The time goes back to the end of July, after the Rima Shrine issued a declaration of war on the twenty-nine villages. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kamijin Prefecture suffered heavy losses in this war, which was due to the betrayal of Bairiya Shrine. Revenge is necessary, but the forces that Kamijin Prefecture, which has been greatly damaged, can mobilize at this time are not enough to fight against the Satomi Shrine, which has suffered nothing in the war. Therefore, Wei Lin's idea of forming an alliance with the Twenty-Nine Village and declaring war on the Rimi Shrine was strongly opposed by the family elders.

Wei Lin didn't want to waste time arguing with the old antiques, so he called Wei Xu and asked him to lead troops to ambush around the venue in advance. When the family elders accused Wei Lin of being blinded by hatred, Wei Xu suddenly led his troops to kill and coerced them to pass Wei Lin's proposal.

After this, Wei Lin, accompanied by several retinues, quietly traveled to the northern part of Kamijin County. After the separate peace between the Republic of Bujin and Kamijin County, the northern part of Kamijin County was incorporated into the territory of the Bujin Republic.

Since neither the officials nor the troops to take over the new territory had yet arrived, General North's troops could not yet withdraw to their homeland. He sent 5,000 men to various towns to take over the defense, and then led the main force to settle in Shaobei Town, the largest town in the northern part of Shangjin County.

Although Shaobei Town is the largest town in the northern part of Shangjin County, its population is only 20,000, less than one-fifth of the county seat, and its prosperity is far less than that of Shangjin County. The entry of the main force of the Bujin Army has brought great pressure to Shaobei Town. Among them, the pressure on grain is the greatest, Shaobei Town is a town with handicraft industry as the main development direction, grain output is not high, and a large amount of grain has to be imported from other places every month.

Fortunately, General North promised the locals before the army moved in that his army would not take a grain of grain from Shaobei Town for nothing, and that all the military rations would be purchased from merchants at a fair price.

General North's promise led him to the support of the merchants of Shaobei Town. The town of Shaobei, which is mainly developed by handicrafts, is very dependent on merchants, and as long as they have the support of merchants, the Bujin people can easily control the town.

On August 3, Wei Lin and his retinue appeared outside the city walls of Shaobei Town. When General North learned of Welin's arrival, he immediately sent someone to invite him to the parlor for a warm reception. After a simple polite greeting, Wei Lin explained his intentions straight to the point.

"General, the contemptible people are here this time to discuss a business with you."

"Oh? Business? General North narrowed his eyes quietly, "I'm afraid that Lord Xiancheng has found the wrong person, I'm just a martial artist, and I don't understand things in the mall." ”

"Your Excellency, the General, is not right."

Wei Lin shook his head lightly and smiled slightly.

"The wisdom displayed by the Shogun at the negotiating table in the past is still fresh in the memory of the contemptible people today. There is a saying in our Irato book, 'Country to Country, Business Affairs', which means that the affairs of the country are no different from those of the market. The principle is the same for a gentleman to benefit the country, and for a businessman to benefit himself. ”

"Lord Xiancheng is really knowledgeable."

"Whereever, the general's wisdom."

"I have won awards, and I am still the county lord who is erudite."

The two praised each other, and then General North asked.

"I don't know what the so-called business of the county lord refers to?"

"Shangjin County is willing to buy a piece of land from your country at a price of 20 million galles."

20 million Galle is 10,000 Ira money, and General North doesn't think that Wei Lin really wants to use this money to buy land from the Bujin Republic, so he said that Lord D County Cheng has something to say. ”

Wei Lin smiled undiminished and spoke slowly.

"It's not that you want to redeem the land that you ceded from your country, and now that Kamijin Prefecture is at war with the Riya Shrine, it is impossible to scrape together so much money. The contemptible people knew that the general was alone in leading an army and had the right to decide, so he had one thing to ask for. ”

"Please."

"I am willing to pay 20,000,000 Galles to your country within ten years to buy all the land of Rimi Shrine."

