Chapter Eighty-Three: Ants in the Game of War

In the past few days, Xu Cheng and Ah Qin commanded a group of brave soldiers to capture hundreds of werewolves, in contrast, vampires are difficult to catch, because vampires who are flexible will only appear at night, and they will flee directly after a blow, and they will never be in love with war, even if Xu Cheng personally shoots, he may not be able to capture many alive.

However, after these days, Xu Cheng's personal prestige has reached an extremely high level, ordinary werewolves can only kill instantly in front of Xu Cheng, and the faint protective flame on his whole body made the soldiers once set him as the flame god of war.

"My lord, seventy percent of the soldiers have completed today's training mission, and the rest of the soldiers have either been killed by werewolves or are too late to fight, what are you going to do with them?" The person who inquired was Tredo, who was now the 'squad leader' of the 'experimental class' established by Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng was sitting in the camp at this time, there was a two-meter-long and wide folding wooden table in front of him, which was full of all kinds of parchment rolls, but he didn't go to see these parchment rolls, now the war has not yet begun, many things he just needs to nod his head to authorize, in his hand is holding a fluttering carrier pigeon, there is a small tube at the ankle of the carrier pigeon, the mouth is sealed with candle oil.

"The old rule is that the dead are recorded as deserters and buried on the spot, afraid of the re-warning of the battle, if they do not obey, they will be buried on the spot after the execution, and they will be regarded as deserters." Xu Cheng's tone was not unbearable at all, after all, he had seen too many corpses in the past few days, when he set off, a total of 10,000 troops were evenly divided into four troops, he personally led 4,000 infantry, and then the three troops were each commanded by a general, and every day there would be several dead lists with different handwriting on Xu Cheng's table.

The carrier pigeon in his hand was sent by Li Zhi, and he took out the small note in the tube, Xu Cheng wanted to see the message Li Zhi had given him.

The content of the note is like this: The current strength of the right wing army is counted and told me, about half a day, your troops will encounter an ancient castle of a vampire viscount, and fight the first battle, I believe in your ability, our troops are not close to each other now, remember to be careful. Finally, remember to place the armed forces of the route, take away at most half of the troops, and the rear needs a certain number of troops to defend.

These few sentences are written in a modern pen, which is extremely incompatible with the current medieval style, but for Xu Cheng, these words are like a clever plan, at least giving him a way forward.

In the past few days, the size of his troops has been getting bigger, and many local troops have prepared manpower and materials under the orders of the vanguard light cavalry passing along the way, waiting for the army from the national capital to pass by and then lead them to join the war, and many of them have joined the army of the Guangming Society.

Most of the troops of the Guangming Society are uneven, and the quality and quantity of equipment are far inferior to those of the regular army, but fortunately, there are many of them and most of them are not afraid of death.

He didn't know how many there were now, because every place he passed, armed forces of greater or smaller would join them, and the villages and towns they passed through added up to hundreds.

"Someone." Xu Cheng shouted: "Let the officer who manages the number of soldiers figure out how many soldiers we have now!" ”

The heralds waiting outside the camp heard Xu Cheng's order and responded and hurried to inform the corresponding officers.

After Xu Cheng finished speaking, he put all his attention on the parchment map hanging on the side, the yellowed map and slightly blurred handwriting not only showed that it was not young, but also represented that Xu Cheng needed to squint his eyes and look hard at the old man for a long time when he looked at it.

He looked at the sign on the map and found that they would meet a vampire clan called the Green family more than twenty miles ahead, as Li Zhi said, this vampire should be more powerful than the last time he met Baron Klan, it was a viscount-level vampire, and his biggest challenge this time should be this viscount-level vampire.

Xu Cheng ordered the entire army to stop resting and start advancing at full speed, striving to wipe out this Grimm vampire family tonight.

His orderlies were nimble with their hands and feet, and quickly packed up his large camp (a huge portable tent).

Xu Cheng got up and got on his horse, and behind him was a group of soldiers in armor, with Tredo at their head.

When the soldiers saw Xu Cheng, their eyes were full of excitement, because the soldiers now have word of mouth among the soldiers that Lord Xu Cheng is the god of flame war.

Everyone is looking at Xu Cheng with a kind of admiration, except for one person, that is Ah Qin, she has never laughed since she entered the army, Xu Cheng understands her, after all, Ah Qin doesn't like men is a fact, there are basically no women dangling in front of her eyes these days, if you want to change Xu Cheng is Ah Qin, she may be so cold all day.

Ah Qin drove his horse to Xu Cheng's side and asked coldly, "Do you know that there are women in the rear of the army who follow the troops along with the supplies?" ”

Xu Cheng really didn't know about this, and looked at Ah Qin with some doubts.

Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't know, Ah Qin's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he said a little angrily: "You as a commander don't even know that there are innocent women in the army who are forcibly used as military prostitutes? Ah Qin felt a fire in her chest as she spoke, after all, what she hated most was that women were ruined by men, let alone this.

Xu Cheng looked at Ah Qin helplessly, and beckoned to the fat officer who was following behind, asking him to come to his side.

