The white priest first found the Xiazhou garrison for help.

In fact, after asking Ma Xin to hand over the military authority of the Guardian Army and report to the Shenwei Army, the Xiazhou garrison was also on guard. At this time, they have assembled and attacked the temple.

The population of Xiazhou is not large, and the local garrison is only more than 30,000 people, and this time they transferred 20,000 people, which can be regarded as full of sincerity.

But don't look at the cathars who seem to be powerless when they attack the temple, but when they encounter the Xiazhou garrison, they are as brave as knocking medicine. Well, the effect of the magic blood is stronger than the medicine. After breaching the temple, the Blood God and the Dreaddemon teamed up to steal the divine power from it, which was able to provide more support.

Ma Xin beat 8,000 to 20,000, and he was stunned to beat the other party to throw away his armor and hug his head.

After this battle, the Xiazhou garrison lost the ability to fight in the field with the cathars, and could only hold the state to govern the Lingwu.

Ma Xin, on the other hand, went around slaughtering non-believers and sacrificing them to the gods to gain power. Although this method of violent plunder is a great attrition, it is the fastest reinforcement.

Hundreds of innocent people are slaughtered every day, and their blood feeds the cathars. Ma Xin forced a large number of Divine Cult believers to drink the blood of demonic energy and incorporated into the Guardian Army, and its strength was expanding rapidly.

The Xiazhou side could only ask for help from the nearest westward group army.

Xiang Ningxuan patted the case and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" We will send troops now and immediately kill Ma Xin and the blood god behind him! ”

Chen Yuheng said: "Yes. I originally wanted to tell you that the 1st Cavalry Division would be immediately transferred to Xiazhou to quell the rebellion, and there was no way to go south for the time being. ”

Xiang Ningxuan frowned and said, "Not enough." According to the White Priest, the cathars are forcing the followers to drink demon blood, and the current strength is probably 15,000 to 20,000. The 1st Cavalry Division only had more than 10,000 people, plus the remaining garrisons in Xiazhou, which was simply not enough to defeat Ma Xin's apologists in a field battle. I'll transfer the elite group right away, and kill this Ma Xin first! ”

Chen Yuheng said: "Will this affect the battle situation in Xianyang?" ”

Xiang Ningxuan analyzed: "The Qin army has strict discipline and rigorous tactics, and the only way to defeat it head-on is to use an upright army. We are now gathering forces for a decisive battle. The elite group takes advantage of it piecemeal, but it does not affect the overall situation.

"And although the Xiazhou Apologetics Army is not weak in individual combat effectiveness, it is not a regular army, and its organization and training are insufficient, and it is actually a group of rabble. Mobilize its forces with cavalry, and then I will lead the elite regiment to surprise and behead. If the fighting can be ended within half a month, we will have time to return to Xianyang. ”

"Is it too late for half a month?" Chen Yuheng asked. It's not the end of the day, and the blitzkrieg between planes and tanks is going fast. Even in the case of a blitzkrieg, it takes a year and a half to prepare for the start of the war, and there is simply no time to prepare for such a situation where the decision to go to war is improvised.

Xiang Ningxuan said: "The enemy is strengthening all the time, but their organizational strength is declining. To deal with this kind of guy, it is necessary to fight fast and slow. I immediately ordered the elite regiment to come over, and if the 1st Cavalry Division was ready, it would set off for Xiazhou now. ”

Shuvatu got up and said, "The 1st Cavalry Division can set off at any time!" ”

Chen Yuheng said: "Okay, you go and prepare." I'm like a General Staff briefing. ”

After receiving the order, the main force of the elite regiment immediately set off from Tongguan.

This time, they were flying in an airship, which was not as fast as an airplane, but had a large load. Three airships can carry 200 elite team members and their combat equipment and provisions.

The anti-gravity engine on the airship has not yet been mass-produced, it is all hand-built. There are less than ten such airships in the country, and only the elite regiment can be equipped with three.

