Chapter 3 Raising the Might of the Two Armies
Glancing at the sailor, Lin Ding was slightly surprised.
All the while, it was the one-armed man who spoke, the other kidnappers were silent, and the sailors were as silent as wooden statues, working without squinting. This time, the sailor suddenly interjected and questioned, which seemed very abrupt.
Strange in his heart, Lin Ding replied quickly: "I don't know about this......"
The sailor continued to ask: "Has the military always had a tense relationship with Lin Rui in peacetime? Is it possible that the military will oppose Lin Rui's succession?"
"Lin Rui's relationship with the military has always been quite good. It is impossible for him to purge the military for this reason. As for opposing Lin Rui's succession to the throne -- the military is not capable of this at all!"
"Why?"
Lin Ding showed a disdainful smile, as if the other party had said something very ignorant: "The position of the Heqiu army in the state power is very low. We are completely different from the Zichuan family, such as the Zichuan family's command office, five of the seven members of the command office are military leaders, and only the staff leaders and presidential leaders are civilians, and military generals can have great privileges. But the river hills are different. In the last years of the Bright Empire, the betrayal of the generals Zichuan and Liufeng who controlled the army led to the final collapse of the empire, because of this experience, we believe that the warriors are rude and fickle, and must not be trusted. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Heqiu has been consciously emphasizing civilians over military force, cultivating a powerful civilian-bureaucratic group to suppress the military's power, and placing numerous military jǐng cha in the security hall to monitor the movements of military generals. Just like our Council of Elders, the three elders are all civilians, even the military elders who are also the head of the Security Agency are also civilian officials, and many military generals must act under the orders of the Council of Elders. Traditionally, the status of army generals has been very low, and in the political structure at the highest level, they have no opportunity to speak at all. They can only stand out if they are attached to a strong elder. As for preventing Lin Rui from succeeding to the throne -- this kind of thing would not even dare to dream of it! Since Lin Rui's succession was confirmed within the Council of Elders, the military didn't know how much they had to deal with Lin Rui, and the generals ran one after another to swear allegiance to Lin Rui, eager to help Lin Rui brush his shoes!"
There was a deep hatred in Lin Ding's words, and the other party immediately noticed: "Do you hate Lin Rui because you lost to him in the competition?"
His face was heavy, and Lin Ding was silent for a while before he spoke: "If I don't mind Lin Rui at all, it's impossible." I really don't have anything to say about losing to him that time. Looking back, his talent and courage are indeed stronger than mine, and more importantly, he is even better than me. That time I let the wind and frost go, and not only did he not fall into the trap, but he also stepped in to help me deal with the aftermath - but for some reason, I just didn't have a good opinion of him. This person, on the surface, is bright and upright, but secretly, his methods are very yīn. ”
Or did the little sailor ask: "What is the purpose of the coup?"
"I don't know ......"
"Who is in the hands of the current Lin regime?"
"The Council of Elders—or more accurately, in the hands of Lin Rui. ”
"Do you know what happened to Lieutenant General Lin Yunfei?"
Hearing the question, Lin Ding slowly raised his head: "Vice Admiral Lin Yunfei, former commander of the First Fleet of the Navy?"
Looking at the sailor who was questioning, Lin Ding's eyes flickered, and his eyes were deep. Contrary to the fear just now, at this moment, he seems to have regained a little bit of the demeanor of the regent elder of the Lin family back then.
Facing his sharp gaze, the little sailor turned his face a little jealously, as if he did not dare to meet his gaze head-on.
He repeated the question: "How did Lin Yunfei die? Who killed him?"
"At present, it is a critical time for the decisive battle with the demons, but Your Highness the Marshal, you have the leisure to play this kind of joke with me, it is too ...... Alas...... It's so nonsense. ”
"You!" the little sailor was shocked and took a step back.
Several kidnappers looked fierce, pulled out their daggers, and surrounded them fiercely, but they heard a coquettish voice: "Stand down, don't be rude." ”
The men immediately stepped back and split their ways. The little sailor stepped forward, still with that swarthy and rough face, but there was a majesty in his expression that was difficult to face.
