Chapter 5: Demon Frenzy
After appeasing Lin Bing, Zichuan Xiu didn't even have time to eat a bite before he was busy holding meetings with high-ranking military and political figures in the Far East, such as Ming Yu, Delun, Sosi, and Lu Zuo, and listened to their reports on the situation in various places and the state of the army. After all, he has been gone for more than half a year and needs to
Reacquaint yourself with and grasp the situation in the Far East. The meeting lasted until the evening, and the generals left the governor's palace with a tired body, but Zichuan Xiu could not rest, and the guards reported that there were still people waiting outside for the Lord of Light, and he had been waiting there since noon, and had been waiting for more than ten hours. ξ
"Is it Rose?" Shikawa Xiu groaned, and even though he was already tired, he decided to meet him immediately. ξ
When they met, Shikawa almost didn't recognize Rose. Is this gray-haired, skinny, nodding old man of the Demon Clan, really the hereditary meritorious duke of the Demon Court back then?
As soon as he entered the house, he immediately fell down in front of Zi Chuan Xiu and kissed Zi Chuan Xiu's shoes, and Zi Chuan Xiu quickly retracted his feet: "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, Lord Duke." βξ
Rose raised his head, Zi Chuanxiu was taken aback when he saw his wrinkles and haggardness, he knelt on the ground, and said reverently: "Great King of Light, please don't call me Duke, I am no longer the Duke of the Protoss, but a humble slave of your subordinates, with your light shining, our Tartar clan can live in peace, and the whole Tartar clan is grateful to Your Highness for your generosity and kindness, and will never betray Your Highness." βξ
"Dukeβuh, Mr. Ross, please get up and speak first." ξ
But Ross refused to get up, saying that how could a slave stand and talk to his master, it was too unruly. ξ
In the end, Zichuan Xiudu was about to get angry, so he got up from the ground in a panic, looked panicked, and asked anxiously: "Your Royal Highness the King of Light, I didn't make you angry, did I?" βξ
Looking at the slender body, Zichuan Xiu sighed with emotion and didn't say anything for a long time. ξ
The vicissitudes of life are really changing. Pride and humility are just two sides of the same coin, and once the nobleman who was once high and powerful will adapt to the role of a servant faster than ordinary people. ξ
He lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Ross, the Tatars have come to the Far East, and everything is okay?" Are you still used to it? βξ
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your care for us. The soldiers and civilians of the Far East are very good to our Tatars, especially the adults Shirakawa and Mingyu, who in the most difficult time, they provided us with rations and set aside a piece of land for us to cultivate ourselves. We are deeply grateful for the kindness you have shown to us Tartars. βξ
Zi Chuanxiu nodded, and asked again, "Then do you have any difficulties in life?" Is there anything I can do to help you? He guessed that the reason why Rose had been waiting outside for a long time must have been in trouble. ξ
Rose hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, I heard that the Protoss has broken through the Valen Pass and is about to fight a big battle, I think Your Highness, you must be in need of troops and soldiers at this time, right?" βξ
Zi Chuanxiu nodded: "You're right. βξ
"Your Highness, your enemy is the enemy of our Tartars, your will is an order to our Tartars, our entire Tartars are loyal to you, we Tartars are willing to fight for Your Highness, and I hope Your Highness can accept us!" ξ
Zichuan Xiuxiao was taken aback: "Tatar clan? βξ
"Exactly! We applied at the beginning of the year to help defend the Far East. But for some reason, Lord Shirakawa has not answered, so I have no choice but to ask Your Highness directly. βξ
Zi Chuan Xiu was groaning, and Rose said eagerly: "Your Highness, we don't ask for anything, like other Far Eastern troops, we are completely under your command. I just think that if Lu Di can also lead the army of the Seneya to serve His Highness, then we Tartars can do the same. This is the only way for my clan to repay His Highness, and I beg His Highness to promise us. βξ
He lowered his head and said, "There is another reason, life is really difficult now. If our soldiers can join the Far Eastern Army and get a salary to go home, they will be able to feed their families, and their wives and children will not have to starve to death. βξ
Zichuan Xiu was shocked. He understood Shirakawa's concerns, it was one thing to accept Tatar refugees, but for the Tatars to reorganize their army, Shirakawa was worried about raising tigers, so it was normal not to agree. ξ
Zichuan Xiu asked: "How many people are the Tatars in the Far East?" βξ
Rose showed a sad and indignant expression: "Your Highness, my Tatar clan had a population of three million in its heyday, but now, there are less than 300,000 people left in the Far East. All the others were killed! βξ
