Chapter 18: The Wind and the Clouds
Between the mountains and forests, a large number of Shura people are being driven to repair the bridges and roads that have been blown up in front of them.
A thin body, a pale face, a long whip waved from time to time, and then a fallen figure.
The demon general who led this team was called the Sky Thunder Scorpion, leading the soldiers of the cities under his rule, and along the way, he collected and drove the recruits and low-level untouchables forcibly recruited along the way for his own army to call.
To the east, the news that the Qing Demon Shuai, the Great Domain Lord of the Donghua Domain, had been killed in the distance, also reached the ears of the Heavenly Thunder Scorpion, making him secretly frightened.
The girl who killed the Qing Demon Shuai, the beheading witch, has already become famous since she defeated Di Yaoguang, the first general of the Demon Zhu Domain, and now, she has shown her strength to surpass the four domain masters in one fell swoop. And the news that she was actually from the Shenzhou Continent also began to spread, and thinking about it, no one in the Shura Realm had ever been able to cultivate to that extent...... She is not a person of this world at all.
How many enemies have already blended into the Shura realm?
In that world called Shenzhou, how many masters like her are there?
If it was before, the Heavenly Thunder Scorpion wouldn't care about these at all, no matter what kind of world it was, as soon as the domain gate was opened, it would immediately be trampled by the iron horsemen of the Shura army, and there would never be any accidents. A master of the other world? Army? Under the unstoppable tide of the Shura army, none of them are worth mentioning.
But now, he suddenly began to realize that they really knew too little about the world called "Shenzhou". How many people are in their army? How vast is their land? How many masters like that behead-cutting witch are there on the Shenzhou Continent?
Before, they didn't care because they didn't feel the need to know about it. And now, this unknown has caused unspeakable fear, and in the first two defeats, they have found a reason to comfort themselves, and the reason why they will fail is not because of how strong the enemy is, but simply because their side is mixed with the enemy's spies.
Now, they're starting to discover that it's not just that.
Gathering his army, the Sky Thunder Scorpion began to advance, and along the way, every advance made him tremble. Unlike the previous sieges, this war, it feels like there are enemies on all sides, in the mountains, in the forest, at night, at dawn, it is impossible to figure out when they will appear, and many times, even the shadow of the enemy cannot be seen, and they have already begun to be ambushed.
Rumble...... This time, apparently, there was an accident as well...... Or rather, it's not an accident for a long time.
The men and horses in front stepped on the mines, and the Shura soldiers in the rear drove the slaves, untouchables, and recruits in front with their spears. "Keep going! Keep moving! Such shouts rang out throughout the army, followed by shells falling like showers, and the army began to become chaotic.
The Celestial Thunder Scorpion began to roar, and a group of soldiers would rush in the direction where the cannonballs were flying, followed by exploding mines. The Shura soldiers did not dare to step forward, so they continued to drive away the untouchables they had captured, and even greater chaos ensued. The Celestial Thunder Scorpion began to realize that this time was different from the harassing enemy attack in the previous few days, and they had become the target that the enemy really wanted to kill.
Why did you choose us? The Sky Thunder Scorpion wants to figure it out, but there is no time! There were flying machines spitting black smoke flying in the air, and the explosive bags were thrown down frantically, and the exploded explosive bags burst out of dense marbles, and people turned on their backs, and blood flowed sideways. Of course, there are many masters in the Shura army, but in the face of this long-range or heavenly attack, there is almost no way.
The recruits tried to retreat and flee in fear, but were killed by Shura, who was enforcing the law. The rush towards the enemy's position was successfully carried out in the chaos, but the Huaxia soldiers, who had already occupied the high ground, fired rows of bullets. The Shura army began to break up, and it was at this time that the rows of armored war beasts took off their camouflage, spitting out shells while rolling forward.
A large number of Chinese soldiers advanced with the armored war beasts, and the guns rained down, destroying the last will of the enemy, and then they pursued and killed unscrupulously......
