Episode 24 Chapter 6 Mysterious Attack
That night, the army camped in an open field with a backdrop to the river. After walking for a day, he was also disturbed by the things he encountered during the day, and Zichuan Xiu felt very tired. He handed over the work of patrolling the camp to Lin Bing, unsaddled the horse himself, and the guards brought him some blades of grass and set up a tent very simply.
He didn't even eat dinner, so he went to sleep. Hazy, I don't know how long I slept when it got dark in the middle of the day, suddenly, there was a short scream outside, followed by another scream, the cry was so terrible that Zi Chuanxiu immediately jumped up from his dream.
He got up from the blanket and shouted, "Guards! β
Xiao Lin rushed in from outside and shouted, "My lord, did you hear it too?" Someone sneaks up, you stay in the tent and don't go out first, I'll let the guards surround the Chinese army first. β
Xiao Lin's movements were fast, and in less than three minutes, there was already a crisp sonorous sound of dense footsteps and iron tools colliding outside, and under the reflection of the bonfire, the figure of the guards holding weapons was clearly cast on the tent.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Lin Bing walked in. He clearly reported: "My lord, we have been attacked. β
"How's it going?"
"Two sentries were killed - their throats were cut off. The enemy has fled. Dekun led the cavalry to search and pursue, and he must catch them. β
In this dark night, the unfamiliar terrain makes it risky to send out cavalry. But Lin Bing is the commander on duty tonight, since the cavalry has been dispatched. After transferring them back, it was a bit of a refutation of Lin Bing's face.
Zi Chuanxiu then nodded: "Then let's go out for a walk." By the way, patrol the camp. β
Out of the tent, the night breeze blew. In the distance, the Siga Mountains loom in the night. The moon showed its face behind the clouds, and the moonlight was so white that it sprinkled on the ground like snow. In the distance, the sound of hooves and the neighing of war horses could be heard, which was the clamor of the cavalry troops.
With Lin Bing, Zi Chuanxiu inspected the Third Division of the Far East, the Seventh Division of the Far East and the Central Military Camp. The results of the inspection made Zichuan Xiu still satisfied, and the sentinels on duty in each unit were very vigilant, and they could find Zichuan Xiu and his party from a distance. The first to ask, the camps were also set up in accordance with the regulations of fences and hidden piles, the troops were not disturbed by the screams just now, and were still asleep.
Zichuan Xiu was very satisfied. When inspecting the Chinese military camp, he said to Lin Bing: "The guards are still very tight. Those thieves also saw that our army was invulnerable, so they fled in a hurry, right? Although we have not been attacked, we must not be negligent, after no man's land, we Liseneans are much closer, they are not as easy to deal with as the Yakun or Goon, this is a strong tribe with a fighting tradition, everyone is born a warrior, even women and children we should not take it lightly. β
Your Excellency, you are right, I have ordered it......
Lin Bing didn't finish his words. I only heard a scream: "Ahhh
Everyone's faces changed color in unison: unlike the screams that came from a distance just now, this scream came from inside the Chinese military camp!
The guards drew their weapons and surrounded Zi Chuanxiu and Lin Bing, Xiao Lin shouted: "The enemy is in the Chinese military camp!" Be vigilant, protect your lords! β
Shocked by this scream. There was also a commotion in the tents of the Chinese military camp in various places. The soldiers poked their heads out of the tent to look, and everywhere there were shouts: "What's the matter? Someone screamed just now! β
"Who's shouting? What's wrong? β
Seeing that more and more soldiers poured out of the tent, more and more chaotic, although they knew that the enemy was hiding in the Chinese barracks, but this chaos could not be investigated, everyone panicked.
Lin Bing shouted: "What are you panicking about? Go back to your tent! The commanders of each unit count the number of people in their headquarters and report! There are not many enemies, let's not panic! Patrol camp gendarmerie, go out now! After roaring in one go, she remembered that a higher commander was present, and bowed her head to apologize to Zi Chuanxiu: "My lord, the lower official has made an assertion!" β
"Chief Lin, you're welcome. Your Excellency is the camp commander tonight, and that would have been your remitting. All you have to do is dispose of it. β
This is the patrol camp gendarmes have been dispatched. The black-cloaked gendarmes stared at the white helmets, holding torches and light bows and swords, and other cautious battles poured out from everywhere, and quickly outflanked the camp where the screams sounded, and the brigade passed by Zichuan Xiu quickly, without making a sound except for the sound of swishing dense footsteps.