Shikawa Shu was shocked again. For the first time, he experienced the cruelty of the Demon Emperor's War, and it was really ruthless! If it weren't for Shirakawa's quick decision to lend a hand, the Tatars would have really become a historical term. ξ
"Of the 300,000 people, how many of them are young adults?" ξ
Rose counted his fingers for a while, and said embarrassedly: "My lord, most of our men died on the battlefield, less than 30,000 of the 300,000 people are young and middle-aged, and most of the others are old and young women and children. βξ
Shikawa Xiu was relieved. Even if the entire Tatar clan joined the army, there were only about 30,000 people, and the Far Eastern Army was as many as hundreds of thousands, and they could not shake the foundation of the Far Eastern Army. ξ
He said to Ross, "Ross, I agree with the warriors of your clan to join the Far Eastern Army, but only five thousand men will be enough. βξ
"Your Highness, five thousand is too little! We can send more! Even if all the men of the clan participate in the war, 20,000 or 30,000 people will do! βξ
Zi Chuanxiu shook his head lightly and said gently: "Rose, the battlefield is ruthless!" You've already suffered a great loss, so leave some seeds for the Tartars! Without men, life would be very difficult! βξ
Hearing Zichuan Xiu's thoughtful words, Rose's nose was sour, and he cried out loud when he thought of the thousands of compatriots who died in the civil war. While crying, he kowtowed to Zichuan Xiu again and again: "Your Highness, the Tartar Army will definitely be loyal to you to the death!" We will select the strongest fighters, and 5,000 elite soldiers are 5,000 death squads! As long as you are willing to accept us, the Tartar army is willing to act as the stormtrooper of the whole army, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not retreat! Your Highness, our Tartar clan is your dog, if you don't like it, we will immediately pounce on him and bite him! βξ
Zichuan Xiu finally appeased him, and promised to give a group of food to the Tatar refugees. ξ
Rose was grateful and was about to leave, when Zichuan Xiu suddenly thought of something, and he stopped Rose: "Rose, I'll inquire about someone." On the Far Eastern Highway, I met the commander of the Twelfth Army of the Kingdom, the patriarch of the Mongol tribe, Duke Menghan, ...... "
Hearing the name of Meng Khan, Rose immediately wiped away his tears and exclaimed murderously: "What! Mon Khan came to the Far East! Where is he? Your Highness, I'll take revenge on him!" βξ
"Unfortunately, I met him three days ago, and he may have arrived in Valen by now. Rose, even if you can find him, it's useless, he now has more than 100,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses around him, you can't help him. βξ
Rose was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Tatars had declined, and there was really nothing he could do about the Mongols. ξ
Recalling the glory days of the past when the Tatars were second only to the Senea, he burst into tears. ξ
Zichuan Xiu was curious: "Why is Ross so sensitive to Meng Khan's name?" βξ
Rose burst into tears: "Your Highness, you don't understand, Meng Khan is the great enemy of our entire Tartar clan!" Our people hate him to the bone, and they all want to kill him and then hurry! βξ
"Oh? I always thought that the Tatars hated the Demon God Emperor the most. βξ
"Your Highness, although His Majesty the Demon God Emperor defeated our clan, he defeated us with dignity, and the winner was the king and the loser destroyed the slaves, this was originally the rule of the imperial war, we lost convincingly, there is nothing to hate." ξ
"But Mon Khanβ" Rose gritted his teeth, "that shameless and despicable villain, the reason why our people have fallen to such a miserable state is all thanks to him!" βξ
He told Shikawa Shu the inside story of last year's Imperial War. The leader of the Mongolian clan, Meng Khan, is over sixty years old and has served as the head of the Mongolian clan for more than 30 years, which is longer than the current Demon God Emperor who has succeeded to the throne, and he can be regarded as the predecessor of the demon royal family. ξ
With the exception of the Seneya and the Tatars, the Mongols are the only tribe with two legions in the kingdom's army, and they are strong. ξ
Mon Khan and Ross have a deep friendship, and the two have always been brothers and sisters, and they are very close. ξ
Before launching the rebellion, Ross wrote to the Mongols suggesting that he would make a "big move" and that if he broke with the Senea, which side would the Mongols stand on? ξ
Meng Khan replied very clearly: "We have been friends for more than thirty years, and I will definitely support you, brother!" Even if the Tatars are unfortunate to lose, we Mongols will protect you! βξ
With Mon Khan's promise, the Rus were relieved to start the war. ξ
At the beginning of the war, the Tatars won one victory after another, and almost reached the vicinity of the Demon God Castle.
