Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Great Army Sets Out (3)

Jiang Chen ordered: Without the permission of the military order, you are not allowed to act without permission to kill demons, and the demon beast materials obtained by the sergeants just now must also be handed over!

Of course, Jiang Chen's move was not to collect those materials, but only to show his military might. More than a dozen heralds rode on iron horses, shouting military orders loudly as they galloped through the army, conveying the orders to each sergeant.

However, the reactions of the Dao heroes after hearing the military order were different. Some Dao Heroes very simply handed over the demon beast materials they had just harvested, while others were a little reluctant, after all, this was a very commemorative trophy. Most Taoist heroes have a nonchalant mentality, just a trivial matter, it will not really be dealt with by military law!

Who knew that after a stick of incense, a chariot galloped across the army, and the military commander on the chariot announced loudly that Captain Wang was ordered to be punished by the commander for ignoring the military order because of his private possession of demon beast materials, and the military board was one hundred.

Wang Mazi lay on the chariot, and the two penalizers struck them with heavy slabs one by one, and there was a crackling sound. The circumstances of his punishment were clearly seen by the sergeants. Wherever the chariot passed, all the sergeants knew the reason.

Only then did the Dao Heroes realize that the commander's military order was not child's play. Once violated, even if it is a high rank like a captain, it will be punished in public, and if the hundred boards are beaten, I am afraid that those with solid bodies will be cut open and half-dead, and those who are weak will faint after more than half of the punishment. It's just a matter of suffering from the punishment, and such a military treatment like a public parade on the street is a loss of face. When this matter spreads, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by the Taoists for several years.

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, all the Dao Heroes handed over the demon beast materials one after another. This is the end of the matter. Acting in this scene, although it did not immediately make all the sergeants strict and united, at least it also made all the Taoist heroes understand that the military order is like a mountain and cannot be ignored.

That night, after the army was stationed, Jiang Wu visited Wang Mazi with the elixir. Although Wang Mazi had already hidden a thick cotton pad to protect himself in his clothes, and the two sergeants who were punished also collected some strength when playing the board, but after the hundred big boards were beaten, Wang Mazi was still full of flesh and skin, and he was not lightly punished!

Jiang Wu whispered: "My brother said that it is inconvenient for him to come to see you, otherwise it will be easy for other sergeants to see through this bitter plan, so let me visit you and thank you." ”

Wang Mazi said: "I understand that as long as it is useful, it is okay to suffer a little flesh and skin. ”

"There must be a use!" Jiang Wu said, "My brother said that according to the military book, if you cut off your head, the effect would be better - but he was reluctant to lose such a right-hand man as Captain Wang." My brother also said that what is said in the book of war is not necessarily true, at least it will never be mentioned in the book of war, and there are 100,000 Taoist heroes who have taken the initiative to join the Taoist army!"

Wang Mazi nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, at the beginning, Wang Mou didn't expect that a mere nameless boy with low Taoism would turn into a commander of 100,000 Daoist troops today! And he, the commander, is actually a decent person! The sergeant does not give up when he is in danger, and he does not compromise when he is threatened, no matter what difficulties he faces, he really dares to face it! Wang used to think that anyone being the coach was better than him, but now he finds that maybe he is really the most suitable candidate for the coach!"

"Especially when the Dao Court put pressure on the coach, the coach chose to bear it alone, and also dismissed the Daoist army to protect the Daoists. This act of morality happened to a teenager, and it is really admirable. 100,000 Dao heroes defected to the Daozi Army, all because they respected the boss's move and were willing to fight side by side with him!"

Wang Mazi was full of praise for Jiang Chen, but Jiang Wu shook his head and said: "My brother is dutiful as both a brother and a coach, but if it is said that 100,000 Dao heroes are all because of him, let alone me, even my brother himself does not believe it! If we fail to strictly enforce military discipline and understand military orders, it will be a great disaster! Therefore, the bitter trick performed by Wang Daoyou today is indispensable! My brother asked me to tell Wang Daoyou to recuperate, and he will definitely do his best to bring these 100,000 Daoist troops back to Xiliang County safely!"

On the fifth day of the expedition, although the march was slow, it finally penetrated deep into the wilderness of the northern valley. Jiang Chen arranged his troops, the main forces of the three armies marched slowly, and sent a number of vanguard troops to investigate the traces of demon beasts everywhere.

Since it is a Taoist army, the way of reporting military information is also more clever, not using fast horses to pass books, nor flying pigeons to transmit messages, but using rune paper cranes.

A forward team sent a message with a rune paper crane that dozens of demon beasts had been spotted ahead.

Jiang Chen ordered the team to chase after the demon beast, but they chased but did not kill. He wants the vanguard to follow the traces of these demon beasts, find the lair of the demon beasts, and then catch them all!

According to the information obtained by the forward troops, Jiang Chen then formulated the marching route of the three armies.

On the sixth day, Jiang Chen summoned the generals and generals of the left, center and right armies to arrange military affairs.

He unfolded a huge topographic map, on which every mountain path was meticulously marked. In several places, red arrows are marked, which are the direction and route map of the march.

"Please ask the two seniors of Tianyouguan Taixu Daoist and Cangxia Daoist to lead the army on the left road, march west for twenty miles, and then turn to the northeast, and march another hundred miles. Along the way, if you encounter a demon beast, you can only drive it away, not chase it. The Left Route Army is mainly in a hurry, and at this time tomorrow, it must reach the designated place!"

"Please lead the two seniors of the Wind Valley Lord and Xiao Jushi to lead the army on the right road, march thirty miles to the east, and then turn north, march seventy miles, and if you encounter a demon beast along the way, force it to the north. ”

"Ben Shuai and Han Banxian's predecessors led the middle route army and marched eighty miles north. ”

Jiang Chen said as he marked out the marching route maps of the three armies, and as a result, the final position of the march of the three armies happened to surround a forest.

"According to the investigation of the vanguard troops, this dark forest is the place where the demon beasts are most concentrated, and our soldiers are divided into three ways, that is, to surround the dark forest, and then launch a strong attack at the same time, be sure to wipe out the demon beasts and prevent them from escaping!"

"Tomorrow at noon, the demon extermination war will begin. The middle route army is the main attack, and the left and right second route armies are the main defense. The key to this battle plan is that the three armies must be in place at the same time, otherwise once the war begins, if one of the armies is not in place, the demon beasts will have the opportunity to escape. This valley north wasteland is vast, and if the demon beasts flee in all directions, it will not be easy to exterminate them one by one!"

"If you seniors have no opinions, please receive the military order and immediately send troops! Tomorrow, when the three armies meet, it will be the time when my 100,000 Dao army will win a great victory!"
