Twilight Boundary
Chapter 561: The Art of Pointing
"Did the leader really say that?"
Also in Zhumen Town, the altar had already been set up. Three of the four hall officials were busy, and one was confused. At the same time, the bull horn was blown in the military camp outside.
Because they were not qualified to pay homage to the leader directly, they did not understand the leader's true meaning. However, after hearing what Miaoshan Fairy handed over, the military advisor Tiezui immediately had an idea and came to the front of the battle array with Yang Gong.
One by one, the troops were summoned and lined up in a row, which also seemed to be strong.
Looking at the opposite side, three miles away, the groups of hungry ghosts had already gathered in front of Mingzhou City. Now, in just one night, they saw that the other side had gathered three or four thousand people, and they looked very numerous, which made people tremble.
But compared with Yang Gong's side, it was still slightly inferior, as if a charge could disperse them.
"Which brother will charge for us?"
Yang Gong also knew that this group of hungry ghosts was not simple. He could not charge rashly, nor could he sit back and watch the other side gather more and more people. He pointed his whip and shouted to the leaders around him, and saw that many people were immediately excited.
"I will go..."
"Let me do it..."
At a time, many people took the initiative to fight and show their skills.
Many people saw that the troops gathered in front of Mingzhou City were not as good as the soldiers and horses of the Truth Church when they came out of the mountains before. There were only a few horses, and the weapons in their hands were in a mess. They were scattered and messy, as if they would collapse at the first charge, so they felt that their chance had come.
Some people simply rode out of the battle and shouted to Yang Gong: "I won't give in. Let's go and teach the other side a lesson first!"
As he said that, he slapped his horse, waved a big gun in his hand, and rushed towards the other side.
Someone recognized that this person was a capable manager under Sun Niangzi, the manager of the Hongmiling branch. Sun Niangzi was a master of the Soul Punishment Sect, but this manager was a master of the Year of the New Year Sect. He had already trained his limbs and was highly respected in the cabinet.
He used to use two short knives, but now that he was in the battle, he changed to a big gun, which was convenient for killing enemies. Now he rode his horse towards the group of hungry ghosts with great momentum.
The group of hungry ghosts ignored his provocation at first, and when he got closer, one of them from the outer circle of the crowd came out to greet him.
The hungry ghosts did not have any leader planning, but just a group of strong and fierce ones stayed outside, which could be understood as protecting the weak inside, or watching the food and grass to prevent them from running away.
This man was holding a black bone in his hand, fighting on foot and on horseback, and there was no rule, just smashing it down on the manager's head.
The steward sneered and stabbed with the spear in his hand. After a few rounds, he knocked the black bone in the man's hand away, then he smiled, leaned over to pick up the man, and put him horizontally on his horse, and was about to rush back to the formation.
When he caught the man, he had already used the soul-locking hand of the old man. His left palm turned into death. If he caught any part of the man, the Yin Qi would erode the man's body, and he could only be tied up.
Now that he had captured the enemy general and showed his face, he wanted to come back to ask for credit.
But suddenly, in the formation behind, Madam Sun saw something wrong and shouted, "Be careful."
The steward on the horse was slightly stunned. Suddenly, he lowered his head and saw that this hungry ghost, who should have been caught by him but couldn't, actually turned over and stood up, opened his big mouth, bit his neck, and blood spurted out.
He was shocked and panicked, not understanding why his unique skill didn't work. He screamed and fell off the horse while wrestling with the other party.
Seeing the critical situation, Sun Niang was shocked and angry. She immediately brought people around her to rush to save him. It can be seen that a group of soldiers came out from this side. The group of hungry ghosts who had been squatting on the ground and did not move suddenly rushed out with dozens of people.
Facing Sun Niang's soldiers, they all jumped and rushed over. The front man and his horse were directly thrown down, and the sound of flesh and blood was endless.
"Hurry up and save people!"
Seeing the situation reversed, dozens of people here were in danger, and someone in Yanggong's formation shouted.
Zhou Datong and Zhou Liang rode out at the same time, but they were smart and did not dare to rush into the formation directly. They just stopped the horse from a distance. One of them held a gold and silver doll under his arm and squeezed it hard. Suddenly, two streams of gold and silver gas sprayed over.
If it were earlier, they would have been successful.
But now that it sprayed on the other party, they saw that the other party was not moved at all, but just pounced and bit, and more and more people came out of the battle formation, not only trapped Sun Niangzi and her group in the battle formation, but even made a subtle move to rush towards their army formation.
The two didn't know what was going on, but they were horrified, but they didn't expect that the hungry ghost army was starving, who cared about gold and silver?
There was only food and flesh in their eyes, so they were not affected by the aura of gold and silver.
"Retreat!"
Fortunately, at this critical moment, someone suddenly rushed up between the two of them. It was the bald shopkeeper of Kouzi Mountain. He passed Zhou Datong and Zhou Liang, faced the group of evil ghosts, raised his hands, pressed them under his ribs, and suddenly shouted.