Two hours later, the Huaxia Army began to clean up the battlefield. In this battle, it was Gong Yue who led the troops. Born on the north bank of the Huang River, Meichuan Gongyue was once one of the leaders of the rebel army against the barbarians on the Shenzhou Continent, and was famous for killing seven barbarian generals in a row on the battlefield of various soldiers and horses counterattacking Haojing.
Today's Gong Yue is no longer the same as before, taking the lead at every turn, not because he has lost the courage of the year, but because the general army division has explicitly forbidden the behavior of the main generals in the army to rush to the front line. The use of guns and militarized management made this tradition of relying on individual force to boost morale unnecessary, and on the contrary, it was possible that the generals rushed too far ahead, causing danger and unnecessary hidden dangers.
After a quick count of the results, Gong Yue looked at the large number of captives who were being watched in the distance.
Although they were prisoners, in fact, these people who were captured were all the lowest people, and many of them even had chains under their feet, and these chains were not made by the Huaxia army who captured them, but by the Shura soldiers who captured them on the battlefield.
Although they were captured, at this moment, the faces of these "enemy soldiers" were more numb and helpless, no one spoke, and no one resisted. When fighting, they were forced to rush to the front line, and when they retreated, they were abandoned without incident, and they were obviously accustomed to such lowliness.
"General, what about these captives?" A soldier ran with a musket on his back.
"Bandage the wounded, give them some of our food, tell them that we don't want to kill them, and let them leave and not go to war again." Gong Yue looked at the "enemy soldiers" who were ragged and didn't even have the most basic armor on the battlefield, and said slowly.
"But," the soldier looked at as well, "let them leave like this...... They're still going to be caught, right? ”
That's what the commander-in-chief wants! Gong Yue thought to himself. He said, "Can't we take them with us?" Look at their own lives! ”
So, those Chinese soldiers began to treat the wounded, cut off the shackles for those people, and talked to them in a good voice, telling them not to go to the battlefield again.
"What do you think you're trying to do?" A Chinese soldier with glasses pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and patiently bandaged the wound on the leg of a Shura man, "The battle was lost, it was you people who died, and your wives and children who stayed in the rear continued to be slaves, and if the battle was won, you couldn't get anything, the land and property were all robbed by those nobles, and you still had nothing, why did you come to fight this battle?" ”
The man opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't.
So, the Huaxia soldier, who looked quite thin and didn't look like a soldier at all, continued: "Take this bit of food, leave, far away from the battlefield, in fact, we don't want to fight you at all, we don't want war at all, it's really you who want to fight us, we can't do it without fighting." On the battlefield, survive...... It's not easy, let's leave, don't come again. ”
After the Chinese soldier finished speaking, he left, and the man sat on the ground, looking at his severed shackles, at the bandaged wounds, and at his companion in the distance, and fell silent.
Huaxia's army has shifted so quickly. The captives who remained looked at each other, were not slaughtered, were not taken captive, and even gave them rations to their ragged clothes. As a result, each of them could not adapt to it.
"Let's go!" Someone whispered. So, everyone got up with difficulty and fled, and the man with the wounded leg also fled, but after only half a day, they were driven and concentrated, and it was not the "enemy" who drove them with knives and guns, but the Shura soldiers who came from the rear. A demon general scolded them angrily, yelling at them. The rations distributed to them by the enemy were robbed, and in the same way, no one dared to resist, and everyone was silent.
The man wanted to say something, but the fear in his heart made him unable to say anything. He remembered what the Huaxia soldier who bandaged his wounds said, he said, "Don't come again", he said, "We don't want war at all."
His throat began to clog, and he shuddered and stepped forward, trying to say something. "We ...... I want to go home! Beside him, another man burst into tears and said what everyone here wanted to say. Then the man was dragged out, and whipped and whipped so hard that he was drenched in blood and had no skin.
In front of them, the whip-wielding Shura soldiers laughed loudly, and each Shura soldier laughed, and their laughter suppressed the screams of the howls until the whipped flesh could no longer move, and became a blur of flesh and blood, and then, the demon would continue to shout slogans and shout for glory.