The military police guards surrounded and searched the tents one by one. During the operation, from time to time, the whispered shouts of orders sounded, and the officers inspected the camp tents one by one, holding the roster and calling the names in a low voice, and from time to time there was a suppressed response from the camp tent: "Arrived! "Here!" "Here!" The inventory went well.
Lin Bing said to Zi Chuanxiu: "My lord, the enemy has infiltrated my camp somehow, please go back and command the overall situation." The search front line will be left to us, and the next official will report to you as soon as there is progress. β
Knowing that Lin Bing was in the way of his presence and had to spend energy to protect himself, Zi Chuanxiu nodded: "If it's possible, please leave a living." I want to know where they came from. β
"Yes, don't worry, my lord."
"Then please, Chief Hardship Forest."
Lin Bing bowed slightly, Zi Chuanxiu nodded in greeting, and turned around to walk, when suddenly, there was a banging sound in the distance. The two of them followed the prestige at the same time, and saw the gendarmes with light crossbows quickly gather from all directions, and surrounded a tent near the campfire, looking nervous.
"What's going on?"
"My lord, there is something wrong with this tent, no one answers!"
Lin Bing walked towards the surrounded tent, took two steps, she stopped, twitched her nose slightly, and frowned: "The smell of blood is very strong." β
Not only her, but Zichuan Xiu also felt it, and the closer she got to the tent, the faint smell of blood became stronger and stronger. In the end, it turned out to be pungent. He exchanged a look with Lin Bing, vigilant in his heart, such a strong smell of blood, there must be a lot of blood flowing out.
Lin Bing's expression was solemn: "My lord, I'll go over and take care of it, you are waiting here." β
Zi Chuanxiu also wanted to go over, but Xiao Lin had already blocked in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's okay to hand it over there to the military police, Chief Lin can handle the land." β
"Xiao Lin, get out of the way! Otherwise......"
"My lord, your duty is to command the army, not to fight with the demons with bayonets!" Without waiting for Zi Chuanxiu to speak, Xiao Lin interrupted him with a firm tone. At this moment, his tone and demeanor were so similar to his predecessor that Zi Chuanxiu had the illusion that Gu Lei had been resurrected! He was stunned on the spot.
At this time, Lin Bing had already approached the tent surrounded by the military police and shouted, "Which troop's tent is this?" Who sleeps inside? β
The officer on duty ran over: "My lord, this is the Chinese army station." Inside slept five soldiers of the seventh squad of the cavalry regiment. β
"Order them out!"
"My lord, I've already called it, but ......"
"Call again!"
"Yes! All members of the 7th Squad. Immediately come out and concentrate! β
The answer to this order was silence, and not a single person in the tent came out.
Lin Bing took two steps closer, raised a hand, and said in a deep voice: "I'm Lin Bing!" Soldiers of the Seventh Squad, are you still alive? Those who are still alive, please speak up? β
A minute passed, two minutes passed, and there was a deathly silence in the tent, the swarthy doorway open, but no sound came from it.
"Anyone who is still alive, please speak up?"
Lin Bing stood in place, holding one hand up, his body frozen like a sculpture. No one spoke, countless pairs of eyes stared at the tent, and the air seemed to freeze.
For a long time, no one answered.
Lin Bing sighed silently, she suddenly waved her hand, and the gendarmes shot the crossbow in their hands at the same time, and the chaotic construction densely penetrated the canvas of the tent and shot in. Almost at the same time, a shrill scream tore through the night sky, and a black shadow suddenly tore the canvas and pounced out of the tent, and swooped down on the nearest gendarme like lightning, knocking him to the ground, followed by a short, miserable scream, giving people a terrible feeling!
The incident happened in a hurry, and the gendarmes were armed with light crossbows, but they did not dare to fire them because they feared the lives of their comrades. The gendarmes with swords stood on the periphery, unable to come for a while. At this time, only Lin Bing, who was the closest, responded. She pulled out her saber at her waist with lightning and leaped forward, stabbing at the black shadow, her movements swift and sharp, no less than that of a man.
With a soft snort, the sword pierced into the flesh, and there was another scream, and the black shadow jumped away from the downed gendarme. Zi Chuanxiu wanted to step forward to see clearly, but Xiao Lin grabbed him stiffly: "My lord, don't go up!" Just leave it to Chief Lin! β
"You let go!"
