III-Chapter 12: The Alliance of Men and Demons
This is the territory of the lord Teng Yuanyi, and the military stronghold near the edge of his territory is about to be captured by the army of the Qizhu Vanguard, and the general defending the city is already very helpless, and the city gate was breached in less than a minute after the battle, and he still does not know how it was broken, because there are still thousands of enemy troops outside the city who are strangely climbing up the city wall.

Although this situation is weird, the defending side still has corresponding means, stone smashing, oil drenching, and burning, which are the most commonly used tactics of the defending side, but these methods have not yet had a chance to be used, and the city gate under the city has been broken, which is far more terrible for the defending side than the enemy on the city wall.
Soon, a white flag was raised from the top of the stronghold, making this war the weirdest and shortest to last. However, in fact, this was just wishful thinking on the part of the defending generals, because whether to surrender or not was not in the consideration of the attacking soldiers, they were only carrying out the order given by Wu Tianqi at the beginning: kill all the defenders!
When the white flag was raised, Wu Tian, who was watching from a distance, had already taken the little soul back to the chariot canopy to rest, and he didn't even glance at the city at all, so the outcome was already doomed, the first battle in the military stronghold of the city here was the first battle of Zhuxin, as for whether it was the last battle, Wu Tian had already handed over the power to Citian. Wu Tian only wants the result, he doesn't care about the process, as long as the result he wants is achieved, no matter how Jitian wants to do it, he does whatever he wants.
On Jida's side, in fact, he was still a little confused when he first took power, as the old saying goes: Princes and generals are better than others, but in fact, there is still a difference between a high-ranking person and a low-class commoner, and the so-called world view is different, and there will be a big difference between looking at a thing and doing a thing. Although the prince and general are not born, the environment in which the second generation of Quan lives is indeed something that ordinary people do not have. Just like now, Jida was originally rolling from the bottom to his current position, and before Wu Tian's authorization, Jitian was actually sitting in a very low position, so he didn't know what to do when he was in control of an army.
However, the innate environment does not, and the acquired environment can still play a role. After all, Jida has served in the army for many years, and he has seen how the leading generals command in peacetime, and Jida believes that his backer is Wu Tian, even if he does something wrong, the soldiers below will not dare to do anything. Wu Tian has already made it clear that he is the future emperor of the world, looking at what Wu Tian said, this emperor is more powerful than the lord, such a big man does not need to consider the feelings of the soldiers below at all, if you don't look at the current lord who does this, the lord can do it, of course he can do it, as long as he does not go against Wu Tian's wishes, he can do anything.
"Kill, kill, kill all!"
Jida shouted at the distant army as if he wanted to show his determination, and after calling it, he secretly looked back at the chariot behind him, and saw that there was no movement. Needless to say, he was really showing his determination, he was a few miles away from the front army, and he didn't think that the front army would hear his shouts. Not to mention the distance of several miles, even if it was shouted in the army, in the earth-shattering sound of attack, no one could be heard at all.
However, this time Jida was wrong again, he thought that the army in front could not hear it just from the ordinary situation, but now the situation is special, this army has just gained strength, and its body and mind and spirit are controlled by the "sword that deceives the sky" in the air, and the long sword is under the command of Wu Tian, and now Wu Tian has handed over the power to Jitian, so the orders given by Jida will be conveyed to the army through the long sword, which is not what Jida can understand now.
Just after Jida shouted, the front army shouted like a demolition of the sky, as if they were about to make a final sprint, completely ignoring the white flag that had been erected by the defenders of the city, waving the weapons in their hands, and cutting down people when they saw them, like cutting wheat, and the defenders fell in a pool of blood one by one.
"Fight!"
Just when the defending general understood that surrender was not acceptable, and let the soldiers who had to put down their weapons regain their weapons and fight to the death with the enemy, it was already too late, they were facing a demonic army, and now the defenders had the heart to surrender, and the morale that was left completely collapsed, and it could not play any role at all, and it was a problem to even stand firmly, let alone resist.
At the end of May 1923, the alliance of the six lords officially stopped negotiations with Qizhu, because the vanguard army of Qizhu captured a military stronghold of Teng Yuanyi's lord, and that's it, after all, the negotiations have not yet taken effect, the armistice agreement has not yet been reached, and any military action on both sides belonging to the state of war can be forgiven, but Qizhu's vanguard army slaughtered all 10,000 soldiers in this military stronghold, which makes Teng Yuanyi unable to understand. What's more, although the six lords want to be subordinate to Qizhu, they also need a minimum of respect between the monarch and the minister, not to mention that the six lords are only formally subordinate to Qizhu, and they do not intend to give up the power in their hands, Qizhu does this (they don't know that Qizhu can't control this vanguard army now), so that the six lords doubt Qizhu's sincerity, and suspect that Qizhu wants to weaken the power of the six lords too much, so as to completely exterminate them in the future.
