The Great Xia Expedition marched on the mountain roads of the Nanyue Mountains, and it was definitely not an easy task to march at this time.

It's August, the weather is still hot, even if there are many trees in the mountains of Nanyue, the temperature is cooler than the plains, but if you travel a long distance, you can't go far, you will sweat all over, the energy of the whole body is lost with sweat, sleepiness and fatigue, dry mouth, sweat sticky, make people feel more irritable. When the army first set off, it was still very imposing, and the team was strictly organized, but at this time, the team became sparse, and many soldiers were untidy, eager to take off all their clothes.

Fortunately, the general soldiers were fine, in the rear of the army, some people dragged some wagons loaded with siege equipment, the mountain roads were narrow, and many siege equipment had to be disassembled for transportation, and the people shouted trumpets, tanned and sweaty.

As for the generals in the army, except for a few people who are strong in martial arts and very skilled in the use of Gang Qi, the others, although they are riding horses, although Gang Qi can play some regulating role, and wearing a suit of armor that is hot in the sun, it is still quite uncomfortable, and many generals simply take off their armor.

In the middle of the southern expeditionary army, some generals and elite soldiers surrounded a carriage forward, the carriage curtain was opened, and Fu Kaijiang, the generalissimo of the southern expedition, poked his head out, and he was also hot and irritable.

As the generalissimo of the expedition to the south, Fu Kaijiang originally wanted to ride on a war horse to lead the army, but he couldn't bear it after trying for a while, so he still changed to a carriage, even if he was sitting in a carriage with a roof and curtains to shade, he still felt uncomfortable. Fu Kaijiang couldn't help but regret a little, there was a military general in Yuezhou before, saying that this is not the season to send troops, Fu Kaijiang has been in the north, for the climate in the south just heard, thinking that it is already August, the weather should be cooler, so he insisted on sending troops on the grounds of the speed of the soldiers, he also wanted to wipe out the Lingzhou Brotherhood as soon as possible, made a meritorious service, and became famous all over the world, so that people knew that he Fu Kaijiang had to sit in a high position, not because of nepotism, but because he really had the ability.

Fu Kaijiang looked back and forth, and shouted at a military general not far behind the carriage: "General Song, how long will it take to cross this mountain?" ”

The military general is Song Shixiong, since he fled back to Yuezhou, Song Shixiong was unwilling, vowed to take revenge, did not wait for the imperial court to order, in the name of General Zhennan, recruited soldiers in Yuezhou, because of this, let Fu Kaijiang convene the army much smoother, Song Shixiong has a lot of elite generals, naturally Fu Kaijiang took a fancy to him.

"At the current pace of the march, we will have to walk for two more days." Song Shixiong rode close to the carriage and replied,

"Two days, ah......" Fu Kaijiang groaned slightly, the time of two days was a flash in the past, but now he has suffered a crime, and there is no way, he is really irritable to sit down, so he asked Song Shixiong: "General Song, how about the success or failure of this expedition?" ”

Song Shixiong thought for a while, and said with a little compliment: "The marshal acted vigorously and resolutely, marched quickly, and the marshal and the gentlemen strategized and set a perfect military strategy, with the thunderous momentum of 100,000 troops, the rebels have a firm foothold, and they will be difficult to resist, just wait for the army to arrive, and they will definitely be able to level the rebels in Lingzhou in one fell swoop!" If the traitor is still smart, he should bind himself and surrender as soon as possible. ”

Of course, Song Shixiong picked up a good thing to say, otherwise he would be wronged if he was accused of disturbing the morale of the army, however, Song Shixiong is not nonsense, the grasp of sending troops to sweep away the Lingzhou Brotherhood is indeed very large, and now Song Shixiong's middle road army has 30,000 troops, not including the requisitioned people, the small Guancheng of the Brotherhood, even if the ants are attached to the siege and fill it with human lives, it can be broken, besides, this is still just a way.