Facing Lin Ding, he first bowed: "Lord Lin Ding, there is a reason for the incident, and I have to offend, and I have to offend many times." It's rude. ”
Lin Ding bowed and saluted back: "Your Royal Highness the Marshal, don't dare to be." It's just that Your Highness's joke was so big that it almost killed me. ”
"It's a shame to be reckless and reckless. I just don't know where the flaws are exposed, so that you can see your identity? I think this makeup is still perfect, how can you recognize my identity at once?"
"Your Highness, you and I have been with you for a while. It's not been long, but it's enough for me to understand your voice, Your Highness. Your Highness, you deliberately lowered your voice, I really didn't recognize it at first, I just thought this voice was a little familiar, but you repeatedly asked General Lin Yunfei about the cause of death...... I should have figured this out no matter how stupid I was. There are not many people in the world who have the ability to plan such a careful action, or General Lin Yunfei's life friend!"
At the mention of Lin Yunfei's name, both of them looked gloomy.
Liu Fengshuang asked: "So, do you know anything about General Lin Yunfei's death?"
"I was there when he died. ”
Liu Fengshuang took a breath abruptly, her eyes flashed, her fists clenched suddenly, and then slowly released, in a very strange tone, she said slowly: "You were there at the time?"
Lin Ding hurriedly shook his hand: "Marshal, although I am here, I have nothing to do with this matter! ”
"What's going on?"
"That night, I went home from a visit to an old friend, and it was not early, after twelve o'clock in the evening. As the carriage passed by the second road square in the river hill, it heard the sound of fighting and cries for help from the side of the road. I was astonished to hear that voice, could it be that there was still robbers in the riverhills? I went with my retinue to meet the shouts, and saw a group of masked men with knives chasing down several uniformed soldiers. One of the people who was cut down was Lin Yunfei, his head was covered in blood, and he and his companions were fighting with their bare hands to resist, fighting and retreating, the fight was very fierce, and the blood flowed for a long street. ”
Lin Ding said it very simply, but the wind and frost could already imagine the tragedy of the scene at that time. Swords and swords, bloody streets, Lin Yunfei and his entourage were attacked by a large group of killers by surprise, and they must have suffered heavy casualties.
Liu Fengshuang looked at Lin Ding: "Lin Ding, in terms of seniority, you should be regarded as Lin Yunfei's cousin, he is your cousin." You're just watching him killed?"
Lin Ding's face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Fengshuang: "Marshal, the incident happened suddenly, neither I nor my entourage had weapons on us, how can we fight against those heavily armed and vicious thugs? I wanted to call the garrison or jǐng to come and intervene, but the thugs shouted that they were acting on the orders of the Elders' Council, and whoever dared to do anything would be killed, so I ......"
He hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
And then you get scared. Liu Fengshuang said quietly. Her tone was flat, not like she was reproaching anyone, just stating a very obvious fact.
Lin Ding lowered his head and looked at his toes, his face was very white, I don't know if it was because he was soaked in ice water or because of the guilt in his heart.
The river wind whistled and blew on people's clothes.
In the silence, Liu Fengshuang said slowly: "In order to defend the country, he constantly fought against all kinds of evil foreign enemies, such as pirates, pirates, and bandits, with many meritorious achievements and countless scars. He was loyal to his duties, fulfilled his military honor, never interfered in politics, and was above board. His life is worthy of admiration. ”
She looked at Lin Ding: "Such an upright and noble person should not die so unclear." Lord Lin Ding, it is very important to find out the truth about the murder of General Lin Yunfei and the incident in Heqiu, and I hope to get your help. ”
Lin Ding's lips trembled slightly, indicating that there was a fierce struggle going on in his heart. After a long time, he turned his head heavily: "Marshal, I know that General Lin Yunfei is your good friend. But let's forget about revenge. If you continue to pursue it, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid it will work against you. ”
"It's not good for me?" said Flowing Wind and Frost's eyes widened in surprise.
The one-armed man behind her interjected coldly: "Lord Lin Ding, are you dizzy? In front of you is the Marshal of the Liufeng Family, Liufeng Shuang! She is in charge of heavy troops and deters the northwest, even if Zichuan Shenxing sees our Highness, he has to be respectful! Demon God Emperor Carter is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't dare to be rude to His Highness! Xiaoxiao Heqiu, can there be any great big people? Even if Lin Fan's old guy comes over in person......"