Like thunder and toads, the masculine energy suddenly burst out, suppressing the chaos around.
The group of guys who looked like humans but not ghosts were only slightly shocked now, and Sun Niangzi and others took the opportunity to roll back.
Looking back, he suddenly saw that his side had lost seven or eight lives and three or five horses, and the manager who had fought earlier had most of his body eaten away. Even if he had learned the skill of keeping watch on the New Year, he would not be able to survive now.
Not only was Sun Niangzi frightened and her face turned pale, but the people in Yang Gong's formation were speechless after seeing such a big loss in an instant.
He just tried to look forward, but he didn't know where the group of beggars came from, and they were so weird.
"Let's withdraw the troops for now."
When Yang Gong saw this scene, his face suddenly changed. He glanced at the military advisor Tie Zuizi beside him, and saw that he was also waving his hand slowly, and whispered: "Let's go to the tent to settle it first."
When everyone saw this, no one responded, but their faces looked a little ugly.
On the opposite side, the man who had just bitten Sun Niangzi's manager to death walked back to the crowd. Someone suddenly threw a pig's head to him. It looked raw and the hair had not been removed yet, but he held it in his arms and started to chew it.
The hungry ghosts around him were so greedy that they kept swallowing their saliva. When they looked at Yang Gong's grain-protecting army, many of them had greed in their eyes.
…
…
"Brothers, has anyone figured out the key point?"
And this military strategist, Tie Zuizi, came directly into Yang Gong's tent, surrounded by seven or eight strange people from the rivers and lakes.
He looked solemn, and saw that everyone present had a solemn expression. Someone thought for a moment before whispering, "I think each of these hungry ghosts carries countless innocent dead souls. Each of them is a born negative spirit."
"The advantage is that they have less vitality than living people, so we don't have to worry about their numbers and their power disrupting our magic."
"But the disadvantage is... if we don't count the strange skills of getting on the bridge, we will suffer a great loss if we only rely on the method of climbing the stairs to enter the mansion to face these hungry ghosts!"
"The negative spirits are no match for them in a head-on confrontation, and the Xinghun's skills are almost completely suppressed. Even the most courageous Shousui Ren in the formation is half suppressed, and can only shock him with his masculine energy..."
"..."
The people around him listened and nodded, and saw the difficulty of this group of hungry ghosts.
But when it comes to how to deal with the opponent, everyone talks about it. Some say that they should train a scout team, which can be recruited from various blood-eating mines to best defeat the hungry ghosts.
Some say that they should prepare food. These hungry ghosts never know how to be full. If they take enough food and mix it with Guanyin soil, they should be able to starve them to death...
But after talking about it, no one can do it in a hurry, which makes the military advisor above angry and scolds: "Everyone knows how to cheat every day, but now that it comes to the point, can't you come up with a good method?"
"The town is watching us. If we eat 30,000 hungry ghosts in one breath, it's not shameful if we don't have the ability. But if we can't win a beautiful battle when the opponent's troops are not yet assembled, where can we put our face?"
"..."
The people below were all ashamed and embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.
But at this moment, someone suddenly said: "How about I try?"
The people next to him turned around and frowned.
The non-eating cattle were scattered around the world, acting in secret. Some of them paid attention to their appearance and had a noble demeanor at all times, while others slept in the open air and did not care about their appearance, looking dirty. But the person who was talking now was the least decent one.
He was wearing tattered clothes, stained with grass ash and grass stems, and was even more beggarly than a beggar. Even the monkey on his body was covered with lice. When he had nothing to do, he would squat there and catch the lice on the other's body with his monkey to eat.
Fortunately, the leader of the Jinzihang didn't see him, otherwise this guy might be the first one among the non-eating cattle to be expelled because of his personal image.
But now, he was thinking about something, stepped forward, and said, "Who can borrow a chicken?"
Soon someone went to Zhumen Town and borrowed a majestic rooster from the seventh aunt. The beggar took it and pierced the chicken's neck with a silver needle. The rooster suddenly stood up and fled in panic, pecking at everyone he saw, and his eyes turned gray.
When the people nearby saw it, they were also frightened and everyone avoided it. They had already noticed that after the big rooster was injected, it looked somewhat similar to the group of hungry ghosts.
At this time, seeing that the big rooster had gone completely crazy, the beggar next to it suddenly stepped up and pressed it there. He did not tie it up with a straw rope, but just drew a vertical line in front of its beak with his finger.
After drawing, he slowly let go and stepped back two steps. Everyone stretched their heads curiously and came to see, and suddenly found that this rooster, which was originally extremely irritable and ferocious, fluttering around, just had a vertical line drawn in front of its mouth, and it actually squatted there and did not move.
In the silent weirdness, the beggar also sighed, clapped his hands and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, General Baoliang, your first victory against the hungry ghosts, let me give you..."