For this reason, the six lords officially organized an army of 100,000, and even reached an agreement with the nearby demons at a certain price, trying to defeat the vanguard army of Qizhu, as for the capable people in the vanguard army, they were dealt with by the big demons who agreed to cooperate.
Teng Yuan's territory has many mountains and few lands, and although the captured military strongholds are relatively flat, there are still vast mountains on both sides of the narrow plain, which also provides convenience for demon attacks. Before entering the plains of Teng Yuanyi's territory, there was also a military city of Shanyuan Castle, although the mountains on both sides did not come closer to the two sides of Shanyuan City, but Teng Yuanyi built the Great Wall on both sides of the city, connecting the mountains on both sides, so it is said that capturing Shanyuan or breaking the Great Wall is the only way to enter the core of Tengyuan's territory.
"Your Majesty, we are confident that we can break through the city directly!"
Outside Yamabaru Castle, the Kiju Vanguard Army, or the army led by Jida, was encamped and was discussing what to do next. Before this, this army had never tried this, but in Jida's opinion, it was Wu Tian's patent, and he didn't dare to do this, after all, if he failed, although Wu Tian would come to the rescue, he would be disappointed in himself, maybe he would choose another candidate, and his dream of being an emperor would be ruined.
This time, the level of illusion used by Wu Tian was the highest, it was a permanent illusion, and the person who fell into this illusion would not know that he had been caught in the illusion, because the person who fell into this illusion would change from his heart. Now, the 10,000 vanguard army is completely loyal to Jida, and the leading generals have even called Jida His Majesty, which is the rhythm of ascending to the throne as emperor.
"Be careful, didn't the intelligence say that they were in the company of demons?" Although Jida had seen the skills of his own army before, he still had a fear of demons when he grew up in the Human Demon Continent, after all, Wu Tian had not taught him skills yet, and he didn't think he had the ability to deal with demons.
"The demon is coming, I'll deal with it!"
Jida's heart moved when he heard this, because it was the biggest general in the army who spoke, and now he was his strongest general, General Osaka. As the top general in the army, Jida believes that he should give the other party a face, although Wu Tian said that these soldiers will unconditionally obey his orders, but Jida still can't be as calm as Wu Tian, or from the way he has seen his boss handling the relationship between subordinates.
"It's okay to be a universal demon, our soldiers can deal with it, big demon, can the general deal with it?" Jida was still not very accustomed to being a talker for the first time, although his words seemed to be similar, but his tone was much weaker.
Of course, because of the illusion, the generals are Jida's absolute loyal ministers, in the absence of Wu Tian, that Jida is the eternal master in their hearts, their loyalty will not change because of Jida's tone, but they will feel aggrieved because of Jida's distrust, as a warrior can't hide his thoughts, so Jida also noticed that his doubts made this class of generals feel wronged, especially the general Osaka, don't look at him is not tall, but his strength is the strongest among the generals. The different officialdoms of the army, especially in the Human Demon Continent, the army relies on strength to speak, and the "Sword of Deception" is also infinitely expanded according to the comparison of the strength of these soldiers themselves, so the strongest is still the strongest, and the weak is still weak, of course, it is relative.
"Okay!" the generals just felt aggrieved, but in Jida's opinion, this is a matter of offending the generals, anyway, this battle must be fought, success will last a thousand years, and if you fail, you have to do a civilian job again, "The big demon is dealt with by the general, and the generals ......"
At this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the camp, but it was not because of any military situation, but because Qizhu had sent an emissary to the vanguard army.
"Messenger?" Jida was startled at first, then looked at the soldiers in the tent, "Let him in......"
Although Jitian has "turned back", since he is the old master in the past, it doesn't hurt to think about seeing what is going on with him, and by the way, to see if these generals are really completely loyal to him as Wu Tian said.
However, although Qizhu knew that the vanguard army was decided by Wu Tian, but the envoy he sent did not know, at this time, before waiting for the report, he had already walked in, and he was not surprised to see a group of generals discussing the matter, but when he saw that it was not Osaka who was sitting in the commander's seat but a person he didn't know, the envoy was very surprised, it seems that this envoy is very familiar with the vanguard army personnel, and he is a close confidant of Qizhu.
"General Osaka, the lord has sent me to give you instructions!" The envoy was not in a hurry to find out why there was an unknown person sitting on the throne, he had to give the will of the Pillar first, because he found that the vanguard army was stationed not far from Teng Yuanyi's military fortress, and it seemed that the situation was going to war, and the Pillar meant that he did not intend to go to war.