It only took one day for the elite group to rush to the Xiazhou border and join Xiang Ningxuan. Escorting the transport fleet was not counted before, and such mobility could be regarded as the top rapid reaction force of the republic.

The 1st Cavalry Division has also been deployed in place, and a liaison team has been sent from Xiazhou to contact us.

A Xia Zhou staff officer said: "At present, the cathars do not know that we have arrived. Some of their troops scattered to the south to sweep, and some of them were stationed in the temple, but the main force of about 10,000 people drove to the tomb of King Xia, and they didn't know what the purpose was. ”

The Mausoleum of King Xia is the mausoleum of the emperor who established a separatist dynasty in Xia Prefecture in ancient times, not far from the capital settlement of Xia Prefecture. The remnants of the Xiazhou garrison were stationed here.

Ma Xin was sure that the Xiazhou garrison did not dare to come out to fight in the field, so he dared to arrogantly drive the main force of the army here.

"Humph!" Xiang Ningxuan snorted coldly, "No matter what the purpose is, eat these ten thousand people first." The Xiazhou army first lined up to attract the enemy's attention, and the 1st Cavalry Division waited for an opportunity to attack from the flank. ”

Although Xiazhou is a provincial-level administrative unit, its total population is not as good as that of S City, and its garrison commander is only a major general, and he needs to accept the command of Xiang Ningxuan.

The liaison staff officer smiled bitterly: "At present, we only have 20,000 people in our hands, and less than 15,000 people can fight. The apologists who had beaten the blood of chickens were infinitely powerful and fearless of death. One can fight three in the field. Ma Xin's strength is even more terrifying, no matter how he fights, he can't be killed, and he killed the three masters of our army alone. We now have a lot of troops, but the elite is almost completely lost, I'm afraid I can't bear it! ”

The Xia Zhou army was really scared, when 20,000 people went out, they didn't win against 8,000 people, and now they send 15,000 people to face 10,000 guys who have beaten chicken blood, I really don't dare!

"I'll go, I'm the commander of the Shenwei Army, didn't Ma Xin rebel because he didn't want to join the Shenwei Army? Send a letter to him, saying that I will meet him personally. When the time comes, you just have to press the formation behind me. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiang Ningxuan made a high-profile appearance in Lingwu, the capital of Xiazhou, and announced that Ma Xin was an evil demon lurking in the Divine Cult as the commander of the Divine Power Army and the envoy of the True God Sect, and his killing of the high priest was even more heinous. He was ordered by the oracle to slay down demons and at the same time called on all believers of the true gods to rise up against the demons, and all those who were bewitched and infected by demons would be forgiven if they immediately changed their ways.

At this time, Ma Xin still claimed to be a protector, holding the banner of gods, which was very demagogic. And there are a large number of true gods in the Lingwu settlement, and the apocalyptic environment has given birth to many radicals.

Xiang Ningxuan appeared with the crescent moon double blade and announced that Ma Xin was an evil demon, which immediately made people confused. That pair of crescent moon blades did contain the breath of the gods, and it was also a fact that Ma Xin killed the true god high priest, if he couldn't come forward to clarify, even the most fanatical disciples wouldn't dare to gamble with their lives.

At the same time, Xiang Ningxuan's letter was also delivered to Ma Xin. Regarding Xiang Ningxuan's provocation, Ma Xin's group of letters was surging. After all, refusing the conscription of the Shenwei Army is an excuse for them to rebel, and at this time, the commander of the Shenwei Army has issued a war letter, if he can't respond to the battle, wouldn't it be very faceless?

Under the encouragement of a cadre, Ma Xin, who has recently grown by leaps and bounds, burst with self-confidence, and said: "Okay! We're going to meet with the Commander of the Divine Might. ”

Only the terrifying demon who incarnated as a divine envoy had a cloudy expression after hearing Xiang Ningxuan's name.