"Buying land at Riya Shrine?"

General North was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood what Wellin meant.

At present, the Republic of Bujin has signed an armistice agreement with Kamijin Prefecture, but the Rimi Shrine and the 29 villages, which do not border the Republic of Bujin, have not signed an armistice treaty with the Republic of Bujin. In other words, before the official armistice between the Republic of Sarres and the Kingdom of Yongsan, the Republic of Bujin was still in a state of war with these two forces.

However, since the two sides do not share a border, the Bujin people will not fly. Therefore, even if the two sides are still at war, the Republic of Bujin will not be able to cross the territory of Kamijin County to attack these two forces. In other words, if Kamijin County allowed the Bujin people to cross their territory, then the Bujin Republic would be able to launch an attack on these two forces.

But doing so does not do the Republic of Budin any good. The shrine and the twenty-nine village are two enclaves for the Bujin Republic, or an alien enclave, and it is very difficult to manage, and the slightest carelessness can lead to riots. If Kamijin County did not give the Bujin Republic military access at the time of the riots, then the Bujin Republic would only be able to watch these two pieces of land become independent from its own hands.

However, Welling's proposal solves the problem. If General North agrees to Wei Lin's request, it will be equivalent to the Republic of Bujin receiving a commission of 20 million Galle from Kamijin Prefecture to help Kamijin Prefecture destroy Rimi Shrine. This deal is a sure win for both Shangjin County and Bujin Republic.

Wei Lin also promised that all the food and salary of the Bujin army for this operation would be borne by Kamijin Prefecture, and that Kamijin Shrine would also send a team of shrine maidens to act with the Bujin army to provide treatment for the wounded. For those who died in battle, Kamijin Prefecture will also provide a bereavement pension as required by the Republic of Bukin.

With such favorable conditions, if the real mercenary had been replaced, he would have signed an agreement with Wei Lin with tears in his eyes.

But General North only shook his head slightly.

In terms of personal feelings, General North did not want to trade the lives of his soldiers for money. From a political point of view, after Kamijin Prefecture annexed the Satomi Shrine, as long as he recuperated for ten years, his strength would be fully restored, and even stronger than before the war. Therefore, whether it is public or private, General North has no reason to agree to Wei Lin's request.

Seeing that General North was indifferent to his words, Wellin continued.

"The general's wisdom and courage are both complete and love soldiers like sons, which is really the luck of the Bujin Republic. The contemptible man was willing to raise the purchase price of the land to 40 million galles, and pay 4 million galles a year, to be paid in ten years. The food and salary and death pension consumed by your army can also be paid twice as much by Shangjin County. In addition, Kamijin Prefecture can also recruit 10,000 militia to assist your army in the battle, and your army only needs to capture the large market and the Rimi Shrine before withdrawing and returning home. ”

With the 10,000 militia provided by Kamijin County, the losses of the Bujin people would be greatly reduced. In addition, there is actually only one target that needs to be attacked, and the remnants of the Satomi Shrine need to be solved by Kamijin Prefecture itself, which means that Kamijin Prefecture will not be able to control the area of Satomi Shrine in the short term, and it will consume a certain amount of strength for this.

After much deliberation, General North agreed to Welling's request. But neither General North nor Wei Lin expected that after the fall of the Grand Bazaar and the Rimi Shrine, Kamijin Prefecture would complete the suppression and control of other areas in a very short period of time.

On 7 August, the Bujin Army in the northern part of Kamijin County began to move its forces. On August 10, General North personally led an army of 20,000 to the north of the county seat.

Wellin was in no hurry to let General North attack the Grand Bazaar and the Rimi Shrine. Before Wei Xu led the troops of Shangjin County to Twenty-Nine Village, he had already told Wei Lin about his "dark chess" operation. Although Wei Lin felt that this plan was not easy to succeed, he still promised Wei Xu that the Bujin Army would march to Rimi Shrine after Wei Xu launched the "Dark Chess" operation.