Seeing that there was a bargain to choose from, Meng Khan sent a messenger to contact Rus, saying that the Mongols would immediately send troops to join Rus to attack the Demon God Castle. ξ
Ross thought that great reinforcements were coming, and even if he failed, he could retreat from the territory of the Mongols, and he let go of the fight. ξ
Unexpectedly, the situation changed abruptly, the Seneya Zhulu legion reinforced the Demon God Castle, and defeated the Tatar tribe, according to the prior agreement, Ross led his troops to retreat through the territory of the Mongol tribe, at this time the Demon God Emperor sent a letter to ask Meng Khan: "What is the intention of the nobles to gather troops and shield the rebellion of the Tatar tribe?" βξ
Seeing that the general situation was not good, Meng Khan immediately turned his face and denied people, and he scolded: "Rus, you traitor, you have betrayed the kingdom in collusion with traitors in the Far East in the name of the Imperial War, and the righteous Mongolian warriors will never sit idly by and watch your criminal acts!" βξ
200,000 Mongolian cavalry slaughtered in indignation, slashing and killing the retreating Tatar civilians, which completely reduced the Tatar population by one-half. ξFollowing behind the Mongols, the various tribes also sent troops to pursue and intercept the Tatars, but everyone was just currying favor with the Seneya, only the Mongols wholeheartedly devoted themselves to the pursuit and killing, and chased them all the way to the Far Eastern Boundary Monument, and more Tatar civilians died in the hands of the Mongols than in the hands of the Senea. ξ
Rose gritted his teeth and said: "Meng Khan's hands are stained with the blood of my people, as long as there is one person alive among our Tatar people, we will never forget this blood feud for the rest of our lives!" βξ
Sending Rose out, Shikawa Shu fell into deep thought. From Rus's words, he came to the conclusion that he was cunning, shameless, fickle, murderous, and untrustworthy, and that he was not very loyal to the Senea and the Demon Emperor, and that he was an opportunistic wall-to-wall. ξ
It's just that such a guy has two powerful kingdom legions in his hands, and now that the kingdom's military strength is weakened after the civil war, these 200,000 cavalry play a pivotal role. ξ
Zichuan Xiu vaguely felt that there was something to be used in it, but he couldn't think of a clue for a while, so he secretly wrote down the name. ξ
In the first half of 784 years, shocking events followed, and the long river of history gazed with wonder and worry at the various countries and governments on the mainland, anxious about the future of mankind and about their future path. ξ
From late March to early April, the Sixth Army, Eleventh Army, Twelfth Army, and Thirteenth Army of the Demon Kingdom arrived in Valen, and the Demon Army quickly assembled, and more follow-up troops continued to arrive on the Far Eastern Highway. ξ
Valen is a natural military fortress, but it is also a huge city, there are more than a million residents in the city, when the demon army conquered the fortress, most of the human residents did not have time to escape, fortunately, the demon general Yun Qianxue strictly forbade the demon army to wantonly kill civilians, and the humans in the city trembled and lived, and did not dare to provoke the occupation army a little. ξ
At first, there was still hope that the family army would counterattack and rescue them, but as the demon army arrived one after another, the streets and alleys of Valen were filled with black or green skin, noisy and harsh demon soldiers, and the harsh demon language mixed into a hazy mist over the city. ξ
At this time, the inhabitants of the city were completely desperate. ξ
The highest attic in the center of the Valen Fortress, this is where the fortress was first exposed to the sun. With the treacherous terrain, the last human soldiers of the Valen Fortress once fought against the demon invaders here, and all of them were killed, and the wounded who could not move were pushed out by the incoming demon soldiers from the twenty-meter-high attic skylight. ξ