Fu Kaijiang summoned 100,000 garrisons from Yuezhou, Maozhou and other states, most of which were not high in combat power, but they could win by numbers. Fu Kaijiang also brought some elite soldiers and strong generals from the gods, and the number was not many, but he could be ten with one. In addition, when I heard that the imperial court had conquered the Brotherhood, many people who had a grudge against the Brotherhood also took the initiative to come to assist the southern army, including some martial arts warriors, strange people, and generals in the opposition.

The army of Zhengnan is so strong, if so, it is a pity that Lingzhou does not have enough to set up a battlefield of 100,000 troops, so it is to adopt the strategy of marching on three routes and attack the three largest cities in the Guancheng established by the Brotherhood. The reason why these three gates are chosen is also simple, only these three roads are easier to walk, before the pass, you can also set up the army, those small roads on the passes, not to mention the difficulty of attacking, even if you open up, the army is not easy to pass, even if people can pass, horses, materials, grain and grass can not pass.

Fu Kaijiang also mobilized more than 10,000 sailors in Yuezhou, so that the Yuezhou navy could land from the coastline of Lingzhou by sea, and even go directly to Lingzhou City along the crocodile river. How to resist?! Even if you can block one or two ways, can you block them all? There will always be one thing and the other.

"Well, that's true."

Listening to Song Shixiong's compliment, Fu Kaijiang nodded slowly, and also felt that this battle was nine out of ten, his heart was comfortable, and the stuffiness was relieved a little, and he was about to return to the carriage, when suddenly, Song Shixiong shouted: "Marshal be careful!" ”

Song Shixiong agitated his anger, blocked his armguard, and an arrow was nailed to his armguard, forming a layer of frost. At the same time, in the mountains and forests on the side of the road, some arrows were shot, some generals were caught off guard by arrows, and some generals who took off their armor were even killed by arrows.

"There's an ambush!"

"Be on guard! Alert! ”

……

Some of the generals shouted and stood guard, but the line of the army was too long, and even if it was ambushed, most of the soldiers in front and behind did not know what was happening, but there was some confusion.

"Where are the thieves!"

Several martial artists who believed in their martial arts skills rose up one after another and chased into the forest, and then, when they heard some fighting sounds, shouting and scolding, and screams, they soon fell silent. Some of the soldiers entered the forest, and only the corpses of these masters were found, and as for the attackers, not even a shadow was seen.

After that, on the way of the middle route army of the southern army, it often encountered small-scale nearby, and suddenly a cold arrow flew from somewhere, or a large stone fell, not only during the day, but also at night. Although the casualties caused to the entire army were very small, they had a huge impact on the morale of the army, making people panic and all the grass and trees.

Raiding and harassing the southern army, of course, is the mountain and forest troops under the brotherhood, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers are also involved, the various arrangements of each Guancheng are basically completed, although the basic strategy is to defend, but can not sit and wait for the army of Daxia to attack, the so-called best defense is to attack, the mountain and forest terrain of Nanyue Mountain, very suitable for ambush, attack tactics, no reason not to use.

Xiao Tianlei and a group of brothers who have a hero template should also give full play to the ability brought by the hero template, and cause as much damage and loss to the army as much as possible, even if the damage caused each time is not much, but a little at a time, it adds up to a lot, and it is also very objective, and it can also hit the morale of the army of Zhengnan. Another important factor is to earn more gold coins, the original system of gold coins, has a lot to do with the number of battles, every time you attack, you can get some, there are not many people, but, a dry brother combined, the number is also a lot.

Originally, some special senses and abilities brought by the hero template can greatly improve the combat ability in the mountains and forests, Xiao Tianlei and a cadre of brothers each lead the team, and the private chat system allows the team to keep in touch at any time, and can cooperate with each other, support each other, or gather, or disperse, attack and harass from different directions.