They were choreographed again, the man's wounded leg was shackled again, and they were pushed back to the front line, to the mines and shells that awaited them......
***
- "Take this bit of food, leave, far away from the battlefield, in fact, we don't want to fight you at all, we don't want war at all, you really want to fight us......"
Somewhere in the distance, Hua Xia Bing, who was wearing glasses, took out the note in his trouser pocket and read it again, satisfied with his performance just now. Something like that, he has said many times these days, not only him, but almost every company, there are several "ideological workers" like him, who are constantly doing the "ideological work" of the enemy.
The words that have been repeated over and over again are now "mourning their misfortunes" and then "angry with them".
"We are here for peace!"
"We use our guns to bring peace to the suffering untouchables and slaves of the Shura realm...... Mmmm, that's important, be sure to let them know! ”
The words of the Huaxia General Military Division are still in my ears, and it seems that although this kind of "ideological work" is being carried out again and again, it has not yet achieved much results. Hopefully, it's not waste...... The bespectacled Huaxia soldier raised his hand and lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
The war began to show a stalemate, and in response to the military system of the Shura side, the Chinese side fought with as many as five or six thousand people, as small as one or two thousand or even several hundred people. The spies sent by the Shura side are often quickly wiped out, and the large array comes forward, exhausted by the constant harassment of small corps, and scattered to fight, but because of poor internal cooperation, they are constantly divided and eaten by the Huaxia side.
Why was the other side able to do this? On that day, the Southern Imperial Demon's Southern Demon Envoy Yuanyang Poison met with the Western Imperial Imperial Demon Envoy Zhan Longwu and discussed with each other.
"That's not the way to go!" Yuanyang said poisonously, "If you go down like this, before you enter Moliao, our army will be exhausted." ”
Zhan Long Wu frowned tightly: "How many soldiers and horses are there on the side of Shenzhou?" Why do you feel that they are all over the place, even though they are on our territory? ”
Yuan Yang gritted his teeth: "According to the investigation, there are many poor people below, for a few gold coins and a little food, they went to be spies for the opposite side, and revealed all the situation on our side, and there are many traitors like this......"
Zhan Long Wu said angrily: "A group of traitors, these untouchables, are really as cheap as ever. I wanted to say something more, but I found that they basically didn't have much to do about this situation, even if they caught it in batches, I was afraid it would be difficult to catch it, so he said: "In this case, we just try to find a way to break into the opposite ......."
Yuanyang said poisonously: "How to enter?" The people on our side and the people on their side, even if the women look similar, the men know that they are different at a glance. ”
Zhan Long Wu said insidiously: "Aren't they trading and smuggling with those profiteers on our side in the dark? Send a few merchants and find a way to buy off the people on their side......"
Yuan Yang Poison looked at him depressedly.
Zhan Long Wu said: "What's wrong?" ”
Yuan Yang said poisonously: "I've tried, and at present, it seems that it is a little difficult to buy the people on their side...... It's all our side of the people who are being bought! ”
Zhan Long Wu was dumbfounded. Now they know that the system on the Shenzhou side is completely different from theirs. Here, the countries, territories, and cities are independent of each other, and many of their generals have their own cities and territories, and it is difficult to guarantee the least loyalty. On the other hand, it seems to be a top-down vertical management, and all the states and provinces are directly appointed by the power authority called the "imperial court", and it is indeed quite difficult to buy and infiltrate.
Yuan Yang Poison hesitated: "In this case, it is difficult for us to guarantee the chance of winning, the best way, I think it is better to temporarily retreat for a while and stabilize the situation......"
Zhan Long Wu said coldly: "Retreat? The Supreme sent us to recover Moliao, the Empty Desert, and the Domain Gate, and now we are still in the process of approaching Moliao, and we will retreat before we recover an inch of land, how can we go back and explain to the Supreme? How do you want to follow our subordinates to explain? ”
Yuanyang Poison couldn't help but be silent. This is an enemy they have never seen before, and they have felt this deeply at this moment, but the glory of the past does not allow them to retreat, no matter what...... I can only bite the bullet......