The blood stains of the resisters have not been wiped clean, and the attic has become the temporary headquarters of the demon occupation army, and the demon general is not afraid of the smell of blood. ξ
The quarrelsome military meeting had been going on all night. The commanders of the legions demanded that they immediately go out of the pass to launch an attack on the human race, and the Yulin general Yun Qianxue believed that it was an extremely cautious event for the demon army to break out of the Valen Pass, and once the demon clan was out of the pass, a full-scale war with the human race would be inevitable, and it would not be wise to fight a full-scale war with the human race when the Far East had not yet been pacified. ξ
The dawn sun shone into the attic through the skylight, and the commander of the Sixth Army, Winkla, stood up tiredly: "Lord Yulin, it seems that it is impossible to reach a consensus. Let's do our own thing. βξ
He strode out of the door, followed behind him, and the commanders of the 12th Army Menghan, the 13th Army Mengdi and other legions got up and went out one after another. The conference room became empty. ξ
The commander of the Eleventh Army, Peima, was the only one who remained. He was willing to stay, not because he agreed with Yun Qianxue's main battle, but because he and Yun Qianxue were friends who grew up together. ξ
Pei Ma's blue eyes stared at Yun Qianxue: "Yun, you are the number one warrior in the kingdom. In the past when you conquered the Far East, and now you have conquered Valen, you have made outstanding achievements, and your achievements are unparalleled. You are by no means a cowardly person, and I don't understand why you, who have defeated humanity countless times, are cautious. The conquest of mankind is the national policy of His Majesty, and with the powerful military power of our race, it is easy to defeat the cowardly and stupid human beings! βξ
Yun Qianxue muttered: "Pei Ma, I had the same idea as you at the beginning, but the more I came into contact with humans, the more I found them terrible. Humans are strange creatures, most of the time they are shockingly cowardly, but once they are provoked to rise up and wield their knives, they burst out with terrible power, as if they have become a completely different creature, and they are not afraid of death, and they will continue to do so! Under the city of Payi, after the Central Army was cornered, they were so strong that I was afraid; The incident of the Far Eastern Hou Zichuan Xiu back then, you also saw it with your own eyes, in our royal camp, he killed dozens of our senior generals in one breath and retreated, which master of the kingdom dared to go to the imperial capital alone to do the same thing? βξ
Thinking of the Zichuan Show incident back then, Pei Ma showed a look of fear: "Zichuan Xiu, that's a monster!" Fortunately, he is dead, and the Great Demon God blesses, and I hope we will never encounter him and humans like him again in our lives! βξ
Yun Qianxue smiled faintly. He didn't want to tell Pei Ma that not only did Zi Chuanxiu not die, but he also became the King of Light in the Far East, the feudal minister of the human race. ξ
Although Pei Ma begged the Great Demon God for his blessing, Yun Qianxue felt that even the divine power of the Great Demon God could not do anything about this matter: Zi Chuan Xiu was the Far Eastern Commander who specialized in dealing with the kingdom, and the meeting between the Protoss and him was simply inevitable. ξ
He said lightly: "Zichuan Xiu can't have only one. As our Protoss deepens, we will encounter thousands of Zichuan Shows. At this time, do you still think that humans can be easily conquered? βξ
Peima had a thoughtful expression. Yun Qianxue turned around and opened the curtains, the fiery red sun scorched into his eyes, and the rising red sun was as bright as blood. Looking down from the attic, thousands of soldiers were gathering in groups, and the black and green sea was pouring towards the west gate, and the queue of soldiers and horses disappeared neatly at the city gate. ξ
"Once an all-out war starts, either humanity will be conquered, or our Protoss will be wiped out, and there will be no other possibility." Yun Qianxue prayed, "Great Demon God, please bless the prosperity of my clan." βξ