Zichuan Xiu pushed him away suddenly, and right in front of him, a shocking scene appeared. The gendarme who had fallen to the ground had already bitten his throat off, and the red blood was pouring out. He couldn't scream anymore, so he clutched his throat in pain and let out a low cooing scream.
There is no need to call a military doctor for this kind of injury, and a gendarme next to him showed a painful look on his face: "Brother, let's go!" He drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed the wounded soldier in the heart, settling his pain.
This was originally a very thrilling scene, but at this time, no one could take care of him, and everyone's attention was attracted by the "black shadow".
Standing in front of them was a creature that had never been seen before. In the past, Zichuan Xiu thought that the ugliest creature in the world was none other than the demon race. But tonight, that perception was overturned. The animal in front of you is the size of a wolf, but it is not a wolf! He had a wolf-like head but an ape-like body, and he walked on all fours, claws glistening with the edges of his fingers. His body and limbs were covered with black hair, his mouth was bulging like a wolf, and he had sharp teeth that protruded from the edge of his mouth, and the side of his mouth was constantly dripping with blood, and he was gurgling and biting something, and the sound was terrifying.
Faced with the heavy encirclement of humans, the monster's eyes glowed with a cruel green light. He squatted with his hind legs half-bent, his body tensed tightly, like a taut bow, ready to attack, maintaining a posture that could jump up at any time, and looked at everyone coldly.
For a moment, I was stunned by the bear light radiating from the green eyes, and no one could make a sound. The soldiers stiffened and stood in place, clenching their weapons tightly in their hands.
Long. Someone groaned and exclaimed, "What is this?" Is it a demon, or a beast? β
No one could answer him, but he finally woke everyone up. Without waiting for Lin Bing's second order, the gendarmes fired crossbow arrows at the monster. The monster was very agile, dodging back and forth in the rain of arrows. Dodging the first round of arrows, it leaped and lunged towards the wall of people that surrounded it, as fast as a shadow.
There was a shout from the crowd that this guy was moving too fast, and if he had been allowed to blend in with the soldiers, the rat thrower would not be able to fire a bow and arrow, and perhaps he would have to let it run away.
When it was too late, a silver light broke through the night, Lin Bing suddenly threw out the short sword in his hand, and hit the monster that flew forward, the monster let out a sad roar, and fell to the ground diagonally, its waist was stabbed by Lin Bing's short sword!
"Launch! Shoot the arrows! Lin Bing shouted eagerly.
Arrows rained down on the monster again. After being wounded, the monster lost its terrifying speed of advancing and retreating like electricity, and was shot into a hedgehog in two strokes at most.
Looking at the monster corpse full of arrows, everyone had a sense of unreality as if they were dreaming, no one spoke out for a long time, and a strong smell of blood permeated the audience.
After a long time, someone groaned and sighed, "What kind of monster is this!" β
Afterwards, it was found that this monster had caused a lot of killings, except for two sentries on duty on the periphery who were bitten to death, half of the five soldiers of the seventh squad were bitten by it in their sleep - this monster seemed to like biting people's throats - plus the gendarme who died in the line of duty, a total of eight people.
Eight soldiers died at the hands of a beast whose name he couldn't even name. Seeing the investigation report submitted by the military police group, Zichuan Xiu didn't know what to say.
"What is that monster, have you found out?"
"Not yet, my lord, we asked General Bran, and he said that he had never seen such an animal during his last attack on the Demon Kingdom. Now, the gendarmerie headquarters named the monster the fierce wolf. β
"Looks like we'll have to find some locals to ask. Ask Goda Khan to come and let him see the wolf's corpse and see if he can say anything. β
When he saw Zichuan Xiu, Gotha Khan had a sad face. Zi Chuanxiu greeted him: "What's the matter, sir, did you see the fierce wolf?" β
"Wolves?" Gotha Khan said: "What's that?" β
"Huh? They didn't show you? That monster who was shot to death killed eight people last night, and it made us feel uneasy! Now the gendarmerie department named it the Ferocious Wolf. β
Gotha Khan was relieved: "My lord, I don't know why you call it a fierce wolf. However, in the Protoss, we all call them blood wolves, a kind of barbarians. β
"Barbarians? You call this monster a human? β
Zi Chuanxiu stared at Gota Khan for a long time, and looked at him at a loss: "Sir, can you tell me more details?" Are there many such monsters in the kingdom? β
"Many, thousands. But don't worry, my lord, the barbarians are generally kept out of the Eastern Wilderness Country, and there are very few of them within the kingdom. β
"What kind of creatures are barbarians? Is it a man, or a beast? β
"It is both a man and a beast. It has the strength and claws of a beast, and it has an intelligence similar to that of a human. In addition to their survival instincts, they are capable of some low-level thinking. The trouble is, they are so ferocious and easy to kill, their claws are sharp, and they are bloodthirsty......"
