Chapter 774: Southern Ming, Eastern Tang, Western Qin, Northern Barbarian, and Middle Zhou (2 in 1)
"Oh! And set up camp! Xu Ding looked at the sky and felt that it was quite early.
It's hard to be discovered.
The scout then added, "There's no one behind them!" ”
Xu Ding said: "Then continue to monitor and look farther away, in case there is a large army behind you, it will be troublesome." “
"It's the lord!" The scout took the order and went down again.
Xu Ding said: "Then everyone rest first, if the enemy really doesn't leave, we will camp in front tonight and we will attack and encircle them at night." ”
It was dark until dark, and the other party really camped at the downwind below, and did not move forward.
Moreover, our scouts also said that there was really no enemy in the distance, let alone a large army.
This time Xu must be relieved.
It was getting darker, but in the snow, even though the sky was gray.
But the earth was silvery and cold with a cold glow.
The sight distance is not short.
Xu Ding touched it quietly first.
Seeing that two people were arranged to work all night in the other party's camp, Xu Ding didn't dare to act rashly.
Obviously, even if the other party is not a soldier, this vigilance also shows that he is a veteran of entering the mountain.
So Xu Ding waited for another half of the night.
In the second half of the night, the two vigilers began to take it lightly.
The duo sat by the fire, then began to be sleepy, occasionally chatting a few words, and then dozed off in a muffled voice.
However, when I hear that there is movement, I still cheer up and look at it a few times.
Then go back and rest.
It's too cold, and if you don't have enough perseverance, it's really hard to stick to the outdoors.
Therefore, it is necessary to have winter equipment here.
Thermal underwear made of silk protects the body heat for Xu Ding and others.
Xu Ding saw that the opportunity was not delayed, and quietly touched it.
He wears a snow outdoor camouflage suit.
It is mostly white and mixed with the snow, and from a distance, it becomes one with nature.
Soon Xu Ding touched the enemy camp, and he was familiar with this kind of thing.
The small and irregular camping is scum in the eyes of people like them.
"Click!"
As soon as the two enemies woke up, their necks were twisted with a huge force, and the entire central nervous system was broken.
Then his eyes sank, and he fainted from brain death.
After solving the two of them, Xu Ding glanced cautiously at the various tents.
After noticing that there was no movement, he beckoned to the north, and soon his subordinates, who were also dressed in camouflage uniforms, cautiously entered the camp.
Xu Ding commanded everyone with his fingers, and then surrounded the various camps in groups of three or five.
Xu Ding drew his sword and picked up a tent curtain, and suddenly a whirring cold wind blew in.
The sleeping enemy was woken up in fright.
"Who!"
"Poof!" The sword light flashed, and the man from the other world who had just spoken died in the futon.
The other two got up to get their weapons, but they were kicked by Xu Ding and collapsed to the ground.
Xu Dinghengjian pointed at the faces of the two and said, "Don't move, if you move, you will die!" ”
These two people were in pain to death, where did they still have the power to resist, so they could only hold on to the pain and rest and obediently be captured.
The men from other realms in the tent were also alarmed, but when they rushed out of the tent door, they were shot by the soldiers of the Donglai Army armed with crossbows.
"The people of Western Qin ......!"
Many people who were injured and not completely dead, and the men from the other world couldn't believe that Zhu shouted such a sentence, and then ran out of breath.
Soon, the entire camp was wiped out by the men from the other world.
In addition to the two captured by Xu Ding, there were four other captives, but they were more or less wounded by arrows.
They were all wounded and captured, and they behaved very hard.
After this group of enemies is eliminated, the team of 100 can finally have a good roast, eat some hot food, and drink some hot soup.
Xu Ding brought up the two captives he had captured and asked, "Tell me about your identity and the goal of entering the mountain!" ”
The two of them closed their mouths and pouted their faces and did not speak, Xu Ding smiled: "I can guess if you don't say it, you all have identity documents on you, who you are is easy to find out, entering the mountain is nothing more than one of you accidentally discovered that there is a big hole in the mountain over there, there is a bronze door in it, and there is a different world on the other side of the door......"
Speaking of this, Xu Ding didn't say any more, and he saw panic flash in the eyes of the two captives.
Obviously, Xu Ding was right.
However, they still had doubts and difficulties on their faces, and the corners of their eyes kept aiming at the equipment of Xu Ding's subordinates.
Then he reveals even greater confusion, as if affirming something and denying some speculation.
"It seems that no one wants to speak, so I don't mind killing you, after all, it's a waste to keep useless people." Xu Ding drew his sword and spit softly:
"Kill whom!"
The captives remained silent, but they were visibly frightened and frightened.