In early April 784, the black-pressed demon army appeared west of the Valen Gorge, and the first target of the army was the Dama Province located at the exit of the Valen Gorge. ξ
Although the local garrison had been warned and prepared as much as possible, the 200,000 demon army was a terrifying force that could not be resisted. ξ
After being besieged for three days and three nights, and in the hope that reinforcements would not arrive, the capital of Dama fell, fifteen thousand defenders were killed, and the governor of Dama, Fanti, committed suicide. ξ
After the fall of Dama, the two provinces of Curry and Harada were also captured by the demons, and tens of millions of refugees fleeing the war flocked to the imperial capital and the territory west of the imperial capital for refuge, and the roads were crowded day and night. The vast majority of the fleeing people have not seen the demons with their own eyes, but this does not prevent them from claiming to be the most authoritative experts on demon issues. ξ
The streets of the imperial capital were full of fleeing people in earth-colored ragged clothes, who were full of terror, and told their thrilling stories of escape to passers-by, and the citizens of the imperial capital, who had not seen a war for many years, could hear bursts of exclamations. Naturally, the main thrust of the story is how they themselves managed to escape from the murderous demons, but they gave the impression that the demons were very powerful and invincible. In the face of those green-skinned monsters, humans have only two options: either flee in embarrassment, or die obediently. There seems to be no power in heaven and earth that can stop the progress of these green-skinned monsters. ξ
Despite the horror, the imperial capital did not despair, and the people still had their last hope. ξIn a moment of panic, a hero
The name spread in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, and when it came to him, even the most pessimistic people had hope in their eyes. The first general of the Zichuan family, a world-famous hero of the anti-demon clan, in the Far East War, he fought against a million demons in the head of Pai City with a lonely weak army, even the terrifying power of the Demon God Emperor could not make him succumb. ξ
His dazzling figure was in full view, and people shouted: "Sterling! Only he can resist the demons! βξ
"Master Sterling is still here! The family's elite unit, the Central Legion, is still intact! βξ
"Back in Pai, it was he who repelled the demon army! Now, he will be able to perform a miracle again and repel the demon invasion army! "Sterling, who is expected by the people and the country, is in a state of high tension at this time. The atmosphere in the military affairs department was quite urgent, and dense black arrows were everywhere on the huge map of the Eastern Theater of Operations. ξ
Intelligences poured in like a tidal wave from the front, and the frustrating words were repeated again and again: "lost", "surrounded", "defeated", "lost contact". Due to the movement of the demon advance detachment, the scouts could only bring back vague information from which the commander had to determine the enemy's next move, no less difficult than finding a toothpick in a dark room. ξ
On a frontline of thousands of kilometers, the demons seemed to have unlimited forces and squandered energy, and they launched attacks on five provinces at the same time, and easily besieged twelve well-fortified cities. ξ
The battle line is as complex as the masterpiece of the Impressionist painters, with red and black arrows entangled in a mess, mixing friend and foe. What especially puzzled Sterling was that the demons could attack from all sides like this, what were their intentions? Which is the main direction of attack of the demons? Are they strong enough to support five attack fronts? ξ
