Chapter 36: The Battle of the Five Armies (Zisai Chapter)

In the desert of heavenly sin, bursts of hot wind writhed in the air, rolling up thousands of yellow sands.

A crescent moon hung silently over the desert, a white glow spilling over the earth.

In the distance, the red shadow of the sea of flowers of the Seven Nights turned pink in the moonlight.

Outside the Seven Nights City, tents were erected in the sea of sand, and the tents were all surrounded by a huge white tent in the center.

In the big white tent in the middle, four middle-aged men surrounded Shang Mingwu with serious expressions. These strongest human beings anxiously waited for the leader's orders.

Suddenly the shadow moved, and swept back like a storm of lightning. I saw that in the big white tent, eighteen black-clothed people appeared on the ground, all kneeling down on one knee, and replied loudly: "Eighteen people in the dragon group, see five adults!" ”

- That's the elite killer of the Demon Slayer Guardian Shadow Guard, a special operations spy. It is said that these people were selected from the "Shadow Claw" department of the Demon Slayer and the special assassination unit of the Demon Slaying Army. Everyone is an elite from among the orphans on the battlefield, all of them have amazing martial arts and are not afraid of death. The most important thing is that most of the members' parents and relatives were killed by the demons, and they have a stronger hatred than ordinary people.

And Mao (rabbit) Qingyang, who eliminated the demon guard, is the leader of this group of elites.

One of the men in black handed over a parchment to Qingyang, which contained information on the preliminary investigation of Seven Nights City.

Qingyang glanced at the parchment book slightly, and said loudly: "As expected, old businessman." Seven Nights of Sunny and Silver Broken Army have ceased fighting; In other words, the Wild Demon and the Nightshade have also reached a reconciliation. In addition, the demon clan is currently delaying the sword wolf and Huo boy, I am afraid that it is also intentional, and there are other plans. ”

Thousands of miles through the desert of heavenly sin to go to the seven nights, there was not the slightest hint of wind and dust in the eyes of the five masters.

Shang Mingwu asked coldly: "What the demon clan is trying to do is nothing more than to lure us to save people, and then catch the turtles in our urn and catch them all." ”

"Huh——! Damn, the demons' little abacus is playing well. Yin (Tiger) Shen Xie frowned and took the parchment from Qingyang's hand. A pair of tiger eyes, already faintly angry.

Chen (Dragon) Ye Feihong was worried: "Old Shang, the latest information from the Iron Beak Divine Eagle just now, the eldest grandson Long Qing and the Eagle Demon Clan have begun the second round of fighting, and they are still at a disadvantage - I judge from this that in half an hour, Long Qing and the others may have to withdraw their troops." After all, running thousands of miles, this person is not tired, and the horse is also tired. ”

Shang Mingwu was silent and replied in a low voice: "The eldest grandson's flying horses are all sharp in the world. He is good at long-distance raids, rapid raids, and large-scale detours and large-interspersed annihilation battles. However, once the war is deadlocked, the protracted battle will show a weak trend. ”

Qingyang held his chin and nodded: "You have to make a decision, old businessman." Whether to occupy Seven Nights City, or to rescue the eldest grandson, you hurry up and get an idea! It's been a long time...... I'm worried that when the follow-up support forces of the demon clan arrive, we are only afraid that we will be attacked on our backs. ”

"That's right, what Brother Qingyang said is. Old businessman, either send someone to help Changsun as soon as possible, and the two armies will become one army! Ye Feihong nodded noncommittally: "Or, we will take Seven Nights City as a stronghold." Then, quickly clean up the demons in the city. In this way, even if the reinforcements of the demon clan arrive, we will not be without danger. When the army arrives, we will be able to flank the demons in front and back and destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Shang Mingwu raised his thick eyebrows, shook his head and said: "Brother Shu has already given an order, and no matter who is in danger in the two pioneers, they are not allowed to send troops to each other's rescue. Then we have to act according to his deployment - trust his judgment. ”

"Oh! Lao Shang, is that what Lao Shuai told you? Ye Feihong's eyes widened in shock.

Shang Mingwu turned his head and saw Ye Feihong's shocked expression, and asked, "What?" Surprised? ”

Ye Feihong sighed: "Don't dare." If it means old handsome. Well, I'm right to trust him. What the marshal did must make sense. ”

Because: that military god never fights unprepared battles, does not fight uncertain battles, and should strive to be prepared for every battle, and strive to have the certainty of victory in the comparison of the conditions of the enemy and us. You just need to obey, accept, and execute unconditionally.