Xiao Tianlei and a cadre of brothers led the mountain and forest troops, after a series of training, in the dense forest, they are the best hunters, equipped with special jungle warfare equipment, wearing specially designed camouflage clothing, which is similar to camouflage clothing, as long as they hide in the dense forest, the grass is extremely difficult to find, in some hidden places in the mountains and forests, set up some secret strongholds, store some materials, equipment, can also be used as a hiding place, many places in the forest there are some camouflaged tree holes, holes and so on.

Not only in the Nanyue Mountains, but also in the Maoling Mountains north of the Nanyue Mountains, and in the Longya Mountains to the south, on the three roads, the three armies of the southern army were attacked.

In order to deal with this situation, Fu Kaijiang consulted with a cadre of generals and strategists, and sent some soldiers, masters and spies to investigate the surrounding mountains and forests. After that, several more teams were sent that were all composed of masters, and many of these people were also good at fighting in the dense forest, but many people were sent, and only a few escaped, either seriously injured, or mentally abnormal, shouting something "They are not people!" They are not people! ”

Such a result made Fu Kaijiang and others puzzled and a little chilled, and they didn't understand what the people who got back said, "They are not people!" "What does it mean, although it is strictly confidential, but the news still came out, and the soldiers in the army were a little frightened.

In fact, those who fled back were right, in a sense, those who ambushed these masters in the jungle could not be regarded as human, or beyond the scope of human beings.

"Whew......"

A wolf howl echoed in the dense forest, but it was not sent by a wolf, but a person, one of Xiao Tianlei's brothers, Lin Xiao, formerly called Lin Sanwa, after obtaining the hero template, changed his current name, Lin Xiao's matching hero template is a bloodthirsty werewolf, this hero template gives Lin Xiao a wolf-like sense, beyond ordinary people's vision, night vision, has a super sense of smell, once someone leaves a smell in a place, after a few hours, Lin Xiao can also distinguish, and track along the smell.

The hero template of the bloodthirsty hunter is suitable for hunting in the dense forest, and its wolf howl is not a simple wolf howl, but with spiritual power, which makes people listen to it and involuntarily have a sense of fear.

Of course, it is not Lin Xiao alone to deal with those masters, and the team of such masters often needs the cooperation of the team led by Xiao Tianlei's brothers to eliminate them in a short time. The dense forest is the world of Xiao Tianlei and others, even if these people have high martial arts, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, strong bows, and even gunpowder guns, most of them hang up without seeing their opponents, they may be good martial artists, but they are not the best hunters.

In the face of such an elusive, despicable, and very strange opponent, there was no choice but to slow down the marching speed of the whole army of Zhengnan, and while walking, a large number of people were sent to inspect the path ahead and the surrounding mountains and forests, but they did not dare to send people deep into the dense forest.

Even so, the situation was not entirely belligerent, and harassment continued to occur frequently, with casualties every day. Especially at night, in the surrounding dense forests, there is a seeping wolf howl or other strange noises, or a sudden fire in the camp, so that many people can not rest well, and there is also an incident of food poisoning, completely unknown how the enemy poisoned, if it is not found early, it is estimated that more soldiers will have to lose their combat power.

At this time, the other two roads also came from the harassed military report, for the generalissimo Fu Kaijiang of the expedition to the south, the situation could not be worse, originally full of confidence, but now has not reached the territory of Lingzhou, has suffered losses, there is no way, he can only strictly order to strengthen the guard.

As a result, the army of the southern army became more and more cautious, and the journey of two days was four days, and the middle route army of the southern army crossed the Nanyue Mountain, and at this time, the casualties in the army also reached as many as thousands, especially the wounded, which became a big burden, and the soldiers were tired and the morale of the whole army was low.

In a place a few miles away from the South Vietnam Pass, that is, the place where Song Shixiong camped last time, the middle route army of the southern army set up camp, and the first thing to do was to clean up the surrounding mountains and forests, occupy some commanding heights, repair the whole army, stick to the camp, and assemble siege equipment.

The transmission of information between the three armies on land of the southern army can not be transmitted anytime and anywhere like Xiao Tianlei's side, and the herald rides fast horses to transmit the message, and it will take a day or two at the earliest, as for the sea, it is basically impossible to contact, and can only wait for the military report of the navy.