The senior staff officers of the Military Affairs Department were all summoned to discuss and study together, and more than a dozen of the best graduates of the Far Eastern Military Academy with more than one hundred and seventy IQs racked their brains to guess the thoughts of those illiterate demons. Everyone pondered and looked through all the military texts and past battle examples, but there was no reason why the demons were attacking from all sides so frantically, unless the demons' strength was ten times greater than human estimates. ξ
A staff officer with a swollen head in thought exclaimed, "I'm going crazy thinking about it!" βξ
Stirling was shocked, and he raised his tired head: "I think, we found the reason - the demons are crazy!" βξ
In fact, it is too much of an understatement to use the word crazy to describe the state of the demon race at this time. ξ
In the Valen Fortress, the clan leaders of the demon clan parted ways with Yun Qianxue, and after leaving the fortress, a dispute broke out again among the clan commanders. ξ
The 12th and 13th armies, dominated by Mongolian soldiers, attacked the southeastern provinces of Bit, Dugama, and Anqi in the southeast, which were the territories promised to the Mongols by the Demon God Emperor at the Imperial Council, and the Mongols hoped to fall into their hands as soon as possible. ξ
The Duke of Winkla of the Sixth Army, on the other hand, had a strong desire to make meritorious contributions, and several victories after his exit made him despise the power of human resistance. He believed that there was no need to dispatch the main force of the kingdom, and a few vanguard legions alone would be enough to sweep across the entire continent. He called for the continuation of the westward march and the capture of the great city called the imperial capital of mankind before the arrival of the Demon God Emperor, as a gift to His Majesty the Demon God Emperor to the Xichuan Continent. ξ
But Meng Khan had little interest in this glorious task, and he was like a Wenzhou real estate developer, just grabbing land everywhere. In a fit of rage, Winkla took the Sixth Army on his way alone. ξ
Although Winkla is alone, he has the army of the Demon God Kingdom behind him, and he is full of confidence. In addition, when encountering the demon army, human beings were extremely frightened: civilians screamed in panic, the army hid in the city and did not dare to come out to fight, and even once, a few lonely and lost demon soldiers of the Sixth Army scared all the soldiers and civilians of a small city to abandon the city and flee. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were stunned and couldn't imagine that there was another way to deal with these lonely demon soldiers besides escaping. ξ
All this fueled Winkla's arrogance, and he was even already worrying about how to speak to the head of the Zichuan family who surrendered when he entered the imperial capital. Do you comfort them with kind words or intimidate them harshly? Or just kill them all? If the leaders of the Zichuan family are all killed, then who will the kingdom negotiate with? Who will lead the remnants of the Zichuan family to surrender to the kingdom? ξ
"That's a tricky question!" Winkla sighed pretendedly, like a rich man wondering whether to eat bear's paw or shark fin for lunch. ξ
Stirling judged that the demons would take the shortest route to the imperial capital, and their next main attack direction would definitely be Oss Province. ξ
To this end, the Military Affairs Department is ready to face the battle. On 13 April, the newly formed Southeastern Army set out for the march, and Stirling himself sat in the capital of Oshang Province, where he was like a spider coiled in the middle of a web, carefully and cautiously observing the approaching enemy. ξ
A large number of troops were sent out to reconnoiter the movements of the demons, and the messenger quickly issued orders to the provinces, on the wide and flat avenues, on the rugged mountain paths, in the secret jungles that few people knew, everywhere were marching soldiers and horses, and everywhere were weapons, just like streams and rivers flowing into the sea, countless armies began to gather in Oss Province from all directions, and the first counterattack of the Zichuan family against the invading enemy was about to begin! ξ
On April 21, as Stirling had predicted, 93,000 members of the Demon Winkla Legion entered the territory of Ossen.
