This made Tao Xiaowu secretly frightened, thinking, I originally thought that those wild ghosts were scattered into small groups, and I could deal with them by myself.
It's just a matter of putting in a little more effort and defeating them one by one.
But now it seems that these criminal ghosts are not stupid. With so many wild ghosts gathered, it is not something that I can deal with.
Fortunately, he has five hundred spiritual soldiers at his disposal!
Thinking in his mind, he asked: "From what you see, what should we do now?"
After all, although it was Tao Xiaowu who commanded these troops.
However, after all, he has never led troops in a battle, and he has no confidence in the strength of both sides. At this moment, he can only ask first.
The commander of Longting Village thought that at least he would be treated as before, and that the lightest sentence would be a reprimand, but he did not expect that Tao Xiaowu would ask questions humbly.
He said: "Don't worry about offering wine, it's just a bunch of wild ghosts. As long as it doesn't exceed ten thousand and can't generate ghost generals, there's nothing to fear!"
Although there are many ghosts at the moment, if we rush over and the private soldiers in the spiritual house rush out again, and cooperate inside and outside, we can defeat these ghosts.
Even if the spirit house is timid and has no troops, although we cannot annihilate it, we can at least defeat this group of ghosts!"
The village chief who was scolded by Tao Xiaowu just now said loudly.
The other four village chiefs who were former ghost soldiers of the ancient Xi Kingdom also nodded, obviously having the same view.
Tao Xiaowu's eyes flashed with surprise. It seemed that the power of these spiritual soldiers should not be underestimated.
Thinking this way, he already said loudly: "So, what are you waiting for? Kill!"
Just take the lead and rush forward.
Before the people arrived, a ball of flames transformed by the energy of the sun burned over.
boom!
Dozens of wild ghosts were caught off guard and were immediately ignited by the fire of the sun, screaming and wailing, and turned into human candles.
The wild ghosts suddenly became confused, and some began to run away.
"It turned out to be a bunch of rabble. No wonder these spiritual soldiers don't take them seriously!"
When Tao Xiaowu saw the behavior of the wild ghosts, he immediately felt relieved.
The spiritual soldiers behind have also rushed over: "Kill!"
White flames rose up from each one of them...
It's just that this flame is different, but it belongs to the blessing of the Hou Mansion's luck.
At this moment, the flames of luck were stirring, and they actually connected into one piece.
No, it's two pieces.
Because one of them is a spiritual soldier from the Dragon Court, and the other is a ghost soldier from the ancient Xi Kingdom.
"kill!"
These flames are connected together. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but their power seems to be connected as one, rushing towards them like an iron wall.
And those wild ghosts shattered like eggs hitting a wall.
The ghost group was already in chaos originally, but now that the five hundred spirit soldiers were organized into an attack, they were completely defeated and fled in all directions.
"When I think about it, many rebellions were suppressed like this..."
Tao Xiaowu suddenly had an enlightenment.
Originally, the world looked at the history books and found that the imperial courts of all dynasties often suppressed rebellions, especially the rebellions of the peasants at the bottom, and they were easily suppressed.
Even in the late Ming Dynasty, the bandits, including Li Zicheng, were defeated by officers and soldiers countless times.
Think about the situation in front of you!
In fact, Li Zicheng's ability to capture the capital was not really a military victory.
From the beginning to the end, I was suppressed and beaten by the imperial officers and soldiers. I was able to escape from desperate situations several times. I struggled for more than ten years before I could barely gain a foothold.
In fact, if it weren't for the small glacier environment in the late Ming Dynasty, there were too many disaster-stricken areas, and many victims became supplementary bandits, I am afraid it would have been suppressed long ago.
When Li Zicheng entered the capital, he entered the capital directly without fighting any tough battles along the way.
This is also the reason why later, after losing the Battle of Yishishi, Li Zicheng retreated all the way until he was defeated.
Although they have a rogue style, they have no solid base.
But the real combat effectiveness of its army is estimated to be very average!
With this understanding, Tao Xiaowu shouted and chased him.
The power of the sun is a powerful weapon against these ghosts. Wherever it passes, dozens of wild ghosts are killed in a sea of fire.
In cold weapon battles, the damage from head-on combat is actually not too much.
The real killings and injuries are actually the gains made by chasing and killing one party when they were defeated and fled.
This is also the reason why he fought against the Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty and captured dozens of heads, which was a great victory.
That is, we can only repel the enemy, but cannot completely defeat them. This means that we cannot pursue and kill them, and it is difficult to make big gains.
Seeing the spirit soldiers coming, the ghost group collapsed. The private soldiers in the spirit house also opened the door and rushed out without hesitation.
With the internal and external coordination, the ghost group became even more chaotic.
"kill!"
Seeing that the guilty ghosts among the ghosts were also escaping at this moment, Tao Xiaowu abandoned the other ghosts without hesitation and went directly to kill the guilty ghosts.
The reason why the rogue bandits in the late Ming Dynasty were able to be defeated so many times and make a comeback was not only that they had enough victims to supplement them, but more importantly, the core old battalion's soldiers and horses did not suffer much loss.
These veteran soldiers are all elite and hardcore. They are not many in number. They all have horses and are very capable in escaping.
Once defeated, flee for your life immediately. As long as these old soldiers remain alive, they can re-engage the victims and grow rapidly.
And these criminal ghosts obviously play this role, so naturally they cannot be let go. Otherwise, what is the use of killing more sinful ghosts?
After the flames burned away, although those sinful ghosts were much more powerful than ordinary wild ghosts, under Tao Xiaowu's hands, there was not much difference. The fire of the sun burned over and was also ignited.
At most, these evil ghosts have strong Yin Qi and can burn for a while longer!
Seeing more than a dozen sinners being burned to death, Tao Xiaowu was about to chase down the other sinners when suddenly a black sword shadow struck at Tao Xiaowu.
This was a long sword made of black Yin Qi. Wherever it passed, even the burning fire of the sun was cut open, and it struck in front of Tao Xiaowu.
Tao Xiaowu was startled and took a step back. He saw a sinner about the same height stepping out, his body filled with black energy, like a black flame burning.
"What a powerful sinner!" Tao Xiaowu thought to himself: "This is almost as powerful as his own soul!
I don’t know how many living people this sinner has eaten!”
Although those sinners were originally fierce, they were not that powerful.
Apparently he had recently eaten blood and eaten a lot of living people, which made him become so powerful.
As I was thinking about it, I heard a cry from behind: "Be careful with the wine sacrifice, this sinner has already reached the level of evil ghost, equivalent to the village chief..."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Xiaowu had already sneered: "It's just an evil ghost!"
The fate of the Hou Mansion has turned into flames and struck the sinner.
The sinner let out a mournful cry and disintegrated into sparks.
Although this sinful ghost is powerful, it is almost the same as Tao Xiaowu's spirit.
But the reason why people are strong is because they can use tools.
Don't forget, Tao Xiaowu still has the powerful luck of the Hou family.