Qizhu was originally threatened by Wu Tian to accept the agreement to go to war, and the war also benefited him. However, Wu Tian's appetite was so big that Qizhu began to be afraid. If you go against the Lord of the World, even if you win, you may be punished by another punishment, such as the Wrath of the Celestials. Even if the gods didn't care about everything, this battle also offended the demons, and these made Qizhu afraid. And the fear from Wu Tian has begun to fade as Wu Tian is getting farther and farther away from Qizhu, after hiding in a place that he thinks is safe, Qizhu began to try to negotiate with the Six Lords Alliance, as long as he reaches a negotiation with the Six Lords, even if he can't become an emperor, Qizhu already has the territory of the three lords, which is already a huge territory.
"Instructions?"
Osaka rose in response, but it was not the one the messenger had seen before who stood up to greet him, but with a disdainful tone.
"Now that we are fighting for our Majesty, what authority does Qizhu have to give us instructions?"
"Your Majesty?" the envoy was stunned when he heard this, and then was shocked, "You, are you rebelling?"
The envoy is not alarmed, and the soldiers are marching outside, which is the most scruples, and for this reason, the families of the soldiers who go out on the expedition will be left by the lord to be by the side of the lord, so as to be safe.
"Aren't you afraid that the lord will kill your family?" the envoy asked the soldiers present in horror, and finally looked at Jida, who was sitting in the handsome position, but unfortunately he kept searching his brain and couldn't remember who this person was.
"Qizhu dares to move the families of the soldiers, and I will also bury his entire family with him one day!" Jitian, who was in the handsome position, hurriedly answered, his thinking was still at the level of ordinary people, and he couldn't let the soldiers betray him for any reason.
"Who are you?" The envoy finally couldn't help but shout loudly, although the generals of the former army mutinied, but the envoy thought that the soldiers still had the trump card of their families in the hands of the lord of Qizhu, and the people here did not dare to do anything to themselves even if they did not listen to persuasion.
"Zheng", Osaka's long sword was unsheathed, and the long sword in his hand stabbed the messenger without hesitation, the messenger was a civil official, and he didn't understand the words of fighting at all, plus he thought that the soldiers present didn't dare to do anything to themselves, and he never thought of dodging, the long sword pierced the messenger's heart so easily, and I saw the messenger's eyes widen, but life passed too fast, and he couldn't even say a word, so he could only stare at the ground softly, and his life was whimpering.
For this change, the soldiers are nothing, and they will do it if they are replaced, but there is a difference between the top and bottom, and Osaka should be allowed to make a move. On the contrary, it was Jida, who was first surprised by Osaka's shot, but he didn't expect Osaka to be so resolute, and he couldn't help but admire the horror of Wu Tian's so-called illusion, and now Jida has no doubts, and he is in a good mood, and for the first time he has a feeling of being on top, feeling that as long as he achieves Wu Tian's will, then he is the emperor in power.
"Okay, let's finish this battle now, General Osaka will lead people to deal with the demons, and the rest of the soldiers will capture Yambara Castle, and the problem of their families will be talked about after this battle!" In the face of the soldiers who were loyal to him, Jida still had to express his words, although he also believed that the soldiers would not betray him.
The soldiers were ordered to leave, and Jitian found Wu Tian as soon as possible after the meeting, Wu Tian had a special identity and lived in a relatively independent tent with Xiao Soul.
"You want to save their family?"
In the tent, Wu Tian closed his eyes and recuperated, while Xiao Soul held a long sword and stood aside, even if Jitian asked to see him, he was stared at by her vigilant eyes.
"Since the slave is their master, the slave wants to do his best. Citian was already under great pressure in the face of Wu Tian, and he couldn't help but lower his head and didn't dare to raise his head when he was stared at like that by Xiao Soul.
"I said, as long as you achieve my goal, I don't care what you do with the rest, in fact, as long as you defeat the six lords, Qizhu doesn't have the courage to harm the families of the soldiers. ”
Jitian heard the impatience in Wu Tian's tone, but he also got a reminder from Wu Tian's words that as long as he won the six lords, Qizhu would not dare to do anything at all, and at that time, Qizhu would only have to ask for more blessings for himself, and when the time came, he would have to use the soldiers' families as bargaining chips, and now he would never throw away the chips in his hands.
In the end, Jitian could only withdraw, because Wu Tian closed his eyes and stopped talking, and the little soul on the side even showed a chaser look, so that Jitian secretly glanced at it and didn't dare to say that he had to withdraw from Wu Tian's tent.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jida officially launched an attack on Yamabara Castle, and the attack pattern was still the same, without any siege equipment, only relying on the physical strength of the soldiers to fight into the city, and the fierceness was enough to make Teng Yuanyi's subordinate defenders fearful, because they had never fought such a siege battle.