ξ
This is a magnificent army, the army array stretches for several miles, the sword is like a mountain, the gun is like a forest, the people are like a sea, the murderous spirit is like a rainbow, the war horse neighs irritably, the cavalry is scattered all over the world, and the army array is like a sea. Seeing that the demon army was at its peak, the defenders of Thundering City in the southeast of Oshang Province were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled. ξ
Winkla smiled arrogantly, and he waved his big hand: "We take Thundering City today, tomorrow we will take the capital of Os, and the day after tomorrow, soldiers, we will spend the night in the imperial capital!" Wine, food, beauty, gold and silver, there are as many as there are! βξ
Thinking of the legendary most prosperous city on the continent, the mountains of gold, silver and wine, the whole army clamored, and thousands of demon soldiers roared excitedly, and the sound was as straight as a mountain torrent and tsunami: "Imperial capital!" Imperial Capital! Take the Imperial Capital! Take the Imperial Capital! βξ
Not even an outpost, the demon army is advancing in front of the enemy, and Winkla is not worried that he will fall into an ambush - it is impossible to ambush and ambush in the plains, this is the basic common sense of the military. ξ
But when one side has almost infinite logistical and human resources, conventional military common sense is not enough. ξ
Within a week, the Southeastern Army mobilized 500,000 troops and 2 million civilians, and an astonishing number of soldiers and civilians dug trenches and laid out barbed wire positions in the vast plains day and night, building layer after layer of defensive positions. These fortifications relied on the dense cities of the plain, and the layers of trenches and earthen walls continued to the end of the earth, forming a huge defensive front. ξ
When the demons saw the boundless fortifications for the first time, the soldiers were dumbfounded: "Oh, oh, oh, it's spectacular! β
ξ
No one realized that a huge trap had arisen that almost led to the total annihilation of the Sixth Army.
At first, Winkla tried to bypass the human defenses, but the scout reported that the same continuous defensive positions and walls had appeared on the left and right sides, and the human army was so heavily guarded that they could not find a gap to leave. ξ
At this time, even the most stupid person will smell the conspiracy. Vinkla is arrogant, but not stupid. To arrange such a huge in-depth defense line, the manpower and expenditure required are astronomical, and it will never be possible for a local province to be able to organize it. It is obvious that the enemy has mobilized the whole country, and he wants to confront the whole country with a legion, and his own strength is insufficient. ξ
It took less than an hour to go from sensing the trap to making the decision to withdraw, and Winkla's reaction was not unpleasant, but Sterling was quicker than he was. ξ
On the evening of April 22, the human infantry appeared in the rear of the demons like a ghost, and unexpectedly took Thundering City, which was only guarded by a small number of demon soldiers. When the defenders withdrew, they had already made a trick, and the tunnels secretly led to the city. The death squad came out of the tunnel at night, killed all the demon soldiers defending the city and recaptured the city, and the pockets of the encirclement were tied tightly! ξ
Hearing that Thundering City was captured, Winkla had a premonition that something was wrong, and while sending a messenger back to the rear to ask Yun Qianxue and other demon clan leaders to come for reinforcements, he transferred his army and tried to break through from Hamamatsu Castle on the right flank, but the military affairs office of the Zichuan family had already prepared for this, and arranged a fairly strong reserve on the outer line, quickly reinforced Hamamatsu Castle, and then launched a counterattack from both flanks, and consolidated the encirclement defense line again. ξAfter a fight, the demon army not only did not break through, but the encirclement narrowed. ξ
In the following days, the demon army successively attacked several human fronts on the left flank and in the rear, but failed to achieve a breakthrough. No matter which point of the defense line the demons attacked, the cavalry mobile unit quickly reinforced the defenders of that point, while other troops attacked from the flank and rear to contain them, and while the battle was engaged, the engineer units continued to dig trenches and erect barbed wire fences 24 hours a day, and the human position was approaching step by step. ξ
Winkla thought it couldn't be more ridiculous: "The whole army is actually surrounded by humans on the plains? How is this possible! But relying on layers of trenches and fortifications, coupled with fast and mobile cavalry troops, human beings actually did this "impossible", and forcibly surrounded more than 90,000 demon soldiers of the Sixth Army on a plain. ξ
Failed to break through for three consecutive days, demons
The army is exhausted. On the fourth day, the Sixth Army had to move to the defensive. ξ