"Thea, shut up!" Liu Fengshuang scolded sternly: "Don't be rude, quickly apologize to Lord Lin Ding-Lord Lin Ding, Liu Fengshuang is not strict, I am very sorry." I have always had great respect for Riverhill and the Elders, and I have no contempt for them. ”
Lin Ding sighed: "Your Royal Highness, your family is right. The Liufeng family is strong and strong, and the famous generals under your command are like clouds, so naturally you don't look at the Heqiu army that has been sluggish. ”
"I didn't mean to......"
"But although the Heqiu Army is not a climate, there are still some characters that cannot be despised in the world. If you want to pursue this matter, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with him. ”
"Do you mean Lin Rui?"
"Lin Rui is naturally inseparable from this matter. But it is really appalling to attack so many senior military generals for no reason, and Lin Rui may not be able to do it alone. Unless, Lin Rui has greater support behind him, so that he can overwhelm the opposition forces. ”
"Greater support?" "Confusion in Liufengshuang's eyes: "As the head of the Elders' Church, Lin Rui is already at the pinnacle of power, is there anyone behind him who can instruct him?
"Marshal, have you forgotten? The true ruler of the river hill, the giant who has supported the Lin clan for thousands of years! Behind the river hill, there is a real cāo vertical qiē figure! In front of him, even the dignity of the patriarch and the elder is nothing. ”
Lin Ding lowered his voice, but the god became very strict: "Your Highness, there have always been rumors: His Royal Highness King Ming has made a comeback! Your Highness, even if you are powerful, you can't ignore the divine might of His Royal Highness King Ming!"
At dusk, on the outskirts of Bataan in the province of Venari, a fierce siege battle was underway.
In the light of the setting sun, thousands of orc soldiers attacked the towering walls in dense formations, and the attacking queue was as turbulent as the waves.
Flying arrows fell into the attacking army in a terrible arc, splashing waves of flesh and blood, and in the light of the setting sun, the tragic offensive battle was going on in a furious manner.
The sound of killing shook the sky, hundreds of ladders were erected on the top of the city, and the half-orc infantry stepped on the ladders and stormed up, and the crowd of people fighting was already in a scuffle on the top of the city. From time to time, a human body fell from that terrible height and fell hard.
But at this point, no one is paying attention to this. Both sides of the battle were red-eyed, and the orc soldiers and demon soldiers attacked and killed each other inch by inch at the head of the city, and the blood flowed.
"It's too slow! It's getting dark, we can't even take the city!"
Seeing that the banner of the demon clan on the head of the city was already shaking, but it just didn't fall, General Roger was furious like an angry lion. He was furious, and shouted hoarsely: "Come on, brothers, go on! The demons can't stand it!
Impatient, he rushed to the city and tore down a half-orc officer who was about to enter the city: "You can't do it!
But as soon as he climbed the ladder, the guards took the lead and dragged him down, and Roger roared like thunder, struggling desperately: "Let go of me! Look at the appearance of this group of pus-filled waste, Lao Tzu is about to be angry! I can't hold it back, I will personally go up and cut down the demon cubs! You bastards, let me go, or I will let you die!"
"Your Excellency, you must not! You are the vanguard commander, you must not take the danger lightly! The overall situation has been decided, the demons will not last long, and the city will be taken by our army sooner or later......"
"Bastard!" Roger yelled, of course he knew that the city would be taken sooner or later, but the key was who would take it. The one who won the first credit must be the Far East, and the whole army and the whole country must know that the first person to recover Venari was Lord Roger of the Far Eastern Army!
Seeing that the attacking army had gained the upper hand but could not defeat the resistance of the demons, he was anxious.
At the offensive mobilization meeting the night before, Lord Stirling asked: "Bataan is a battleground for soldiers, and if we want to march to Dak, we must take Bataan!
Before the words fell, a row of silver epaulettes stood up on the spot. The generals shouted loudly: "I'm on! I'm on!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Our 11th Division of the Southeast Army is an ace division, and we will definitely be able to take it!"
