Chapter 187: Fierce Soldiers
Zhang Ya's question woke me up at once, and it seems that arranging Zhang Ya to come with me this time is indeed a very good plan.
Although she usually has a bit of a big personality, her emotional intelligence is very high, and she used to be a versatile girl when she was the public relations minister in the company, and she never suffered in this kind of negotiation contest with others.
Her suspicion can be said to be straight to the point, indeed, this is the territory of the demon king, even if it sounds good, when the time comes, there will be a sudden reversal, and after we defeat the power of the ghost king, there will be a yellow finch behind, at that time we will really call the sky not the earth.
"The benefits I can give you are very limited."
Ouyang Tiedan was also very straightforward, and said directly, "I will never be able to use the power of the demon world to help you, I have no ambition, and I am self-aware, I can just take care of my one-third of an acre of land in the demon world." I will never meddle in your earthly affairs. ”
"But!"
As he spoke, it suddenly changed its words, "Yunnan is the territory of our demon realm after all, what I can do is that you are in this land, as long as you don't endanger the interests and safety of our demon realm, no matter how you toss, I will not intervene." And if the occult realm of your human world comes in and intervenes, you can even use my banner, I will give you a token of the demon king, I think, in the realm of Yunnan, my token can still play some role. ”
"As for things like rabbits and dead dogs, don't worry, I can't do that, I can't talk about friendship with you, but from the perspective of interests, keeping you is far greater than destroying you, that group of chaotic thieves can collude with a ghost king's force, and I can also unite a human force, which is beneficial to both of us, so I don't have to deal with you, besides, you don't have any other choice, don't you?"
After listening to it, I secretly admired in my heart, Ouyang Tiedan's words were not leaky, his thoughts were meticulous, his organization was clear, and every word went straight to the point, and he did not swear to talk about friendship or anything like that, but directly from the perspective of interests, the depth of his city and the weight of his scheming can be seen.
"Okay, we accept this condition!"
After hearing this, Zhang Ya responded, "But I still have one last condition." ”
"Speak!"
"Most of our current subordinates are demon soldiers who have been expelled from the demon world by you, no matter what happens in the future, you can no longer recall them or embarrass them, that is to say, those demon clan members who were expelled from the demon world by you, as long as they follow us, they will completely cut off contact with your demon world in the future, and they have nothing to do with it."
After Zhang Ya finished speaking, Ouyang Tiedan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you that in the future, as long as you are a member of the demon clan who was expelled from the demon world by me, you will have no contact with the demon world!" ”
After the two sides reached an agreement, they immediately stepped into another topic, Zhang Ya asked Ouyang Tiedan to give a detailed introduction to the power of this ghost king.
From Ouyang Tiedan's mouth, he learned that the power of this ghost king is not trivial, the number is at least more than five thousand, among which there are several ghost general-level masters, and the leader is a ghost clan member who is anxious.
The ghost clan mentioned here is not a ghost or a wild ghost, but a special creature, similar to the demon clan, and the appearance is similar to those demon members in the magic movie, I heard Long Xiaoman tell me some things about the ghost clan before, but I didn't expect to become my opponent one day.
The ghost clan is brutal and murderous by nature, it is a race that has changed in the mystical world, their hierarchical division is very simple, except for the ghost pawn, those who have cultivated to a certain realm have become ghost generals, and the power of the ghost generals is compared with the human occult world, which is probably between the third order and the heavenly order.
The one who breaks through the ghost general is called the ghost sect, in addition to the strength level, the ghost sect is also a title similar to an official position for the members of the ghost clan, and it has a high status in the ghost clan world, and the strength is the same as that of the human heavenly master, but there is still a lot of development after the heavenly level, and who wins and who loses depends on where the cultivation of the two sides has reached after the heavenly level.
Ouyang Tiedan did not break his promise, on the third day of our return, many members of the demon clan were inexplicably "expelled" from the demon world, and then we took a form and were easily incorporated into our command.
may be linked to Ouyang Tiedan's own interests, these members who were "expelled" from the demon world by it turned out to be a wolf demon with a full five hundred people.
According to the leader of the wolf demon, they are a secret wolf cavalry under the command of the demon king, and this time they have come to help us attack the demon king's forces by secret order of the demon king, and they are absolutely at our disposal.
I reorganized these five hundred wolf cavalry into a wolf cavalry battalion, and handed it over to Brother Earphone, who is good at attack speed, and the original leader of them, Wolf Ao, was the deputy general of Brother Earphone, and obeyed Brother Earphone's command.
Attacking the Ghost King's forces is not trivial, so we are not in a hurry, but have been preparing for this time for more than a month.