In this way, another two or three days passed, during which except for some small-scale raids, it was also calm, and the other two armies sent military reports, and they also arrived before the Guancheng, but they were still demoralized because of the raids.

Guancheng is in front of him, Fu Kaijiang and a cadre of generals and strategists are holding back a sullen breath, but they can't attack the city rashly, most of them think that what the army needs urgently now is to improve morale, otherwise, with the current situation of low morale, if you attack directly, you can't play much combat power at all, and the best way to improve morale is, of course, a fighting general.

"Marshal, the boys of the Brotherhood are cunning and murderous, and I am afraid that I will suffer a loss if I fight them!" Song Shixiong persuaded Fu Kaijiang to do the way, but it was the lesson he received last time, and he must not underestimate the brotherhood, but his words were exchanged for the ridicule of the generals who were born in several gods with Fu Kaijiang.

"General Song was frightened by the Brotherhood, it can really be said that he was bitten by a snake and was afraid of grass ropes for ten years, haha!"

Song Shixiong's last defeat is not a secret, and the reason is clear to many people, it is nothing more than Song Shixiong's rash attack, and as a result, he was ambushed by the Brotherhood. Those military generals who came from the gods felt that they were superior, and they didn't look down on Song Shixiong, a group of generals from Liangzhou, and after a dispute, Fu Kaijiang still decided to send military generals to fight under the South Vietnam Pass.

Fu Kaijiang was also cautious, in order to win the first battle, he sent a brave and famous military general to fight, wearing treasure armor, holding a family heirloom treasure soldier, riding a beast-level BMW, majestic. If the defenders in the South Vietnamese Pass do not dare to fight, it can be regarded as a blow to the morale of the other side, which can somewhat improve the morale of their own side.

In the face of the battle of the enemy generals, Xiao Tianlei did not hide anything this time, and rode out of the city directly to meet the battle.

During this period of time, in the process of attacking and harassing the southern army, Xiao Tianlei and others were also observing the general situation of the southern army, although the victory or defeat on the battlefield often depends on morale, but the fundamental thing is still the fundamental strength of the enemy and us, the number of people, the number of masters, logistics, equipment, equipment, generals, and so on.

At present, it seems that in addition to some elite soldiers and generals, one of the major advantages of the imperial court's southern army is about a large number of people, however, their own side has mastered gunpowder and artillery, and it can be said that it has entered the era of thermal weapons.

The master is not afraid, Xiao Tianlei and the Yigan brothers are not vegetarians, not to mention the snow ape Nunu, and the golden ape Wukong who did not show up, they dare a few people to come to take the city, and the only end is to be besieged and killed.

The only flaw is probably the number of generals, the other party has a lot of generals this time, many of them have a beast-level BMW, the brotherhood side can compete with these generals, Xiao Tianlei and steel mane are naturally needless to say, in addition, the snow ape Nunu and Wukong, Zheng Biao with the black tiger Qi, and Wu Meng, every day to convey communication and cultivate tacit understanding, a while ago Wu Meng's Qianjun Bi became a beast-level BMW, Wu Meng borrowed Qianjun Qi's Qi, and his combat power increased greatly, in addition, the cold clouded leopard, Jiang Kui's fierce blood mane is estimated to be almost at the level of a foreign beast, but it is not a day's or two days of morale, and at present, his own side is still weak in terms of high-end generals.

It's just that now it's a city defense war, not a battle on the plain battlefield, and the role of the generals is also greatly weakened, even if the other party comes to fight, as long as you don't go, others can't force you to fight. Maybe using the ability of the hero template, he can fight with it on an ordinary war horse, and maybe he can win, if he is not completely sure, Xiao Tianlei does not plan to risk his brother's life.

Besides, if the generals are not numerous, they must have an advantage, otherwise, there will not be many stories of invincible generals in the history of this world. (To be continued.) )