"The Far East Xiuzi Battalion hasn't lost a battle yet! My lord, please leave the task to us!"
"My lord, let my orcs go up!
The Southeastern Army joined forces with the Far Eastern Army and rebelled against the two people on the outskirts of the Demon Race, Gotha Khan and Yagomi, and the human army quickly cleared their defense area, and the soldiers were quickly killed under the city of Bataan. Bataan City is only guarded by a small number of demon soldiers, and it will definitely not be able to stop the human army, and this battle will definitely be won.
This is the first big battle after the division, as the vanguard of the first battle, simply take the city neatly, and exalt the prestige before the two armies, this is a meritorious feat sent to the door, which of the generals does not want to grab the merit? Everyone is crazy.
In the end, Lord Stirling consulted with Master Shikawa Shu and decided to hand over the task of the first battle to the Far Eastern Army.
Commander Zichuan Xiu smiled and looked at the generals under his command one by one. Finally, his gaze stopped on Roger and said, "Roger, are you confident?"
At that time, there were many high-ranking generals in the southeast and the Far East, and there were nearly 100 high-ranking generals above the flag book alone. Under the focus of everyone's envious blazing eyes, Roger only felt that the blood on his body was boiling.
He strode out of the queue and saluted Zichuan Xiu vigorously, and his tone was strong and calm: "Lord Commander, if you can't take the Ba Dan in one day, the lower official will raise the head and return to see the lord!"
"If you have courage, you are worthy of us men from the Far East! This task will be entrusted to you! Don't disgrace the Far East. ”
"Supreme glory!
At this time, Commander Sterling interjected next to him: "Roger's red-clothed banner is brave and brave, and he will definitely make a contribution in the first battle." However, in order to achieve a quick victory, it is better to arrange a reserve of troops and reinforcements. Led by Xiuchuan, I built a red-clothed banner led by Ouyang Jing of our southeast army to help Roger's red-clothed banner. ”
Roger was just about to say, "My lord, the lower officials don't need to help. But Zichuan Xiu had already spoken first: "That's very good." Your Excellency Ouyang, I'm going to trouble you! Roger, you have to cooperate with General Ouyang. ”
Roger reluctantly responded: "Yes." ”
Out of the general column was a young general with a lofty spirit, it was Ouyang Jing. He stood upright, saluted Sterling first, then turned around and saluted Zi Chuanxiu, and said loudly: "Xie two adults cultivate, Xia Guan is deeply honored!"
He turned to look at Roger, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Lord Roger, happy cooperation!"
Roger snorted coldly in his heart, gritting his teeth with hatred for this little white face who suddenly appeared to compete with him. However, the presence of the two commanders, and the presence of nearly 100 high-ranking generals of the two armies, absolutely could not lose their demeanor on such an occasion.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile and stretched out his hand: "General Ouyang, thank you for your cooperation tomorrow!"
Thinking of the scene at that time, and then looking at the stalemate of the war, Roger only felt that he was burned inside, the first round of attacks was blocked by the demons, and the second round of attacks barely rushed to the city. The sun is about to set, but the city is still in the hands of the demons. In front of the two adults, in front of so many people, he boasted about Haikou, how could it end well?
How can I have the face to go back to see adults?
How can I hold my head up in front of my colleagues?
"Lord Roger!" In the midst of the chaotic attacking procession, a herald rushed to his side on horseback and shouted, "Lord Roger, General Ouyang has sent me to ask Your Excellency if you want reinforcements?
"What did you say?"
"General Ouyang asked if you wanted reinforcements!"
The voices were so noisy that the sounds of fighting, screaming, and groaning mingled with the loud rumbling of the towers, and it wasn't until the herald repeated it a third time that Roger could hear him. In an instant, the long-suppressed fury erupted like a huge volcano!
He grabbed the collar of the herald officer and shouted into his ear: "Sue Ouyang Jing, if you are not afraid of death, just drive up! Lao Tzu knows him Ouyang Jing, but Lao Tzu's soldiers and horses don't know him! If he dares to come up, the orc immediately turns his gun and hits him together!"