In addition to the wolf cavalry, I also divided the light and dexterous body according to the characteristics of the demon soldiers under my command to form a reconnaissance battalion, led by Hou Xiaofei.
Those who were large and strong formed a heavy armored battalion, led by Zhigang.
I reorganized the rest of the men and horses into two battalions, still led by Wang Hu and Zi Yan.
A few of us have debated about this matter, and my opinion is to replace the leaders of these two battalions, with An Xiaotian and Shangguan Chen in command, and Zi Yan and Wang Hu as their lieutenants.
However, Shangguan Chen rejected my proposal, saying that we should take a long-term view, and our power will continue to expand in the future.
Therefore, we must cultivate a large number of excellent generals, although Zi Yan and Wang Hu's cultivation is a little weaker, but the ability to lead troops and command troops is very good, if they are replaced at this time, it will definitely hit their confidence and make them feel disappointed, and it will be difficult to train them in the future.
Another point, the men and horses of Zi Yan Camp and Huwei Camp have been with them for so long, and they have already had a tacit understanding with each other, and they have also established their prestige in their own camps, if they suddenly change hands, even if Shangguan Chen and An Xiaotian are higher in cultivation than them, they may not be as handy as Wang Hu and Zi Yan in command.
I pondered for a while, and felt that what Shangguan Chen said was very reasonable, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get and one general is hard to find, I have to admit that Wang Hu and Zi Yan have very high potential in leading troops, and they are two rare excellent generals.
After some deliberation, I finally made the final deployment:
Zhigang is the leader of the heavy armor battalion, Brother Headphone is the leader of the wolf cavalry battalion, Hou Xiaofei is the leader of the reconnaissance battalion, and Wang Hu and Zi Yan continue to be the leaders of the Ziyan battalion and the Huwei battalion.
Shangguan Chen is the military advisor, Chou Nu is the vanguard general, and An Xiaotian is his deputy general, and when the time comes, these two will be responsible for dealing with the Ghost Sect with all their might.
The little mute is in charge of logistics and supplies (the demon clan also has to eat), and Zhang Ya and Long Xiaoman are my guards.
This made me laugh and cry, I originally refused the proposal, but immediately everyone insisted on it, and I had no choice but to let two women protect me.
Then there is the most important link, and the most critical point that determines the outcome of this war: the three thousand princesses.
According to Ouyang Tiedan, the number of ghost king forces stationed in Yunnan this time is at least more than 5,000, which is twice as much as ours.
Therefore, we must rely on the replication ability of the three thousand princesses Pisces Jade Pendant to multiply our number.
However, the replication ability of Pisces Jade Pendant is only a short ten minutes, so these ten minutes are the most critical factor that determines the success or failure of this time.
Moreover, it is no problem for the Pisces Jade Pendant to copy hundreds of people, but to copy thousands of people, it needs a powerful occult as support, and the current cultivation of the three thousand princesses is absolutely impossible.
So I arranged Qin Yue to be by her side, and when the time came, the three thousand princesses sacrificed the Pisces jade pendant, and then worked together with Qin Yue to input Xuan power into her.
The next step is the preparation of various supplies, food, grass, weapons and armor, etc.
I was almost crazy busy during this time, I didn't sleep much every day, and I was all struggling with these few things.
At this moment, I realized how awesome the generals who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in ancient times were, and now, more than 2,000 people have tossed me enough.
In the past, it seemed to me that it was very easy to lead troops into battle, riding a tall horse, raising my arms and shouting, picking up the guys and rushing over with a slash.
Now I know what a headache it is to lead troops to fight, and going to the battlefield to copy the guys and rush forward is only one of the links.
The things to consider before were very complicated, and none of them were as easy as fighting on the battlefield.
Thanks to the fact that we have developed well in the mainstream society, it is easier to solve the problem of food and grass, and there are little mutes in charge, so I don't have to worry so much.
The biggest headache for me is weapons and armor.
This is not a problem that can be solved with money, you know, now it is the 21st century, although we belong to the occult world, but we still live under the system of mainstream society.
There are very few demons with mysterious weapons, so they must be equipped with the necessary weapons and armor, otherwise rushing with their bare hands is equivalent to sending them to death.
You don't have to think about machine guns and cannons, if you move that thing, you don't need the power of the ghost king, it is estimated that we will be clicked by the mainstream society before we set off, and that thing is not as good as cold weapons in the occult world.
It's just that we don't dare to move the machine guns and artillery, but the big blades are as difficult to do, the victory or defeat of a war, the difference in the quality of weapons between the two sides is also a very big factor, you can't always send a watermelon knife to rush up, in that case, it is better to be bare-handed.
You must know that our opponents are not ordinary humans, and ordinary big blades really can't hurt them, so the quality of cold weapons is particularly high.
