Chapter 297: Attack
The army of the Barbarian Witch Continent in Xizhou has finally begun to act.
Guan He's army and Jiang Hanming's Zhenxi army gradually began to carry out counterinsurgency activities in the southern part of Xizhou.
When Chu Ke heard the news, he didn't show much attention.
His eyes are now on the development of Baixuan City.
The strength of the Guanhe army is not very good, and there are three battalions of Heaven and Earth Huang in the north.
The task of the Xuanzi Camp only needs to be developed with peace of mind.
However, in the changing situation in the south, Chu Ke was like a businessman, keenly smelling the "business opportunities" in it.
The original southern pattern was that the forces of all sides supported their own troops, and each of them was divided into one place to dominate and dominate.
But when the Zhenxi Army led by Jiang Hanming entered the southern world, the original pattern was broken.
Except for those forces that were affected by the Zhenxi Army, disbanded, conquered, and surrendered.
The rest of the people have now formed a group, ready to fight Jiang Hanming together.
If you don't hold a group, you can't do it, the 50,000 Zhenxi Army, that is a regular and experienced elite army.
Everyone can resist him in a group, and if they fight separately, the consequence will be that they will be broken by each other, and in the end there will be no place for them in the southern world.
No one wants to spit out the meat they eat in their mouths, especially those of them who want to be heroes in troubled times.
It was this mentality that made Chu Ke feel that he had an opportunity.
If you can incite these people, gather these forces in your fist.
Well, at least in the future, in the western world, there will be no one to fight the expeditionary force.
Chu Ke predicted that when they could control the entire Xizhou, the expeditionary force would also have the ability to crusade against the Demon Venerable Palace and destroy the Ritual Wheel of the Two Realms.
Integrating these feudal forces, Chu Ke also had another purpose, which was to inquire about the whereabouts of the Two Realms Ritual Wheel.
Since coming to the Barbarian Witch Continent, the spies sent out by the expeditionary force have not found any news about the Two Realms Ritual Wheel.
Therefore, Wu Yangshu and others speculated that the situation of the Two Realms Ritual Wheel in the Barbarian Witch Continent may be similar to that of the Zunlong Pagoda in the Barren Ancient Continent.
The world only knows that there is a heavenly dragon gate, but few people know that there is a dragon tower.
Even if you know the Zunlong Tower, you don't know that Wuyang Shu is a Nirvana master.
On this side of the Barbarian Witch Continent, the world should only know that there is a Demon Venerable Palace at most, and there is a Demon Venerable Palace Master.
Only those who have a certain status or masters are likely to know more secrets.
Before you know it, night has fallen.
After coming to the Guanhe Army in the Fallen Leaf Mountains, there was no other action.
And the three battalions of Heaven and Earth Huang, which were originally preparing to lead the battle, also entered the stage of preparing for war.
Next, Chu Ke knew that this was a scout battle between the two sides.
See who can get more information.
However, Chu Ke will not worry about the victory or loss of the scout battle of the expeditionary force, compared to the scout battle?
The immortal cultivators of the expeditionary force who entered the Holy Realm were able to lose, so it was strange.
In the residence of Chu Ke in Baixuan City, Chu Ke was under the light of candles, looking at the map of the southern part of the Western Zhou Dynasty spread on the table.
His gaze swept back and forth among the cities, rivers, and woods on the map.
From time to time, he would also pick up a pen and make annotations in certain places.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in. Chu Ke said.
The door creaked open, and the person who came was Hong Wu.
"Brother Hong, are you here? Come, come and see. Chu Ke took out a stool and moved it to his side.
Hong Wu sat down next to Chu Ke, and the two of them looked at the map together.
Whether it is in Bai Xuancheng or the Xuanzi Battalion, there are only people who can have military talents and abilities, and Chu Ke has counted them only this Hongwu.
Xiao Yi's people only know how to fight, to be precise, they can tactics, but they don't know strategy.
"Does the general want to co-opt these people?" Hong Wu naturally understood the intention after looking at the points marked by Chu Ke on the map.
He has also led troops to fight in the past, and he can be regarded as a civilian and military attachΓ©. This set is not unfamiliar to the military.
"Yes, I do have that in mind. Hong Wu, come and see, who do you think is the most suitable for me to take down these people?" Chu Ke asked.
Hong Wu nodded, closed his eyes and muttered for a moment before saying, "General, I think that if you want to do it, you have to move bigger." β
"What do you mean?" asked Chu Ke.