Seeing that Zichuan Xiu was still frowning, Gota Khan said helplessly: "My lord, I know that human beings generally call our gods the demon race, in your impression, what is the demon race?" β
Zichuan Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally said the truth: "Savage, cruel, bloody, tough, stupid." β
Gotha Khan smiled bitterly: "My lord." You're talking too realistically. My lord. Let's put it this way, what you humans think of us Protoss. It's our Protoss' view of the barbarians. In the eastern wilderness grasslands outside the country, there are thousands of barbarians, who are fierce and strong, and they are easy to kill. In order to guard against them, each tribe sent troops to garrison the eastern border to prevent them from infiltrating the hinterland of the Protoss. The only good thing is that the barbarian orcs have not yet been able to form a tribe or a nation. They can only fight armies alone, so the border troops can still deal with them. β
"And how effective are they?"
"My lord, I heard that eight soldiers died last night to kill this barbarian, so you can estimate its combat strength."
"But last night it was a sneak attack! Our soldiers were all bitten to death in their sleep. That shouldn't be counted, right? β
"The sneak attack did take advantage of it." Gotha Khan said calmly: "But my lord, you have to see, in order to kill a barbarian, you used thousands of gendarmes at that time, and they were all armed with the most advanced light crossbow weapons, and there were also masters of you and Lord Lin Bing's minions in the presence of the gendarmes - even so, it still bit a gendarme to death!" β
"Sir, imagine what would happen to a squad of twenty soldiers in the wilderness when they encountered a barbarian in the wilderness, under fair conditions. Are you sure you'll be able to kill it? β
Thinking of the terrifying figure that advanced and retreated like lightning. Shikawa shuddered. With such a fast speed, if it hadn't been surrounded by a group last night, it might have been allowed to run away.
Zichuan Xiu was thinking about it, and Gotha Khan threw another heavy bomb: "Moreover, barbarians are not only blood wolves. There are many other kinds. The landed barbarians are good at hard armor and hard skin, and their strength is infinite; Some barbarians are good at hand-to-hand combat, agile as electricity, and their minions as sharp as knives; There are also barbarians covered in thorns that can shoot like bows and arrows. In order to guard against these monsters, the kingdom's Eastern Great Wilderness Border Garrison loses a lot of personnel every year. Although there is fertile land, no one dares to cultivate it. β
"No matter how strong a barbarian is, he is only alone. Your country has a strong military, why don't you take the initiative to eradicate them once and for all? β
"Eradication?" Gohanda smiled bitterly again: "My lord, we just hope that the barbarians will not come to eradicate us!" The famous Golden Khan in history was determined to completely eradicate the barbarian plague. He issued a call, and the tribes also responded positively, and the tribes formed a total of 500,000 troops, advancing eastward from the border, killing tens of thousands of barbarians, but in front of them there was still an endless stream of new monsters appeared, and the casualties of the purging team were getting bigger and bigger.
What's even more terrifying is that the deeper the army goes into the Eastern Wilderness Grassland, the stronger the barbarians it encounters, and even some monsters that have never been encountered before, they are so strong that they are perverted, and a super-level barbarian can kill the entire regiment of Protoss warriors, and the battle situation is unbearable. After advancing less than 500 kilometers, the clean-up team was unable to advance because of excessive casualties, so it had to turn back, but when it came from a clear road, countless barbarians appeared out of nowhere when they returned, and they had to fight all the way back.
Of the 500,000 Protoss troops at the time of that dispatch, less than 300,000 were able to return to the country, and most of them were disabled. Since then, the Emperor of the Protoss has never launched the idea of expanding his territory to the Eastern Wilderness.
My lord, why are the Protoss so eager to conquer the Xichuan Continent? It is indeed true that we have a harsh environment, little arable land, many hills, frequent natural disasters, and often do not have enough to eat. But this is not enough for everyone to fight so hard, after all, it is better to die than to live. But there is still such a group of fierce gods and evil brakes in the Eastern Great Wilderness, and we can't even think about it!
