Chapter 50 Kansai Kansai
Since Wei Zeng defeated the Zhantu people who had gone south to invade the Kou two years ago, it has been difficult for the Zhantu tribes to unite with each other. At the beginning, because of the collapse of the dynasty, the Zhantu people wanted to occupy Mobei and even enter the Central Plains, so they would gather together to attack the south together.
However, Wei Zeng defeated 100,000 Zhantu rangers head-on, and Gucha swept across the hinterland of Mobei, causing heavy losses to many Zhantu tribes. The power has ebbed and waned, some large tribes have declined, some small tribes have risen, and the Mobei grassland has also fallen into strife.
Mobei is now in chaos, and the large and small tribes are fighting endlessly, and it is difficult to form too much threat to the Central Plains. Some small tribes that could not bear the war either moved far away to the bitter cold land in the north of Mobei, or went south to submit to various forces in the Central Plains to seek protection.
Wei Zeng made a detour to Mobei to attack Guanxi, and did not encounter much obstacle along the way. The name of the Mobei Flying Eagle is now very loud, and when the Zhantu people saw Wei Zeng's banner, they all avoided it.
It's just that the news of Wei's army in Guanxi made Zhang Ling, who occupied Anyun, a little uneasy. Zhang Ling decided to secretly be on guard and step up the development of his strength, in case Wei Zeng came over, he would not be caught off guard.
Chi Xuewen and Zhen Haocai came to the road and waited for Wei Zeng's arrival.
The people of the Xishan faction were reluctant to leave Yishan Feiying Village, so after Yanbei settled down, they all returned. Chi Xuewen brought back a large number of books, and enjoyed the joy of farming and reading; Zhen Haocai traveled back and forth to various places occupied by the Yanbei Rebels to carry out his money-making plan. In order to protect the safety of the people of the Xishan faction, Wei Zeng stationed an army near the Flying Eagle Village.
"Senior brother is going to attack Kansai this time, if junior brother wins, maybe we can go back to where we used to live. Having lived there for more than ten years, I still miss my old life. Zhen Haocai said.
"The junior brother is not going on this expedition to occupy the land of Kansai, but for one person, I just hope that the junior brother must plan well, but he can't be rash, otherwise it will be bad if something goes wrong." Chi Xuewen said with some concern.
"What friends can my junior brother have in Kansai? It must be that you are thinking too much. It is not easy for the junior brother to defeat the iron-blooded army, I think the junior brother must have sent troops to conquer Kansai. If my junior brother can successfully capture Kansai, I will have a wider scope of business and make more money. Zhen Haocai said beautifully.
"You don't just think about money, money, there are more meaningful things in this world than money, there is truth in the world, there is truth in the world, these are all things that money can't buy." Chi Xuewen said.
"Senior brother, you don't understand the joy of making money. From having nothing to having a lot of money, that's a happy thing. Is there anything more proud of being able to be rich and envious of others? Zhen Haocai said and couldn't hide his excitement.
"Don't talk about you, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it. Isn't that the banner of the junior brother? Let's stop arguing, let's welcome the junior brother. Chi Xuewen shook his head and said.
Wei Zeng did not receive much support for this expedition, so Wei Zeng's mood was not too good along the way. But seeing the arrival of the two senior brothers, greeting each other, and talking about some short things in the family, Wei Zeng's mood suddenly relaxed.
"Master and senior brothers and sisters are reluctant to leave Yishan, probably because they are also enjoying this freedom. Indeed, the outside world is too complicated, and everything is unsatisfactory. It is indeed a lot of fun to be able to live freely in Yishan. Wei Zeng said secretly in his heart.
Yishan Flying Eagle Village gathered thousands of people, and now the three villages are linked to each other and have evolved into a small town. Aside from the occasional attack by the Ringing Horses and the Janturs, life here is also very peaceful.
Now with the soldiers sent by Wei Zeng to guard, the people here can no longer understand the chaotic scene of the outside world. In their eyes, those conquests, those famines, have become strange stories from another world.
Wei Zeng looked at the satisfied expressions of the people in the village, and listened to the happy words of the people, and his heart gradually became peaceful.
"Senior brother, you are fighting in Kansai this time, you must bring Miss Feng back. I can tell she has feelings for you. At the beginning, in order to save people, she left with the Death Cultists, and I think she has suffered a lot over the years. The junior brother can't dislike her, and he must cherish this true feeling. Chi Xuewen said to Wei Zeng.
"I naturally know that I will never give up those who should not be abandoned." Wei Zeng replied.
"As for what Miss Zhen'er didn't say to you, it's not easy for me to make decisions about how my junior brother chooses. However, the junior brother must understand that whoever deceives cannot deceive himself. When making a choice, think twice. Maybe the results are not as good as you want, but at least you can't intentionally hurt others. Don't be impatient, and you can't break the jar. Chi Xuewen continued.
"I remember my brother's words, and I don't want to hurt those I cherish. If I could, I just wanted to be able to take it all down. Wei Zeng replied.
"Of course, don't embarrass yourself, it's best to go with the flow." : Chi Xuewen saw that Wei Zeng was in some pain, so he comforted.