"Petty theft, too small. Conquer from the bottom little by little, and I don't know how much I have to fight in this battle alone. Hong Wu said.
"It's better to take down the biggest one, or the larger one, directly with lightning speed. In this way, it is convenient to deal with it after it is divided and dissolved. β
Hong Wu's meaning is very clear, it's like peeling an egg.
Do you break the eggs before you peel them, or do you sharpen them little by little with a file?
"That's the truth, but how do I take down these people?" Chu Ke said, his gaze drifting to a solid red dot on the map closest to Bai Xuanzhai.
For small forces, Chu Ke will draw a red circle, and for medium forces, Chu Ke will draw a cross.
If it was a big force, Chu Ke would spend a solid red dot.
But the largest forces in the southern world, Chu Ke marked them with red dots, and then drew a circle outside the red dots.
"Send troops directly. Hong Wu said, "The forces in these places are not very good. With only the strength of Bai Xuancheng and a small part of the strength of the Xuanzi Battalion, all the forces in the vicinity of this place could be uprooted. β
Hong Wu slapped the red dot that Chu Ke was looking at with one hand.
"The leader of this force is named Jin Kun, and he used to be a tooth general. Because he knows the army's style of action and means of warfare, he will become the strongest force within this radius. Hong Wu said after a pause.
"But compared to us, to describe him as a small witch is to elevate him. General, we will first occupy all the places near him, and then gather troops to attack, this Jin Kun will inevitably surrender to us. β
Chu Ke listened to Hong Wu's words, and nodded from time to time.
What Hong Wu said made sense, the tone was peeling off the cocoon, step by step, it was better to quickly cut through the mess and directly expand the territory.
In the early stage, the soldiers and horses of Baixuancheng were used as a cover to hide the combat power of part of the Xuanzi battalion.
Not only will the Xuanzi Camp not be exposed, but it can also directly take such a large piece of territory.
When the time comes, both the expansion of the establishment and the logistical supply can be greatly enhanced in the future, and its strategic significance cannot be underestimated.
"Okay, just do as you say. Chu Ke stood up, and the immortal knowledge transmitted the message to the major captains and generals, "Obey the military order, immediately organize the army, and send troops to attack at night tonight!"
Chu Ke's first target was the few on the map, the red circle closest to him.
"Hold it for me!
Jin Kun, who had a beard, stood on the city wall with a knife.
At this time, the city wall was already dilapidated, and there were many corpses lying crookedly near and far.
The soldiers who could still stand on the city walls all had numb faces.
They are no longer afraid of death, they have overcome the initial fear of death, and all they have left now is instinct.
The body is tired, the soul is numb.
They are now only mechanically, countering wave after wave of enemy attacks.
As for whether they could hold on, they didn't have the heart to think that far ahead.
"Damn, when did Bai Xuanzhai have such an army. Jin Kun looked at the army that was besieging the city, and said resentfully in his heart.
He knows about Bai Xuanzhai, and it is also a relatively famous force in this neighborhood.
He had also seen Hong Wu, and when he was defending the city just now, he saw Hong Wu watching him from a distance.
But although Bai Xuanzhai is not famous, he still knows how many catties and taels he Jinkun has.
For a city garrisoned by an army under his command, Baixuanzhai had no power to attack at all.
But what is happening now is completely unexpected by him.
Originally, he was still sleeping in his own house, and he also knew the news of the Zhenxi Army's southern expedition, but he didn't take it to heart.
It's a big deal to surrender when the time comes, saying that he raised troops and pulled the banner in order to protect this side of the water and soil from being seized by the rebels.
In that case, he will not even surrender, but will still be the hero of the barbarian witch army.
But in the middle of the night, he was woken up and said that someone was attacking the city.
Jin Kun thought that Jiang Hanming was attacking the city, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly put on his armor and went to the city.
It turned out that it was not Jiang Hanming's Zhenxi Army that attacked the city, but Hongwu's Baixuanzhai.
Originally, I thought that Hong Wu was attacking the city of Jin Kun and thought that it was a mantis arm as a car and a mayfly shaking a tree, how could a mere bandit capture his own city?
Even if Hong Wu's cultivation is good, it is only between five or five years with himself.
But as soon as the rhythm of the siege began, Jin Kun found that things were very different from what he thought.
Bai Xuanzhai not only did not be as vulnerable as he thought, but attacked the city again and again, bringing huge casualties to himself.