We are also afraid, hoping to be able to hide to the west of Guqi Mountain, like humans, away from the group of plague gods in the Eastern Wilderness. The Protoss often waged wars against humans, and that was also forced out by the barbarians. β
Gota Khan said for a long time, seizing the opportunity of his pause, Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly asked: "Sir, according to what you said, barbarians usually only appear in the Eastern Wilderness grasslands outside the country, but we are still far away from the Eastern Wilderness, why did we meet barbarians here?" β
"My lord, I also think it's strange, logically speaking, barbarians shouldn't appear here, this place is thousands of miles away from the border of the Eastern Great Wilderness, and there is also a Demon God Castle and the border guard in between, there is no reason for barbarians to drive straight to this point, unless they ......"
Gotha Khan hesitated, Zi Chuanxiu looked at him, the two of them turned to the same thought, and a look of fear gradually appeared in their eyes.
Gotha asked in a trembling voice: "Do the Senea really dare to defy the condemnation of the world?" β
"It's hard to say. Extermination. What else did the Seneans dare not do? β
"Cardin is too bold to let these murderers in! Half of the kingdom is within the barbarian foraging range. The people of the eastern part of the kingdom are now in trouble! Gotha Khan sighed again and again: "This is a great catastrophe, my lord, not only our gods, but also you humans will be implicated!" β
Gotha Khan's prophecy soon came true, and over the next few days of the march, the scouts of the expeditionary force were attacked by barbarians, some of whom were killed. dragged back with a thousand strange corpses to ask for merit; Some missed, the soldiers were killed or wounded, and they failed to catch the other party, so the commander had to come back in a gloomy manner to report that he had been attacked by strange creatures, and then was invited by the Judge Advocate General to close the small black house. And then I had to write a lot of debriefing materials to the intelligence bureau.
The Intelligence Bureau reported to Zichuan Xiu that there are several main types of barbarians that have appeared at present, one is like the "fierce wolf" that appeared that night, and the terrifying thing about this monster is its lightning speed; The second is "Blood Eagle" - this is the name given by the soldiers, Zichuan Xiu thinks it is much more pleasant than the crepe "Peng Yu" that Gota Khan said - this is a strange bird with huge wings, with sharp beaks and sharp claws, specializing in diving down in the air and sneaking attack, like to eat human brains, fortunately the skin is not very thick, and it can be shot with a bow and arrow; The third is a monster that resembles the body of a bear head and a monkey. This monster has great strength and sharp claws, and can scratch through the bright light armor of the infantry in one fell swoop, but fortunately, it is slow, and the light crossbow can penetrate its skin.
Listened to the report. Zichuan Xiu felt that things were not as terrifying as Gotha Khan said, the barbarians were very fierce, but in the face of an army, in the face of thousands of crossbow arrows and spears, it was still flesh and blood.
Gotha Khan scoffed: "My lord, just wait and see." Now all the fish are trash fish, and those truly terrifying monsters haven't come out yet! β
In addition to the appearance of the barbarians, the expeditionary force also encountered another incident, facing the direction of the army, the originally sparsely populated road suddenly became densely crowded. The vanguard was startled, thinking that the Senea tribe had counterattacked, only to find out later that it was not the demon army, but the plane. Thousands of demon civilians poured westward from house to house, mainly the elderly, children, and women, and the crowd was so large that it blocked the way for the army to advance.
"It's a refugee wave." After checking it, Gotha Khan reported to Zichuan Xiu: "As we expected, Cardin has opened the borders of the Eastern Great Wilderness, and all the garrisons on the border have been transferred back to deal with us, and the barbarians who have been roaming the steppe are now in!" Now, the inhabitants of the east of the Demon God Castle are fleeing west. β
In this case, it became dangerous to continue advancing towards the Demon God Castle, and Shikawa Shu called an impromptu meeting of the generals to discuss the next move of the army.
Because of the importance of the matter, not only the generals of humans and orcs who participated in this military meeting, but also the leader of the Goang clan, the leader of the Goang clan, the demon allies of the expeditionary force, also attended the meeting. They were well versed in the kingdom and could provide the generals with the necessary information if necessary.
At the beginning of the meeting, Shikawa Shu introduced the current situation. Cardin's move was so unexpected that the generals were a little overwhelmed.