Shang Mingwu stood up and looked at the ugly (cow) Tie Shilei again: "Old Tie, what is your opinion?" Let's talk about it. ”

Tie Shilei didn't say a word, and shook his head: "No! ”

When he said this, outside the big white tent: twelve blue-clothed falconers knelt down on one knee outside the tent, each holding an iron-beaked eagle in their hands, and the leader said loudly: "Chief, the main force of the big marshal has entered the territory of the Seven Nights, and there are only one hundred and thirty miles left from here, and the old marshal of Geshu has made preparations for the capture of the Seven Nights City." ”

"Good!" Shang Mingwu patted the case a few times, and immediately got up: "Gather all the staff officers, and discuss the big tent-"

After a while, the big tent was full of people, and Shang Mingwu took out a piece of animal skin from his bag. At first glance, it is an old object, slightly yellowed.

When the soft deerskin unfolded inch by inch on the case, Shen Xie next to him suddenly blurted out: "My God, old businessman." This is...... Seven Nights City's fortification map! Result...... When did you get it? ”

Shang Mingwu laughed, and pointed his finger at a dense pattern on the deerskin: "This is thanks to our old handsome brother Shu, and thanks to the soldiers of our falconer troops!" ”

It turned out that Shu Hanbei, the old handsome guy in Mangguan, had expected that one day, the human soldiers and horses might pour out of the Mangguan, pass through the Heavenly Sin Desert, and attack the Demon Seven Nights City in a big way, and seize the Seven Nights as a new fortress, so that there is a strategic depth and buffer zone of 5,000 kilometers between the demons and demons.

Also, although there are natural dangers to be feared.

But even the strongest fortress will one day be breached.

Since the birth of human civilization, there have been various military defense lines, such as the ancient Great Wall, Tiger Head Fortress, Maginot Fortress, Atlantic Barrier, Bar-Lev and other defense lines, which played the role of blocking the invasion of the enemy. But there is no impregnable fortress in the world, with the development of technology and changes in the internal structure, a lot of money to build a fortress, known as impregnable, but in the end still lost its defensive role.

Therefore, the old marshal of Geshu ordered the construction of a secret outpost of Tucheng near the Heavenly Sin Desert twenty years ago, named Zisai. He ordered the falconer troops to raise the Iron-beaked Condor in Xiliu City, so that they could go deep into the Demon Realm and reconnoiter the sky above the Seven Nights City.

Now, twenty years have passed, twenty-three years and six months.

It's been so long that even the old man himself has almost forgotten it. And the falconer warriors have been in the desert of heavenly sin for twenty-three years for this day.

This is the most demoralizing state. But the kind of situation that Brother Shu Lao Shuai expected has not yet appeared. The division is old and tired, and the longer the time passes, the more scattered the army's spirit becomes.

Speaking of the events of that year, Shang Mingwu couldn't help but sigh: "The falconer warriors have worked hard for twenty-three years - sacrificing hundreds of soldiers and thousands of iron-beaked condors to draw this map........

A crescent moon hung silently over the desert of heavenly sin, and a silvery glow fell on the earth. In the distance, the red shadow of the sea of flowers in the seven nights was as red as a half-extinguished fire.

The neighing of war horses and the dancing wind of yellow sand; The wolf smoke rises again, and swears to break the seven nights!

That night, not many soldiers could sleep peacefully, and the young soldiers, sharpening their swords, were too excited to sleep. The older one, drinking wine, secretly prayed to survive the battle.

When the sun rises tomorrow, many of these wonderful men will lie down in this cold land, and thousands of miles away, there will be countless women's cries whimpering for endless nights.

On a cold night, I don't know which battalion has the sound of a flute, perhaps reminiscing about this ancient battlefield.

In this thousand-mile desert, what is buried is the corpse, the demon body, or the blood, is it the demon firefly?

Is it the dream of the Demon Slayer Guardian, or the ambition of the Lord of the Demon Realm.

For thousands of years, the flames of war have never stopped, and endless sorrows and cries have turned into silence.

Seven nights to the east, a hundred miles away. A large army rushed in, horses and men were silent, silent in the sand wind.

And in the west of the Seven Nights, a hundred miles away, there is actually a faint yellow dust rising!

But so that the vast Guan Fei will be, do not teach the magic horse to step on the ghost city,

Lu Yao is tired of wandering alone, and the success of the industry is always tragic.

Don't go out of the customs, only to see the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the desert of sin that day, but I don't know how many heads can be exchanged for an inch of land?

Only by defending the country can he enjoy the red color of the sea of flowers in the seven nights, and the demon has been waiting tirelessly for the return of another demon.

People have not returned, how many white bones are buried in the yellow sand,

If the demon is not returned, the demon body will eventually turn into sand.