Four thousand troops, almost a thousand dead.
You know, these 4,000 troops are all regular troops.
And he is not the city guard of those wine bags and rice bags, and the four thousand people under his command are much stronger in combat than those guys who are messing around.
But in front of the people of Baixuanzhai, his army seems to be the one who is vulnerable.
Three waves of siege in succession, there were not many deaths in Baixuanzhai, and the casualties were limited.
Most of the people who fell on the city were their own soldiers, so Jin Kun's heart was dripping blood.
Just as he was thinking, suddenly a bullhorn sounded in the distance.
Jin Kun knew that the enemy was about to launch a fourth wave of siege.
Looking back at the army on the head of his city, they are all colored, and there is no god in their eyes, where is there still a fighting force.
On the other hand, the people and horses of Baixuanzhai who rushed over from outside the city were all strong and strong, and their desire to fight and combat effectiveness were all rising.
can't hold it, Jin Kun has only one thought in his heart.
The centaurs of Baixuanzhai seemed to be like a new batch, they were extremely fierce when they fought, and they didn't even make a sound when they weren't fighting.
Where is this bandit, it is clearly an army, and it is a well-disciplined army, an army with explosive combat effectiveness.
Such an army has only been seen once in Jin Kun's military career, and that is the Demon Zun Army belonging to the Demon Venerable Palace.
As for the Zhenxi Army in Xizhou, the Pingdong Army in Dongzhou, etc., they are all a grade lower than the Demon Venerable Army.
"Surrenderer!
Hong Wu shouted under the city, and the men and horses who attacked the city also shouted the same words.
"It's over, it's over. Jin Kun closed his eyes, his hands trembled, and said, "Everything is over, everything is over." β
The soldiers and horses of Baixuancheng launched four waves of siege in the middle of the night.
When the fish was white in the East, Jin Kun surrendered the city.
Chu Ke had already entered Jinkun's Kang'an City in the early morning and sat down to work.
The so-called office, just look at the official letters in Kang'an City, the details of the materials and so on.
After taking Kang'an City, Chu Ke was in a good mood.
This time, he only brought 1,500 soldiers and horses from Baixuancheng, plus 500 soldiers from the Xuanzi battalion.
After paying the price of more than a hundred people killed, the city of Kang'an was laid.
These more than 100 people are naturally the bandits in the original Baixuan Village.
For these dead personnel, Chu Ke will find their families, send their bodies back, and attach a generous pension.
Money, where will Chu Ke be lacking?
Jin Kun was standing on the side at a loss at this time, and Hong Wu was standing opposite him.
Jin Kun originally thought that the team this time was led by Hong Wu, but he didn't expect it to be a young man sitting on the city lord's chair now.
In this way, Jin Kun felt even more uneasy.
Hong Wu still knows each other and has a little friendship, at least Hong Wu will not kill himself in this friendship.
But this young man has no idea what his temper is, and people are always afraid of the unknown.
For a long time, the fog on the street outside dissipated, and Chu Ke finished reading the official letter he wanted to read.
Chu Ke stretched, and Yu Guang saw Jin Kun standing.
"Hmm, Brother Hong, General Jin, have you two been standing here all morning?" Chu Ke asked, "Then you're not tired, let's have breakfast together in a while." β
Immortal cultivators in the transcendent realm, where can they get tired after standing in the morning.
When Chu Ke said this, he just wanted to start a conversation.
"General Jin Kun, I've seen the general. Jin Kun knelt on his knees and made a big salute.
"General Kim, please get up, everyone is their own people, you don't need to see the outside like this. Chu Ke said with a casual wave of his hand.
As soon as Kang'an City was broken, Jin Kun lowered Chu Ke, but he didn't know what Chu Ke would do with him next.
In the era of war and chaos, it is inevitable to clean the original team in the captured city and replace it with its own people.
It's just that this purge, whether it is a dismissal or a removal of the grass and roots, is unknown.
So Jin Kun is still in a state of panic.
"General Kim doesn't have to be too nervous. Chu Ke said with a smile, "Now is the time when all kinds of waste are flourishing, and when employing people, General Jin is a rare talent, so don't worry about your future." β
Hearing this, Jin Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
If he guessed correctly, Chu Ke should have transferred himself to another place and took on a position there.
Kang'an City can't stay anymore, and his family won't follow him to other places, which is a means of restraint from superiors to newly descended subordinates.