The herald struggled to break free from Roger's hand, straightened his clothes angrily, and replied to Roger with the same voice: "Your Excellency, the subordinate is only responsible for the herald, you don't have to do this! Which troops to send up, that is a matter that only the two adults, Sterling and Zichuan Xiu, can decide, and it is useless for you to get angry! If you are angry, take the city by yourself before dark, then no one will be able to steal your credit." Xiaguan originally wanted to watch the battle with you here, but now it seems that your Excellency will not welcome me. Farewell!"
"Who are you, what's your name?"
"Xiaguan Yakri, Operational Staff Officer of the Headquarters of the Southeast Army, Deputy Bannerman. ”
Yakri straightened out his crumpled collar, turned to mount his horse, and before leaving, he lightly threw down a sentence: "It is said that how the Far Eastern Army can fight, according to me, it is nothing more than that." ”
"Bastard, you stop me!"
But it was too late, and the other party didn't even give Roger a chance to scold back, and ran away with a smoke. Watching his back disappear into the chaotic crowd of soldiers and swords, Roger only felt desperate and angry: "This face is embarrassing!"
Just as a group of half-orcs was rushing past him with flags, Roger jumped over and reached out to snatch the flag bearer's flag. The half-orc flag bearer was caught off guard, and was actually captured by Roger!
The flag is the soul of the army, and someone dares to capture the flag in front of the battle!
After the stunned, the whole team was furious. The half-orc soldiers screamed wildly, and they were about to beat up in groups, but they suddenly found that the person who captured the flag was none other than his own direct commander, Lord Roger, the commander of the First Army in the Far East!
The half-orc officers and soldiers were stunned: "My lord, what are you doing here?"
"Brethren, there is no other way out. Suppressing his violent mood, Roger's tone was surprisingly calm: "Time is running out." This is the first big battle since the counteroffensive, dìdū is watching, Liufeng Shuang is watching, Danya is watching, Heqiu is watching, and Yuanjing is also watching. If we can't take this city before dark, tomorrow our First Army in the Far East will become the laughing stock of the whole continent! If I lose the face of Lord Xiuchuan, I will definitely have no face to go back alive; don't even think about raising your head after you, everyone has said: Far Eastern generals, but that's it! When have the Far Easterners been so underestimated by the soft bones of the mainland!"
"Never!" the orcs roared in response, "Far Eastern warriors are the strongest!"
Roger waved the flag vigorously, and the sadness and despair made the burly Chinese tone very poignant: "Come on, follow this banner, no one is allowed to retreat!"
"Hudrola!"
Instigated by Roger, the troops and horses participating in the battle once again puffed up their courage, and the men and horses were surging like cháo water, storming the city, and the troops were fierce and indomitable.
The demon defenders defended the city, and they poured arrows like raindrops on the city, splashing hot tar, and the half-orc soldiers couldn't even dodge, because the people were turbulent, and the follow-up soldiers and horses were endless, and you were not allowed to retreat at all!
So, in the midst of the screams and splashes of blood, ladder after ladder was erected high, and the burly orc soldiers marched forward inch by inch at the cost of blood, robbing battlements one battlement after another.
Under Roger's personal leadership, he was provoked to anger, and the attack of the Far Eastern Army was like a rage, and the orcs rushed everywhere, slashing and chopping, extremely fierce.
On the city wall, the tired demon soldiers gradually couldn't stop it, and half an hour later, the half-orc soldiers and snake soldiers captured the city, but the battle was not over, the remaining demon defenders were strongholds, and the battle was transferred from the city head to various city roads and city gate headquarters.
The final battle was particularly brutal, the occupation was carried out inch by inch, and the city roads were already flooded with corpses and bleeding.
In several corridors of the city road, the corpses on both sides blocked the road, pile after pile, so the demon soldiers used this pile of corpses as a defensive position, and the orcs grabbed the dead man's hair or feet and threw the corpses far away from the city, so as not to hinder the joy of the fight.
For a time, countless human bodies fell from the sky above the city, dense as raindrops, and the situation was very spectacular.
