Chapter 25: Raiders
The second military camp was set up by Chen Xiaochu in the future port town, between the settlement of displaced people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Looking at the newly teleported Han army soldiers, Chen Xiaochu was a little excited.
The clone army under his command has swelled to more than 1,700 people, and the army of replicants has also increased to more than 1,600 people, although I haven't seen the settlement army occupied by Zhao Yun in detail, it can be praised by Zhao Yun, and it will not be too weak in comparison, according to Zhao Yun, those 1,000 people are all converted from the clone army under the command of the original civilization seed, and there is no shortage of equipment, and then they were subdued by Zhao Yun and became the backbone of the settlement defense.
In this battle, Chen Xiaochu did not plan to mobilize the thousand people subdued by Zhao Yun in the north, although they already belonged to themselves, but the north was the territory of the nomadic system, although due to the undulating terrain of the mountain range, it was unlikely that there would be a large-scale invasion, but for the sake of safety, it was better not to draw them into this battle.
"It is more than enough to leave the Liaohua Yellow Turban Army and the private soldiers of Huangjia Village to defend the town, which can not only protect the safety of the settlement but also take care of the construction, I hope that Wu Fan can fulfill his protection promise and let the construction of the beacon tower not be in vain." Chen Xiaochu looked at the marching team and said.
This battle was no longer to defend against the enemy's attack, but to take the initiative to attack, in order to increase the speed of the march, the food was only carried for five days, and he tried to raid the mountain castle of Yamamoto Oura.
"With more than 2,000 mobilized troops, plus 1,000 mobilized by Airi and 3,000 troops, the settlement of Yamamoto Oura will definitely be wiped out from this planet in five days." Looking at Lin Wei who came to see him off in the distance, Chen Xiaochu muttered in his heart.
The march was boring, relying on the flat terrain of the coastal area, the army of 3,000 people was advancing slowly, with Zhao Yun as the vanguard, Chen Xiaochu did not have to worry about the safety of the march at all.
In the place where Bai Ma Yi has been inspected, there can be no danger of being ambushed. It's just that along the way, he detected the ruins of several settlements, which Chen Xiaochu hadn't thought of before, and those ruins couldn't tell which civilization they belonged to, "The intensity of the battle is much greater than I imagined, and many civilizations that I haven't seen before will be extinct on the day they get out of protection." ”
"Maybe Groh did it." Chen Xiaochu guessed that the nomadic attack's method was to gather all the forces of his tribe to attack a point of settlement civilization, so he could often achieve good results.
"Take all the food and tribesmen with you at any time, and fight whoever you want at any time, unlike our settled civilization that needs to disperse forces to garrison and defend in all directions, even if you take the initiative to attack, it also takes time to gather troops, which is why our Huaxia Alliance needs to build the Great Wall. The Great Wall does not hold back the nomads, but its role is to buy time and to gather forces. It's easy for a nomad to climb the unpatrolled Great Wall, but if there are 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 nomads, it's not as difficult as usual to get through the Great Wall. ”
"Imagine, to bring tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep across the Great Wall, how much manpower is needed to do it, the time spent will be a terrifying number, if the nomads do not cross but want to demolish the Great Wall, this is exactly what every settled civilization can not want, they lack iron tools to completely demolish a section of the city wall, how many tools need to be broken to do it, and in the time period of their demolition, the army garrisoned by the Great Wall has been assembled to attack, break a few holes and directly fill it, The Great Wall has a bigger role than many people think.
"The other members of the Chinese Civilization Alliance must have collected more information than me, it seems that after the war here, we must communicate with them and understand the detailed power pattern around us, and indeed only by uniting can we survive better." Chen Xiaochu left the ruins of that settlement and thought so.
"Airi, Yamamoto Oura's closest settlement to us is his port village, how about the mountain castle defenses attached to that village, most of the buildings are wooden like your mountain castle." Chen Xiaochu opened the communication interface and asked.
"The coastal mountain castle has average defense capabilities, and this time Yamamoto Oura was hit hard, so he probably won't deploy too many troops in that place, he doesn't have that kind of courage. You don't need to set fire to the city, you just need the elite of my retainers to take it. Airi said confidently, this expedition, the benefits for her are too great, not only the promise of the watch, but also a large number of replicants plundering wars, because of the different civilizations, Chen Xiaochu is not willing to merge those Dongying replicants who may cause public security conflicts into his own settlement, so this time Airi is particularly active, according to Chen Xiaochu's instructions, mobilized six hundred bows, and the remaining four hundred people, all of them are samurai wearing light armor.
"This man doesn't seem to be like the Romans, who turned replicants of different civilizations into slave-like beings, is it because of mercy, it's really incomprehensible in this world." Airi thought as he looked at the bright face on the communication screen.
"Let's hope the first battle will be a little easier, it's almost time to come." It had been a long time since the march, and Chen Xiaochu looked into the distance, on the coast of the horizon, a bulging mountain city, abruptly arranged on it. Surrounded by low, irregular cabins, densely packed around the mountain town.
