Chapter 23: Calculation
In the middle of a lofty mountain in the Southern Barbarian Empire, there are no people in a radius of hundreds of miles, and an avenue runs through it, and on both sides of the avenue are tall and dense forest ancient trees, which shrouds the entire wide avenue of more than ten meters wide under the shade of the trees.
At this time, in the middle of this avenue, a tall and burly Terran youth stood horizontally on the avenue, and a powerful momentum naturally emanated from the burly body, enveloping the entire kilometer radius around the avenue.
This Terran youth was none other than Xia Fan himself, who had recently been promoted to the rank of guerrilla centurion by the Han Empire's military department.
After receiving the order from the military department, Xia Fan did not wait for three days, and on the second day he took his team of 100 people to the headquarters of the guerrilla army on the border.
Xia Fan knew that there would be no big mistake in arriving in advance.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the barracks, before Xia Fan and the others were familiar with everything in the guerrilla army, they were ordered to march into the Nanban Empire and carry out the assassination and ambush mission.
At this time, not only Xia Fan felt that something was wrong, but even Xia Fan's hundreds of direct subordinates also felt that something was wrong.
It was too compact and did not give people time to rest and adapt at all, which was a violation in the army of the Han Empire.
Although these soldiers had been ordinary soldiers in the Imperial Border Guards until then, as a soldier, they also knew that an army with a special mission, such as the guerrilla army, was sent to the battlefield without any relevant training, that is, to seek death.
But military orders cannot be violated, as long as they are soldiers, as long as they are in the army for one day, even their direct commander, Centurion Xia Fan, can only obey orders, let alone ordinary soldiers.
However, when the target of this mission was a barbarian field commander general, this field commander general had just returned to the front line from the rear of the empire, and after there were hundreds of guards, these soldiers were visibly relieved.
The barbarians of the Southern Barbarian Empire are a powerful clan inherited from ancient times, and the inheritance of the barbarians is one in the barbarians and the other in the priests.
And because of the general strength of the physical body, most of the inheritance obtained by the barbarians is the inheritance of barbarians, and they have a strong force, which can be called one of the top powerhouses in the Jiuzhou Continent.
However, like the characteristics of all races, the barbarian powerhouses are powerful, but they are generally not intelligent, irritable, and not easy to use, so they are not suitable for the position of commander-in-chief at all.
In war, especially in a large-scale war, as a general of an army, it is natural that their commanders need to have a high degree of intelligence.
But it is often impossible to have both fish and bear's paws, especially among the barbarians, a race with underdeveloped brains.
Among the barbarians, except for most of the barbarians who are physically strong and have been inherited by barbarians, there are still a small number of people who do not have a strong physical body, but they have strong wisdom and have obtained the inheritance of priests.
These priests did not have great military prowess, but they possessed great intelligence, had rich experience in warfare from ancient times, and were natural commanders on the battlefield.
Therefore, these barbarian commanders have always been the primary target of the Han Empire's military to get rid of them as soon as possible.
It's just that all barbarian commanders are hidden deep in the army in peacetime, guarded by many masters, and it is generally very difficult to assassinate them.
And now Xia Fan accepted the task of assassinating such a barbarian commander, a commander who had just returned from the rear of the Southern Barbarian Empire, a commander who was only guarded by a hundred barbarian soldiers.
Moreover, the cultivation realm of this barbarian commander is only the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm, so although the soldiers in Xia Fan's squad have a trace of doubt in their hearts, they are not worried, after all, their captain Xia Fan's record is there.
Unlike the doubts of his subordinates, Xia Fan already understood everything as soon as he accepted the task.
First of all, this promotion is not normal, and the military appointments below the rank of 10,000 commanders in the border army of the Han Dynasty have always been directly appointed by the senior generals in the army, and the military department does not interfere.
Xia Fan is just a hundred commanders in the border army, and his position should naturally be appointed by his direct generals, but now Xia Fan's appointment is directly issued by the Ministry of War, although there is no explicit provision, but this is absolutely contrary to common sense.
Second, the guerrilla army of the Han Empire was an independent military system, and its position in the army was far stronger than that of the border guards.
The guerrilla army roams the territory of the enemy country all the year round, guerrilla warfare, and strikes the enemy from the shadows.
However, Xia Fan's martial arts and moves that have been shown on the battlefield are wide open and close, which is the most suitable for tearing and killing on the battlefield, and Xia Fan's fighting style can be said to be completely opposite to the fighting style of the guerrilla army.
Moreover, the military department also took a 100-man team that did not have any combat experience behind enemy lines as Xia Fan's direct subordinates, and with Xia Fan's combat style and subordinates, they went deep into the enemy country to conduct guerrilla warfare, which can only be said to be an act of seeking death.
This is obviously someone who wants to kill people with a knife and get rid of Xia Fan by the hands of the barbarians of the Southern Barbarian Empire, and in the Jiuzhou Continent, there is only one person Xia Fan has offended, and that is Xia Houying.
Since offending Xia Houying in the forbidden land of the Blood Soul Battlefield, although he is not afraid of him, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, Xia Fan has also done some understanding of Xia Houying.
Xia Houying's life experience is a real second generation of officials and a son of a family, he is the descendant of Xia Houjia, the general of the three major kings of the Han Empire, Hou Wei, and can be described as powerful.
Obviously, with the strength of Xia Houjia, to influence the military department, the transfer of a centurion is indeed a matter of turning hands.
"It seems that some people are still unwilling and want to put me to death!" Xia Fan sneered in his heart: "However, you think that you can put me to death in this way, then you are wrong." ”
Although he saw through all the conspiracies and calculations of the other party, Xia Fan did not raise any protests about the arrangements of the military department and the tasks of the guerrillas.
Although Xia Fan is a student of the Han Academy, he is now a soldier, a soldier who has signed a three-year military service agreement with the military of the Han Empire, and this agreement is valid even in the Han Academy.
What's more, more than a year of cultivation in the border army can no longer give Xia Fan more help, and Xia Fan also intends to leave the border army and go to a more dangerous army to train, and the guerrilla army is such a place.
As for Xia Houying's conspiracy calculations such as killing people with a knife, Xia Fan didn't care at all, in Xia Fan's opinion, it was just to provide him with a better trial scene and huge military exploits.
And Xia Houying can only do this step, there is an academy card, and he doesn't dare to do it at all, unless Xia Houying decides to rebel against the Han Empire and betray the human race, in that case, Xia Hou's family will be the first to spare him.
Therefore, after accepting the task, Xia Fan rushed to this lofty mountain as fast as possible, preparing to ambush and kill the barbarian commander here.
This area is at the junction of the southern barbarian border and the inland, and there are few people in a radius of 100 miles, and if there is a battle, it is difficult for the strong barbarians to rush to the rescue.
"Boom, boom..."
Xia Fan didn't wait long, and the sound of hurried hooves like thunder came from afar, approaching Xia Fan's location at an extremely fast speed.
"Roar!roar!roar!"
"Boom, boom..."
Dozens of beast roars accompanied by rumbling roars came from the end of the avenue, and a cavalry composed of hundreds of barbarians appeared from the corner of the forest in the distance and galloped towards Xia Fan.
The mounts of these barbarian cavalry are as high as three meters, with dark green scale armor all over their bodies, and their huge heads are full of sharp teeth, just like the heads of dinosaurs that have been extinct in ancient times.
"Fight!"