A two-pronged approach!

On August 18, the day when Wei Xu decided to launch the "Dark Chess" operation, Wei Xu held a bamboo stick in each hand and inserted it heavily into the map in his tent. One of the pens is inserted at the location of the military camp of the Urami Shrine, and the other pen is inserted on the Yamato Shrine of Urami.

On the same day, General North began his march to Rimi Shrine. On August 19, 10,000 militiamen from Kamijin County joined forces with General North. On the morning of August 22, the military camp of Rimi Shrine fell into chaos.

Dan Yunhe, the deputy general of the 29th Village Army, led a thousand elite soldiers of the Wei family to suddenly kill, and the army of the Limi Shrine was in turmoil, and all the departments lost their fighting spirit, and there was no commander to command. In less than half an hour, Danyunhe had defeated several troops, including a war witch army.

Danyunhe asked the soldiers to set fire to the camp of the Rimi Shrine, and the soldiers of the coalition saw the smoke and asked Wei Xu to fight. Wei Xu immediately led the coalition army to attack the camp of the Rimi Shrine, and as soon as the main force of the coalition army arrived, the Limi Shrine army was defeated. Thousands of routed troops fled towards Liangyuecheng, the nearest neutral city to the camp, and Wei Xu sent cavalry in pursuit, killing and wounding and capturing more than 2,000 people.

On August 23, the Bujin army approached the foot of Limi Mountain.

In fact, when the Bujin army entered the country, the Great Witch had already gotten the news. But she had no choice but to abandon the three fortresses and concentrate her forces to defend Limi Mountain.

At dawn on 24 August, Bujin's army launched a strong assault on Mount Limi. At noon, the outer defense line of Limi Mountain was lost, and the first-line defenders retreated to the large bazaar, which was assigned to the battle sequence of the Supervision Division. The Bujin army then launched an attack on the Grand Bazaar, and in the evening surrounded the unbroken defenders at the Supervisory Office.

That night, the defenders trapped in the Supervision Division took advantage of the darkness to break through. Not wanting General North to be prepared, most of the breakout defenders were shot by crossbows, and all the survivors surrendered.

At dawn on August 25, the Bujin army began to attack Rimi Shrine. Knowing that she was invincible, the Great Shrine Maiden could only burn down the shrine before the Bujin army could reach the top of the mountain, and lead all the shrine maidens to flee through the secret passage with supplies. After escaping from Mt. Rimi, the Great Witch had no choice but to retreat towards the nearest neutral city, Liangyue City.

Why...... Why is this happening?

The Great Shrine Maiden couldn't figure out why the Bujin people suddenly appeared in the territory of Rimi Shrine.

Since the Bujin army blocked the way up the mountain on August 23, the people who fled from the front line to report the news could not reach the mountain of Rimi, so until now the Great Witch did not know about the defeat of the front-line troops by the coalition forces.

The Great Witch planned to rest for a day after retreating to Liangyue City, and then go to join the frontline troops. In her opinion, the war is not over.

As long as we defeat the armies of Kamijin Prefecture and Twenty-Nine Villages, we will be able to occupy Twenty-Nine Villages and rebuild the Lymi Shrine there...... But before that, the murderers must be made to pay!

On the same day of August 25, a team from Bairensburg also set off in the direction of Liangyue City.

Maier, Xiaoxiao, Yishan and Euris, as well as the brothers and sisters of the Heyan family, are all in the team. Among them, except for the Heyan family, who returned to the city with all their members, the other four only brought thirty people as escorts. Lan Ning and her witch troops were also in the ranks, and in addition to the witch troops, the accompanying troops also included the city guards and militia of Liangyue City.

Before the team set off, Yishan sent two escort cavalry and asked them to return to Liangyue City to prepare for the triumphal ceremony. And on the day of the triumphal ceremony, the Great Witch and her maidens happened to come to Liangyue City.