As the "emperor", Jida naturally watched from the rear, but Osaka, as the supreme commander of the army, did not participate in the siege battle, because he had to deal with not the opposing defenders, but the great demons that would appear. The magic power of the big demon is powerful, although there is a limit during the day, but this only affects part of its mana, and it does not affect the battle, and the battle power is still quite amazing.
"Haha!"
Just as the fierce battle in front of him began, and Jida was also happy to see it in the rear, suddenly someone from the side was laughing, and in the laughter, a strangely shaped knife, not like a knife, sharp in front, but with a spiked weapon on the back, smashed down towards Jida.
"Bell", there was a loud bang, of course Osaka next to Jida didn't give the weapon a chance to fall, and the fact was that he had been waiting for the appearance of the big demon. That's right, it was the big demon who made an agreement with Teng Yuanyi who attacked Jida at this time. The big demon, the mana is monstrous, although it is limited by the day, but it is still powerful, so it was very unexpected to be blocked by Osaka's weapon, and he couldn't help but stand aside and look at Osaka strangely, he didn't believe that there were humans with such power in addition to demons.
The big demon has been able to transform into a human form, and he is tall and tall, and his appearance is also handsome and chic, but he doesn't know what his body is.
"It's not easy for humans to have such skills! But you must die today!" the big demon first praised Osaka, and then shouted at Jida.
After all, Jitian was born as a civil official, and he couldn't help but be frightened by the big demon, if he wasn't afraid of losing face in front of his subordinates, he would probably have to run away. Osaka originally stayed to deal with the big demon, but at this time, the main lord appeared, of course, he no longer hesitated, drew his sword to meet him, which gave the big demon a chance to get close to Jida.
"Kill you first!" "The big demon has never met an enemy in his life, and he knows that he can't get close to Jida without killing Osaka, and the siege battle in front of him is just beginning and is coming to an end, and in the face of the wolf-like Cida army, the defenders have nothing to do, according to the agreement, he wants to kill the leader of the siege army, judging from the scene, Jida is the supreme leader this time, so he naturally becomes the prey of the big demon, and to fulfill the agreement, he has to fight quickly.
Strange weapons are raised high, because of the daytime, the use of spells consumes too much magic power, and the big demons win by strength alone in daytime battles, but fortunately, the demons are born with a physique that is a hundred times stronger than humans, and humans are not opponents by strength alone, but they are afraid of encountering exorcists with high mana, so the big demons are still extremely careful when traveling during the day.
And Osaka, after getting the power from the "Sword of Deception", is also strong in strength, and he is even more happy to see the big demon fighting with strength, and he is not afraid of the identity of the other party's big demon.
The two of them had nothing to look at when they collided with each other, but it was a siege battle ahead, because Teng Yuanyi had the experience of being seized from the military stronghold before, and knew how the Qizhu vanguard attacked the city, so he first sealed the city gate hole, and the forty-meter-long door hole was all blocked with huge stones, and it was impossible to enter at all. On the contrary, it is a troublesome point to climb the city with bare hands, because the people of the vanguard are inserted into the city wall by hand to climb up, and it is useless to reinforce, however, the last time the people of the military stronghold broke the city gate and made the defenders unable to defend the city, and now the defenders have already been psychologically prepared to naturally be different, boulders, fire oil, and all that can be used are used, and it is also the best means to prevent siege, and it is also useful for climbing the wall.
However, this is only to delay the time to be captured, Jida's side is the key, as long as Jida does not give an order, Yamabara Castle will be captured sooner or later, from the beginning of the siege to the present, the attackers have not suffered a single casualty, and the defenders have been stabbed to death by the weapons thrown by Zheng under the castle, and the gap between the two sides can be seen.
Looking at Osaka's side against the big demon again, Osaka's desperate strength gradually gained the upper hand, making the big demon more and more impatient, and wanted to suppress and use demon magic under the scorching sun several times, but he gave up because he was afraid of the side effects, hoping that Osaka's physical strength was not as sustainable as his own and he would be defeated. The strength of the two sides is between Zhong Bo, even if he can defeat Osaka, the big demon does not dare to say that he can kill Osaka, he can only ask for the second, defeat Osaka, and take advantage of the chaos to kill Jida.
It's a pity that this time the big demon is also the wrong idea, because Osaka's power comes from the "sword of deception", in the future, when the deception leaves, the strength of these people in Osaka may be consumed due to physical strength, but now, the "sword of deception" is still in the hands of Wu Tian, and Wu Tian is nearby, the power of Osaka and others can be said to be unlimited, no matter how good the physical strength of the big demon is, it can't be consumed, seeing that the big demon's own physical strength is going to be lost, he finally wants to jump off the wall in a hurry, and use magic at the risk of being weak for a year and a half after the war. (To be continued.) )
