Peak. He looked up frequently on the way to escape and never saw Taoist priests flying away from Laozu Peak. "You know why the veterans are fighting each other?" Trust even with your life?"

"Because veterans live and fight together and have brotherly feelings." Shen Hao answered immediately.

Pan Jufu shook his head, "That's not the case at all. Our mutual trust has nothing to do with brotherhood." He said, hoping that his words would have some effect on these young Taoist priests, "Because we understand each other's strengths, we rely on each other and cooperate with each other. , in order to survive as much as possible. Holding the heart of death can make you braver, but you can only be an army if you always think about protecting the person around you. "