So after a short repair, Wei Zeng led an army of 30,000 to leave Yishan and began to attack the death army in Guanxi.
The Kansai region is vast and mountainous, and in order to maintain the stability of the Kansai region, the Kansai military government maintains an army of 300,000 all year round. Since the Death Sect uprising, the Kansai Military Government has suffered a huge blow, and now the Kansai Military Government has left only a hundred thousand people under the command of one person.
After the failure of the attack on Tianguan City, the Death Cultists attacked from the north and south, putting the Kansai Military Government under great pressure. A large amount of land was lost in the north and south, and the main force of the Kwantai Army was compressed around Hesu Castle, and the situation in the Kansai Military Government was not optimistic.
Recently, the Death Sect has gathered a large number of troops around Hesu City, intending to have a decisive battle with the Kansai Military Government, once the Death Sect completely destroys the Kansai Military Government, they will march towards Anyun.
Fang Dayou's relatives led more than 100,000 people, which can be described as complacent. He always wanted to defeat someone on the battlefield, but he was not strong enough before, so he could only earn a little advantage by maneuvering with the Kansai army; Now that he is leading an army of more than 100,000 people, he can fight a head-on battle with the Kwantan Army, which is very happy.
"In a few days, I will be under the city of Hesu and kill someone, is there anyone in the sect who has more credit than me? To be able to get the appreciation of the Holy Son, several elders will definitely agree that I am the one who will become the law enforcement elder. Fang Dayou thought in his heart.
The Death Sect is divided into two types: missionaries and samurai, missionaries generally do not learn martial arts, but only learn the teachings of the Death Sect, and then spread around to attract more people to join the sect; The samurai, on the other hand, used force to practice their teachings, and by killing sinners, they raised their status in the sect.
Missionaries can become elders up to the rank of elders, and can participate in the decision-making of the Death Sect; The samurai, on the other hand, can become a black-clad holy guard at the highest, responsible for protecting the safety of the Holy Son and the Elders.
Although Fang Dayou has made great contributions, he is not qualified to become an elder as a samurai. After retrieving Feng Liansheng, Liu Yi nominated Fang Dayou as a law enforcement elder, but the senior members of the sect did not agree. In the end, a compromise was taken, first let Fang Dayou act as the law enforcement elder, and when Fang Dayou made enough contributions, he could be turned into a regular.
For the title of elder, Fang Dayou has been desperately making meritorious contributions to the Death Sect in the past few years. After capturing Hesu City, he will be able to become the first elder born as a samurai, and he can become the only elder born as a samurai in the Death Sect, which Fang Dayou yearns for very much.
"What's the movement of the enemy army in Hesu City, a certain person still has more than 100,000 troops, so he shouldn't shrink into the city like a turtle." Fang Dayou said.
"He's not just a turtle, I heard that none of his children are his own, and he should be a tortoise." One of the people around laughed.
When Fang Dayou heard this, his face turned cold, and he slapped this person in the face, and then said with wide eyes: "If you dare to say this kind of thing a second time, I will cut you." If you dare to insult the Son, you are tired of it. ”
This person covered his beaten face, remembered some rumors about Liu Yi, and didn't dare to say any more. Disgrace the Son, in the Death Sect, is a sin worse than apostasy, and it is a matter of great joy to be able to die happily.
"The Kwantai Army does not intend to hold the city, and a certain Ding'an Army has been assembled, and it seems that it is going to fight us in a decisive battle. I don't know if the party can make a decision. "The others don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, they just report the general's intelligence.
"It's nice to be able to go head-to-head with someone who is already an opponent and beat him, there's nothing more enjoyable than that. Ordering the three armies to assemble and move forward, we failed here three years ago, and today let someone know what it's like. Fang Dayou ordered.
The army of death, led by the main generals, approached the city, and the black armor of the conquest clothes stretched to the horizon, as if the night was pouring out of the ground, devouring the light on the earth.
A certain person had already assembled the Kansai Army, and in the face of the approaching army of death, he also set up a large formation outside the castle.
The Kansai sergeants held large shields and spears and formed a shield wall to defend against the attacks of the army of death. The crossbowmen in the back row also reload their crossbow bolts and wait for the order to shoot the enemy. The main force of the 30,000 Ding'an Army gathered around someone's handsome flag to protect the commander from harm.
"Hesu City must not be lost, Madame handed over the two children to me, and I must protect them. Although the Death Sect is gaining momentum now, my Kansai Military Government is not easy to bully. "A man is determined to defeat the army of death and defend the city.
The two armies were less than a mile apart, and the soldiers on both sides were nervous, and a great battle was about to break out, and the slightest negligence on the part of the soldiers could lead to death on the spot, and the slightest negligence on the part of the generals could cause a local rout. As the commander-in-chief of the two armies, a certain person and Fang Dayou both had the determination to win, and naturally allowed any mistakes.
It was surprisingly quiet before the battle, no invusing and taunting to each other, no cacophony of sounds, only the beating of drums, only the sound of advancing footsteps.
As a rapid drum beat sounded in the death army, the death cultists shouted loudly and charged towards the Kansai army.