The two armies were constantly fighting and clashing, and the human army took turns to fight the demons, and they simply regarded this prestigious demon army as a training opponent for the exercise. ξ
At night, it was originally a demon world that was good at night fighting, but at this time, their advantage no longer existed, there were too many human armies, there were flags in all directions, a sea of people in all directions, and majestic military songs came from all directions, resounding in the sky, and the demon soldiers were afraid: how many soldiers and horses should there be! They didn't even have the courage to go on a night attack. ξ
All along, Wenkra has seen the scene of humans fleeing in panic in front of the demons, and it is only now that he finally realizes that as individuals, human beings are small, weak, and panicked, but if these weak and weak humans are organized, they will be reborn and burst out with incomparable power. The 10,000 demons are just the sum of the strength of 10,000 warriors, and the 10,000 humans who are loosely organized will undergo a qualitative change, they can divide the labor and organize, each perform its own duties, can invent sharp weapons, make strong armor, and make careful plans, so that the combat power will rise at a terrible speed. ξ
Humanity has a huge one
The army is highly disciplined, and this kind of high degree of close organization and connection is difficult for the unruly demon clan to achieve. ξ
The human being as an individual is a worm, while the human being who is organized is a dragon. ξ
The demons do not have the concept of scale logistics, and their food is all based on local plunder. After several days of high-intensity fighting and marching, the food of the Sixth Army was about to run out, and a week later, the army began to supply limited food, and the demon soldiers were so hungry that their eyes flashed green. Despite the order, some cavalry had begun to secretly slaughter horses. ξ
There were terrible rumors circulating in the army that a certain soldier had gone out of the barracks at night and never returned, and two days later his body was found somewhere in the camp, and even the flesh of the belt had been gnawed clean, and only a skeleton remained. It is also said that a certain detachment has fallen en masse, and that they have come out at night to kidnap the soldiers of other units who have fallen behind, tied them up and made stewed soup to drink. ξ
During the day, the demon soldiers looked at each other with wide green eyes, like two skinny hungry wolves meeting in the forest, drooling while looking at each other, afraid and greedy. At night, the camp was deserted, and the night watchmen on duty were gathered tightly together and did not dare to disperse: not for fear of a human attack, but for fear of being captured by their ghostly companions who wandered the camp in search of food. ξ
Everyone was in danger, for fear of being attacked by other troops at night, and the tents and detachments did not dare to sleep peacefully at night. Panic and despair seized the entire legion, and at this time, deserters who had surrendered to humanity began to appear in twos and threes. ξ Surrender to humanity and have a chance to live, if it falls into the hands of your companions, then the end will be miserable! ξ
Winkla was worried, the human race was under siege, and the morale and discipline of the Sixth Army were weakened and on the verge of collapse. Now, his only hope is that the other kingdom legions outside the encirclement will come to his rescue. ξ
He wondered: "It's been many days since the letter for help was sent, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" βξ
He didn't know that Yun Qianxue and Pei Ma had already led the legion to arrive day and night, and since April 27, they had been in a ping-pong battle with the human blocking force on the periphery. ξ
The 2nd and 11th armies of the Seneya attacked for several days and suffered heavy casualties, while the 12th and 13th armies of the Mongols were watching the excitement at all - anyway, it was the Seneya army that was surrounded, so Meng Khan was not worried. ξ

It should be noted that this game does not have a client, it is a browser game, and everyone enters the game to become a nobleman (three countries of their own choice) and have their first small village.
In the course of the game, you can obtain a steady stream of resources by building farmland, mines, etc., and you can get gold coins by selling resources, and you can improve technology, recruit soldiers, and build more cities.
And the other two evil countries (blasphemy and mercenaries in the world @_@), their nobles will keep sending troops to fight you - of course, it is also possible that you keep beating them, hehe......
In the game, you can also train your own heroes, build guilds, farm dungeons, and so on.
The biggest feature of this type of game is that it doesn't take up much time, and you can take time to play when you go to work, even if it's not online, the game is still producing resources.
Interested friends can go and play, I hope the Zichuan Empire is strong!