"Fat fox, you tell me about those military prostitutes in the army." Xu Cheng asked the officer, known as the fat fox, with a frown.

"Uh... My lord, it has always been the default system of the army to march for a long time with military prostitutes, and it is something that King Ed personally approves. The fat fox said with some embarrassment: "Most of these women voluntarily become military prostitutes, and you also know that the world is not peaceful now, and there are ...... of family ruins and deaths every day."

"Then let me ask you, why did a little girl say yesterday that she was forced to become a military prostitute?!" Ah Qin coldly questioned the fat fox, apparently she went to the area where those military prostitutes lived yesterday.

Ah Qin's identity is noble, and the fat fox naturally doesn't dare to tell the truth, so he can only vaguely explain that such a little girl may have been sold into the army by her family.

Xu Cheng looked at the fat fox with sweat dripping from his forehead, knowing that the origin of this military prostitute was mixed, and he couldn't help but feel emotional. He patted the fat fox on the shoulder and motioned for him to step back first.

Xu Cheng looked at Ah Qin because he was angry and blushed a little, and suddenly felt that this girl was very pure in some places, she was not stupid, the basic attempt must be understood, the development of civilization in this trial world is still very backward, and it is normal to have a profession like a military prostitute, after all, there are too many displaced lonely women, and they can only live through equivalent exchange when no one takes care of them.

"Aqin... You may feel sorry for the women who have become military prostitutes and think that those women are miserable and need to sell their bodies to get food to survive, but which do you think the displaced women would choose between starving to death and selling their bodies in exchange for food? Xu Cheng looked at Ah Qin helplessly.

Ah Qin's face flushed angrily, she stared at Xu Cheng, but she never said a word.

Finally, Ah Qin's voice was slightly choked and said: "I don't need you to teach me, I know which one to choose, I just hope you can help those poor women, they are not born sluts!" As long as the soldiers were forbidden to torture and abuse them while doing that kind of thing, it would already help them a lot. ”

Xu Cheng felt that Ah Qin's spirit was a little strange, she seemed to be holding back the pain in her heart, which made him have another guess about Ah Qin's past......

Ah Qin finally held back the sourness in her nose, she saw the little girl who was only twelve years old at most crying and kneeling on the ground last night, her bony body and thin clothes (which she preferred to call a few pieces of rag sewn products) all showed that the little girl's life was not easy.

Next to this little girl sat several women who were also yellow-skinned, but their lives were better, because they could earn food for themselves in comparison. The women were comforting the little girl, whose mother, who had been ruined by a group of soldiers who had nowhere to vent after the war, had not held on last night, had lost her breath in the middle of the night, and had been hastily buried by the man who cared for the horses, without even a simple tombstone.

She decided to adopt the little girl! But she couldn't, she wasn't sure if she would be able to return to the source space alive, let alone if she would be able to bring the little girl to the source space. But Ah Qin can control the moment, she took the little girl to her tent to take care of it, no one will have a problem with this, those prostitutes who comfort the little girl. The woman will only envy the good fortune of this little girl.

......

The vanguard of the legion has reached the sight of the so-called ancient castle of the Green family, and it is already one or two o'clock in the afternoon, considering that the soldiers and generals of the vanguard legion have consumed a lot of physical strength on the march, Xu Cheng ordered the arriving troops to rest in place first, and then launch an attack after the arrival of the large army.

Xu Cheng was looking at a more detailed topographic map, which had obviously just been drawn by intelligence officers, and the ink marks on it had not been completely removed.

Xu Cheng looked at the topographic map with a headache, this map was a bit similar to the geographical map he had learned in his previous high school class, but many details were more inclined to actual combat, where there were woods, where there were small streams, and even some obvious holes were marked.

Viscount Naglin's fortress is very strong, judging by the size, it should be able to accommodate at least a thousand vampires, and it is surrounded by moats and watchtowers, which can be described as heavily guarded.

It was obviously an unwise choice for such a huge turtle shell to be gnawed outside, Xu Cheng felt that he should learn to outwit the protagonist in Weihu Mountain, after all, his strength would be very precious when he really fought.

Thinking about it, Xu Cheng looked at Tredo and a bunch of small soldiers who were following behind, and suddenly had a plan, he felt that he might really be able to learn how to outwit the Tiger Mountain, first send a group of sharp soldiers to the enemy, and finally come to the inside and outside, knock out this turtle shell, and then they will have the advantage in numbers, so how happy is it?!

Xu Cheng called Ah Qin over, stuffed Li Zhi's small note into her hand, and instructed her to immediately command the soldiers to rush into the castle as soon as she saw that she had lowered the drawbridge of the moat.

Ah Qin was taking care of the little girl in the tent before, and felt a little confused about the power and heavy responsibility that was suddenly handed over to him, but he still wrote down Xu Cheng's entrustment and put away Li Zhi's note.

Green Castle is located in a huge mountain col, and most of the castle is blocked by mountains on all sides, and the areas that are not blocked by mountains are enclosed by high walls.