Xu Ding shook his head slightly and said: "That's it, it's up to you to decide who to kill, if you want to live the other party's death, I will help you kill the other party, and those who don't want to die can survive." ”
The two of them were slightly flustered, their faces became even paler, they looked at each other, hoping to support and encourage each other, and then tacitly agreed not to speak.
"Don't speak, it's good, it seems that you don't believe that I can kill, hey, why don't you believe it." Xu Ding said to one of the people beside him: "Since neither of them wants to die, let's kill two, you go and bring two other captives over, and say that because these two people refuse to make a decision, they implicate the other two." ”
"Whoa!" The men replied, and then did so, killing the two most seriously injured men from the other world on the spot.
The other two, two men from the other world who were not dead but were injured, hugged each other in horror.
Then he stared at this side, his eyes full of resentment.
"See? Now they reckon they hate you, and if you don't say anything, I'll kill one of them, and if you don't say it, I'll let the remaining one kill you both, and when I think he'll tell me everything I want to know! Xu Ding laughed playfully.
The two of them felt a chill to their bones, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
It's too ruthless, who the hell is this guy.
They have the weapons of the Western Qin people, but they don't speak with the same accent, but they are similar to their Southern Ming Empire.
"I'm going to kill one!" Xu Dingke didn't have that much patience.
At this moment, the two looked at each other, and finally spoke: "Wait! We say, we confess, we all say! ”
Xu Ding hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and then said: "Divide them for interrogation, if you don't say it right, then the two of you will kill together!" ”
"Whoa!"
The two captives took them to two directions, and Xu Ding walked towards the two injured men from the other world, and then said, "Do you see it?" Your companions have begun to confess to me truthfully, and when they have finished speaking, you two will die, and if you two will say something before they have made it clear, then I can heal your wounds. ”
The two wounded men glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with deeper resentment towards the two of them, and after a little hesitation, they both gritted their teeth and said, "Are you from Western Qin?" ”
Western Qin people.
It wasn't the first time Xu Ding had heard this term from the mouths of these men from other worlds, and it seemed that there was something bigger in it.
Xu Ding shook his head and said, "What Western Qin people?" ”
"You're not from Western Qin?" This time, the two wounded looked confused, and then stared at the crossbow in everyone's hands for a few times, and saw that Xu Ding and the others were mainly dressed in red, as if they had also confirmed something, so they breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Since we are not from Western Qin, we have nothing to hide, so you can ask directly if you want to ask."
Xu Dingdao: "I'm more curious, what are the Western Qin people in your mouth?" Let's start with this! ”
The two then explained to Xu Ding what the Western Qin people were, in fact, if they want to talk about this matter, there is a long paragraph to say.
Let's explain it this way, it turns out that the other world that Xu Ding came to is temporarily called the Dragon Teng Continent.
The Western Qin people, or these Southern Ming people, are all great empire clans in the east of the Longteng Continent.
There are actually four major forces in the east of the Dragon Teng Continent.
It is clearly the Ming Empire in the south, the Tang Empire in the east, the Qin Empire in the west, and the barbarians in the north.
As a result, there are Southern Ming, Eastern Tang, Western Qin, and Northern Barbarians.
And there is a small force sandwiched between the four major forces, which is called the Great Zhou and the Middle Zhou.
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is only half a province so large, once he was the center of the entire Longteng Continent in the east, and the Southern Ming, Eastern Tang, and Western Qin were actually born out of the Great Zhou Dynasty before.
It was only later that independence eroded in turn, and the combined attack divided the Great Zhou.
So Da Zhou has become what it is now, relying on the left and right sources to survive.
In order to avoid the threat to these three forces at the same time, the four major forces also tacitly let the Great Zhou be sandwiched in the middle and did not completely destroy it.
So the strange pattern that is now formed.
The Southern Ming Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty have borders, and there are friction wars from time to time, so they naturally have precautions against each other.
Therefore, when these people in front of them mistakenly thought that Xu Ding and others were from Western Qin, they were more defensive and resistant.
"In this way, this Western Qin's armament is very powerful, and it has its own merits." Only then did Xu Ding understand why the other party misunderstood them.
It turned out to be the reason for the repeater.
"It's not powerful, it's the most powerful, the people of Western Qin have two things that are strongest in the Eastern world, one is the law, they have the strictest and perfect laws, whether it is life or military war, they do things according to the law, so the people of Western Qin are very rigid.
The second is ordnance, their bows and crossbows can basically shoot a thousand steps away, and their power is huge, and they exist on the same level as our firearms in Nanming. One of the injured Nanming told the story, but when the word firearm was mentioned, he was obviously more proud.
However, Xu Ding and the others were taken aback.