Lin Bing shook his head and sighed, Wen He lowered his head and pondered, Bai Chuan was thoughtful, Fang Yun and Wu Bin, the two young generals who had newly joined the Zichuan Show Group, naturally did not dare to speak first, only Roger was over there and made a big fuss: "What a fuck!" β
He scolded: "Why didn't you see it back then? Cardin, this little girl seems to be sven, but she is really kind! Bold and vicious! Her hand is comparable to Boss Dilin's burning of Emperor Du! β
Suddenly, it seemed that half of the people at the banquet had a cold, and the coughing continued. Di Lin, the chief inspector of the Zichuan family, the star of the famous generals who defended the imperial capital in the Demon War, is now responsible for chasing down and investigating the traitors who defected to the Demon Clan in the War of Defending the Holy Clan, and can decide the life and death of thousands of people with a single word. Such a powerful figure, Roger actually compared him with the chieftain of the Senea tribe, and even gave him a comment: "Vicious! "βThat's pretty audacious!
Zichuan Xiu asked, "Roger, what do you think?" β
"Your Excellency. I don't understand anything that's too complicated. Whoever you say to hit, we'll clean him up! But. I think Cardin is scaring us! She's betting that we don't have the guts to go over and clean them up!
My lord, I don't believe in this evil! What barbarians, with an army of 400,000 Earth Demon God Emperor Carter, have been beaten by us, aren't those demons and monsters flesh and blood? Cut down with a knife, ten thousand arrows will be fired, and any barbarian will die! The Demon God Castle is still the Eastern Wilderness. None of them can stop our army! β
Roger spoke proudly, slapping the table vigorously as he spoke.
Bai Chuan glanced at him and said coldly, "I broke the table, and I will deduct money from your salary next month." β
The hero who had just proudly declared that he was going to set foot on the Demon God Castle and wipe out the Eastern Wilderness immediately paused, Roger smirked so much that he couldn't open his eyes, and leaned over with a straight face: "Why bother, we have such a good relationship, it's too hurtful to say that you want to deduct money......"
"Stay away from me!"
Zichuan Xiu asked Goda Khan: "If Cardin does this, he is not afraid that the barbarians will clean up the Senea first?" They are closer to the Eastern Wilderness than we are, and they should be more violated. β
Gota Khan was still groaning, but Lu Di spoke first: "My lord, I used to be in the Senea Army. I know a little bit about this. β
said this, but Lu Di stopped talking by himself, looking forward to it with a lot of weight, and looking at the important task of his hometown with blazing eyes. The deep expression of the frowning face, the melancholy eyes that were thinking hard, the elegant posture of holding the chin in the hand and the contemplation, and the blazing gaze of the foresightβall this shows that our Lord Lu Di is not an ordinary person! He is very knowledgeable, proficient in strategy, familiar with domestic affairs, and has served as a high-ranking general in the kingdom's army, he knows half of the heavenly affairs, and he knows all the kingdom affairs! He is a great man like the legendary wise man and the wise man, and now, blessed are you, his old man is merciful and willing to give you ignorant beings a guide to the maze. Ask him for guidance with all your heart. Be earnest, be earnest......
Come, ask me for advice!
Which of the generals in the tent was not a cunning figure, looking at Lu Di with a smile, but no one was willing to make a sound to help him make amusement.
Roger yawned: "Heh, I had a bad meal last night." The tea seems to be all bad? β
Ming Yu: "It's normal to be bad when it's transported from such a long distance." β
Lu Di: "Ahem! β
Lin Bing: "My lord, the Ministry of Judge Advocate General has reported that there have been more violations of discipline. Wenhe, don't laugh! Your troops are the least disciplined! You have to urge them, or don't blame me for not showing mercy! β
Wen He: "My lord, don't listen to Lin Bing's nonsense, my subordinates are very well-behaved." β
"And quibble! Your subordinates did the last time you robbed a woman! β
Lu Di: "Ahem, cough, ......"
Zi Chuanxiu said impatiently: "Lu Di, do you have a cold?" If you have a cold, go out and cough, there are a lot of people here. β
"This, this, my lord, I have some opinions I want to say......"
Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help laughing: "If you have a fart, let it go quickly, everyone is very busy." β
Lu Di kept wiping his sweat: "Yes, yes...... Before they were lucky enough to become the Golden Clan in the Imperial War, the Senea were already a fighting tribe defending the eastern frontier, and the Senean soldiers were specially trained to deal with the barbarians. Having fought against the barbarians for thousands of years, this has become our instinctive reaction. I heard that eight of the thousands of people who were used to catch a ferocious wolf that night died in exile, but I don't think it's necessary. If I had gone, I would have been able to capture that wolf alive with my eyes closed! β
After being translated by Zichuan Xiu, Lu Di's words caused a slight sensation.
"What Lu Di means, I roughly understand." Shikawa Shu said: "My lords, we are afraid of the barbarians, because we don't know about these monsters; But for the Senea tribe, who often fought with the barbarians, this was nothing, nothing more than the battlefield changed from the Eastern Great Wilderness to the surroundings of the Demon God Castle. That's what you mean, right? β
In broken human language, Rudi stammered, "Exactly, my lord." I guess Cardin had the idea: to gather the main Senea forces in the Demon God Castle and wait for us to attack the city. Demon God Fort is known as the first fortified city on the mainland, they are protected by city walls, and the barbarians do not do much harm to them, but our besieging army must camp in the wilderness, before the decisive battle with the main force of Senea, our army must endure the endless harassment and attacks of the barbarians, while Cardin can stay in the city at ease, waiting for the combat strength and morale of our army to be pumped to the lowest point by the barbarians to go out of the city and fight with our army. At that time, the situation of our army was quite dangerous. β
Although he is also a high-ranking official and nobleman of the demon clan from Senea, Lu Di said "our army" very smoothly, as if he was the general of the authentic Zichuan Army, and everyone here was very happy.
Although Lu Di is funny, as a veteran general who is familiar with the inside of the demon clan, his words cannot be ignored. After exchanging words with Wen He, Lin Bing, the second person in the expeditionary force, nodded and said, "Your Excellency Lu Di's words are reasonable, the situation may indeed be as he said, Cardin is under the pretense of waiting for work. β
Everyone had gloomy faces, and everyone was turning the same thought: "If Cardin really retracts all the main forces of Senea back to the Demon God Castle, our army has to fall into a siege battle, facing the first fortified city on the mainland, are we really sure that we can take the Demon God Castle?" β
Zichuan Xiu looked at Shirakawa: "How many remnants of the Senea clan are there, and does the Far Eastern Military Intelligence Agency have any information?" β
Prepared for this question, Bai Chuan can talk eloquently without looking at his notes: "My lord, no one can say how many troops the Senea clan still has. The Far Eastern Military Intelligence Agency can only rely on intelligence to guess an approximate figure, but it is not too far off. β
"Say it."
"Yes! My lord, when the Senea tribe returned from a crushing defeat, Cardin and Yun Qianxue led the remnants of the army with the Yulin Army and the Seventeenth Army as the basic troops, and were pursued all the way by our army, and the casualties were very heavy. When entering the borders of the kingdom, its total strength will not exceed 70,000, but of these 70,000 troops, the disabled soldiers account for a small half, and the number of usable soldiers will not exceed 50,000. When Cardin and Yun Qianxue returned to China, in order to prevent our army's counterattack, they would definitely re-recruit soldiers and horses to form a new army. However, in the final period of the Patriotic War, in order to form the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Armies, Senea had already issued two conscription orders, and they had already exhausted the men in the country, and the new recruits did not exceed 100,000 troops, and the quality of the soldiers was not high.
It is worth worrying about the border garrison drawn back from the border of the Eastern Great Wilderness. The Senean border garrison fought the barbarians day and night, and was a formidable elite division. But fortunately, this force has been wiped out by Prince Caton many times in the late stage of the Patriotic War, and there are not many people left, only more than 30,000 people.
In addition, there are some small tribes that are still attached to the Senea tribe, and it is estimated that they will also send troops to help the Seneans, but their strength is limited, and the number of troops they can dispatch will not exceed 20,000 or 30,000, and their combat strength and morale are far from those of the Senean soldiers. β
Zi Chuan Xiu took a pen and paper and made a rough calculation, and frowned: "Bai Chuan, if you calculate it, it is possible that we will be fighting with the barbarians while besieging the first fortified city on the mainland guarded by nearly 200,000 Senea's troops?" β
Bai Chuan nodded: "This is the most extreme possibility, and the situation may not be so bad." β
"Not necessarily?" Zi Chuanxiu smiled and said: "I have been a soldier for fifteen years, and I have not learned anything, the only thing I have learned is to know how bad things can be, and it will inevitably become so bad." β