"According to you Dongying people, it's called castle town, which means market and village, but those buildings block the way to encircle the mountain castle, and if I want to storm it, I have to tear down those buildings." Chen Xiaochu said quietly.
"Are you going to burn those buildings?" Airi asked tentatively, the attached building teleported by each replicant has all kinds of materials in the home, not only food and tools, but also more things, it would be a pity if it was burned.
"Don't think I'm cruel, this is war, I can't demolish the building in the rain of arrows, I just burned it with fire, I know that the people of the castle town, every time there is a war, they will be transferred to the mountain castle for refuge, you will get them." Chen Xiaochu said with a chuckle.
Turning off the communication, the scouts of the White Horse Yicong immediately rushed over and reported the latest information: "My lord, there is no one in the enemy city ahead, General Zhao asked me to ask for instructions on what to do next." ”
"No one?" Chen Xiaochu was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, Yamamoto Daura will not gather all his strength into a mountain city, am I overestimating his strength.
"Aren't there any civilians in it?" Chen Xiaochu asked the scout.
"My lord, my brothers and I have searched the entire enemy city, and the gates are open everywhere, and there is no one there." Bai Ma Yi returned from the scout.
"It seems that all the strength has indeed been contracted, you go and tell General Zhao to garrison this city for the time being, and bury the pot to cook." Chen Xiaochu ordered.
"No." After receiving the order from the scout, Bai Mayi immediately ran in the direction of Zhao Yun.
"Airi, it seems that Yamamoto Oura has been deeply injured, and even the harbor has been abandoned, so let's take a rest here. You send your troops to search this mountain city, this structure is more familiar to you than I am, and hopefully there are no traps. Chen Xiaochu communicated.
"He must not have taken advantage of other Dongying civilization seeds, no one supported him, and the troops were insufficient, so he gave up, but it is very strange that the people I sent out to contact other Dongying civilization seeds did not reply, it is estimated that he was intercepted by Yamamoto's cavalry team, I didn't expect him to see it so much." Airi replied with some annoyance.
"Didn't any of the men you sent out come back?" Chen Xiaochu asked with some surprise.
"Not a single one, I guess Yamamoto has planted people near their settlements, and the people I sent are likely to be killed." Airi said helplessly.
Just as Chen Xiaochu and Airi's troops stopped to rest, Yamamoto Oura, at the same time, received a report from the scouts that a force of 3,000 people was marching towards this place.
"This actually led the way for the other party to attack me." Yamamoto Oura said angrily, at this moment he was in his mountain castle base camp, examining the replicants who had been captured in the rebellion.
If it weren't for the fact that he had contacted Gerlo, who had contacted the Hungarian civilization, he would have been beheaded by his rebel army, but he was still sitting here at the moment, and it was the leading warriors of the rebel army who were bound.
"Takenaka Hanbei, this time I was lucky to let you run, see who will take you in, I won't let go of any of these samurai you messed up." Yamamoto Oura thought resentfully.
"Yamamoto Oura, give me a thousand slaves, I'll help you fight another battle, the old rules, the spoils of war are all mine, you don't have an opinion, let these samurai vent your anger, I'm already at a loss, I still want to continue to protect you." Gro sat casually on the floor, holding sake in his hand, and said with a sip of a drink, smiling evilly.
"Gro-sama." Yamamoto Oura immediately put on a smile and said: "Of course, our Dongying civilization still needs your protection, only under your protection, we will survive better, those opposing voices, I will extinguish them one by one." ”
"Shameless, the glory of our warriors has been lost by you, kill us quickly, or loosen our bonds, we will kill ourselves by disembowelment, give us a knife, we will disembowel." The bound warriors shouted excitedly, and the clone spear on the side immediately aimed their weapons at them.
"Shameless? It's the wisdom of survival, you know? Being protected by the strong and turning the strong into their allies is the way to survive in the Toei civilization, and the people of those castle towns survived because of my choice, so what reason do you have to blame me? Yamamoto Oura laughed wildly at the bound samurai.
"The glory of our samurai, the spirit of aspiring to respect the king and the king will live forever, and a daimyo like you, who surrendered to the barbarians, will not be supported by the samurai, so kill us."
"The king?" Yamamoto Oura drew his katana and slashed at the neck of a samurai with a wild laugh, blood splattered, "I am the king, you people just harbor some false memories, and you still want to die with dignity?" If you don't follow my orders honestly, all that awaits you is torture and killing, haha. ”
"Kill them, cut off their heads, and stick them on the road in the castle town, this is what happens to the replicants who rebel against the seeds of civilization." Yamamoto Oura ordered the gunashigaru on either side.
Dozens of spears stabbed at the bound samurai at once, a muffled snort and screams rang out one after another, and the blood gradually flowed all over the ground, spreading in all directions, the samurai's blood penetrated towards the stairs outside the door, and in the ticking sound of blood, the replicant Ashigaru who did not participate in the rebellion knelt down outside the door tremblingly, and a huge sense of fear lingered in their hearts, so that they did not dare to do anything against Yamamoto Oura again.