The bows and crossbows of the Western Qin people can shoot such a step, and they are on the same level as the firearms of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they can be compared.
Is this still a crossbow?
The Donglai side bed crossbow may not be able to maintain such a long power output, and it must be accurate.
Obviously, there is no need for these Nanming people to exaggerate the weapons of the enemy country.
And it is precisely because of this that Western Qin can coexist with Ming and Southern in the East.
After all, firearms are as powerful as they are, and if the other party does not have corresponding weapons that can fight back or are evenly matched, it is impossible to become a big empire at the same time.
This time it must have opened up a little, and the world is getting more and more interesting.
So he went on to ask about the strategic weapons of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians.
This Nanming man told him that the Eastern Tang Dynasty was a powerful mage, and they could give armor or weapon inscriptions, which could enhance the sharpness and wear resistance of weapons.
The Beiban is relatively simple, they are real warriors, with an average height of more than two meters, all of them are large and burly.
Their flesh has been tempered since childhood, and is stronger than steel.
Some guns, slingshots, and crossbows can't be shot.
However, the biggest nemesis is the inscription and formation of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
It can often abuse the northern barbarians to die and live.
Of course, there is one main reason for this, the Northern Barbarians are not an empire, but the collective name of the other four countries, and there is no unified empire in the north.
There are many tribes, and there are many kingdoms, and they are fighting against each other, and they are not very united.
"The last question, does this belong to you Nanming or Western Qin." Xu Ding pointed to the ground.
Which power this mountain range belongs to determines Xu Ding's strategic plan for the future.
"This is not our Nanming chassis nor the Western Qin people, but belongs to the Middle Zhou, called Wanmo Mountain, which is the largest mountain range in the Middle Zhou Dynasty, in the south of the Middle Zhou Dynasty, bordering our Nanming and Western Qin." A Nanming man replied.
The site of the middle week.
That's good news.
The middle week is weak, and it belongs to a small country that survives in the cracks, so if something unpleasant happens, it is easy to settle it.
If there is a major conflict between the Southern Ming and Western Qin, it will be quite troublesome.
Soon the interrogation of the other two was over, and his subordinates came over to tell Xu Ding that the two did not tell a lie.
It's basically the same.
They are also from the Southern Ming Dynasty, that is, they entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the Middle Zhou Dynasty, and then collected materials and made money.
I stumbled upon the cave, and I was curious to follow the cave and found the bronze door.
Then he felt that there was something wrong with the stone wall that had been blocked, and then he used gunpowder to deceive it.
This was the result of the battle with the Donglai garrison in Pingzhou.
Finally returned, wanting to attract more people to explore.
In addition to these, they also revealed the basic situation of Mingnan, which was similar to what Xu Ding heard.
"By the way, the lord, they said that they also captured a tiger at that time, it is estimated that it was Wangcai, and when he carried it down the mountain, Wangcai broke free and disappeared."
Wangcai is Xu Ding's pet, a magical tiger.
"It's okay!" In fact, Xu Ding has always been very curious, Wangcai obviously arranged for him to be on the mountain, but he didn't find it in Pingzhou this time.
At one point he thought he had been wounded by a firearm and had died.
After a few days of turning over the circle of friends, there is no news of prosperity.
It turned out that he was really captured and disappeared into this Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
But it's good news, and I believe that Wangcai will find it soon.
The next day, Xu Ding had three captives taken back to the cave, and he took one of them with him, and then followed the man's guidance out of the mountain to the middle of the week.
Zhongzhou is rich and open, in the center of the four major powers, with developed commerce and a thriving population.
Although it was only half a province in size, there was no standing army in the Middle Zhou Dynasty.
There were only three thousand royal guards.
The entire empire has no Wehrmacht and cannot have a Wehrmacht, so it is an undefended Reich.
Because the Southern Ming, Eastern Tang, and Western Qin did not allow it to have an army.
Afraid of its resurgence.
After all, the wealth of the middle week is very attractive, and how cowardly it is to cut half like a leek every year.
If there is money and an army, it will inevitably pose a threat to the three empires again.
Therefore, when there is a war in the middle of the week, it is all about spending money to hire mercenaries.
You can ask for mercenaries registered in the middle of the week, or you can directly ask for the regular armies of the three empires.
Listening to the specific introduction of the Southern Ming people to Zhongzhou along the way, Xu Ding became even more curious.
The Middle Zhou Dynasty was weak in the army and strong in the economy, which was even worse than the Great Song Dynasty in history.
Although the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is in the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, the people of Nanming can come and grab resources casually, or even occupy it.
It can be seen how weak the middle week is.
But think about it, it was sandwiched between the four major forces and was not extinguished, and it can still hold on to the present, which shows that its culture is still quite powerful.