On a hillside outside the city, the two leaders of the Zichuan family were watching the battle side by side. Despite the distance, the mixed sounds of the battle could still be heard from time to time, screams, groans, the sonorous sound of weapon fighting, the galloping hooves of cavalry, and the crackling of flames. The scene was tragic and terrifying.
Retracting his gaze at the city, Commander Stirling was relieved: "The follow-up troops have gone up, and the city has been taken." ”
"Damn. Zi Chuanxiu also relaxed, watched the battle for a day, and watched the city head repeatedly tug at the war, he was so nervous that the clothes behind him were wet: "Roger, this guy, what is he doing all day? It was dark before he suddenly exerted his strength, and now he has captured the city, and he can't continue to fight at night with torches in the street fighting?"
"Roger's soldiers and horses have been killed for a day, and the soldiers are tired. Why don't you change Ouyang Jing to go up and fight in the streets?"
"I'm okay with that. Send a herald to ask Roger if he gets tired, we can replace him. ”
The herald hurried to the front, and after about half an hour, he ran back and said, "Your Excellency Roger will not be willing to do so, and he said that he is not tired at all, and that he can fight for another three days and three nights, and the city can be taken by himself." He said, just ask the two adults, don't send other troops up, the orcs are confused, and it will be troublesome to fight the wrong person when the time comes. ”
The two commanders glanced at each other, and Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "Roger, this guy, is so bold that he actually threatened me!"
"The one who is close to the ink is black, someone teaches it well! Ah Xiu, what do you think should be done?"
"Since Roger has made a military order, let him be. The overall situation has been decided, and sooner or later the city will be taken. ”
"It's better to take it early. Stirling turned his head and looked at the dwilight of the west, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Bataan is the gateway to the suburbs of dìdū. Bataan, Duck is in no danger. The Demon God Emperor and the Guards Brigade are less than a hundred and fifty miles away. ”
Following Sterling's gaze, Shikawa looked to the far west.
As soon as Bataan was born, the connection between the base camp of the Demon Clan's Western Expedition and the rear was completely cut off. Now, no matter how stubborn the Demon God Emperor is, he will have to transfer the army back from Dìdū to deal with himself.
Neither of them made a sound, silently thinking about their thoughts.
At eight o'clock in the evening, there was a great commotion in the direction of the city, and thousands of people cheered, and both of them guessed what was going on.
"It's like Roger got his hands on it. ”
As Sterling had expected, a blood-stained Roger ran up to the two of them out of breath.
"Lord Stirling, Lord Hidekawa, it is my honor to report to the two commanders that our First Army in the Far East has recovered Bataan City!"
Sterling smiled, "Good work, Lord Roger. If you win the first battle, you are the first to win. ”
"Willing to serve the family!" Roger straightened his chest and belly, his face soaring: "Lord Sterling, this kind of small battle, to us, that's just a small matter!--But today's demon cub is indeed a bit difficult, the bow and arrows, falling rocks, and hot oil are as dense as rain, and both charges are repulsed. I didn't want to deal with this kind of small enemy, but look, no! If I don't make a move, the children really can't do it, and the demon soldiers are still very arrogant! So I got annoyed, and I took a knife and cut down dozens of them......
Roger was so excited that his face was red and he chattered and chattered.
In all fairness, he did have something to be proud of in today's battle, capturing the strategically important city of Bataan in one day, opening up the way for the army to advance.
In order to highlight the hard work of the siege war, he not only wiped the blood stains off his body, but even ran into a pool of blood and rolled before running to see Zichuan Xiu, so the heroic general strode over, step by step with bloody footprints, with a sad expression on his face, as if he had just experienced the most difficult hard battle in his life, that kind of hardship, alas, those of you who are watching the battle from behind, you can't imagine it!
If it weren't for me, Lord Roger, even if I changed any general, I am afraid that I would not be able to take this city in ten days and half a month.
But which of the two commanders is not a shrewd person, but also experienced, how can they be deceived by this little trick.
Zi Chuan Xiu smiled and asked, "Roger, where did you find blood water to bathe?"
"My lord, this is blood! this is the ...... that was splashed on me when I fought with the demons."
"Isn't that right? The blood spilled on it should be little by little, you look like this...... It's like soaking your clothes in blood for a while and coming back. ”
"Okay, okay, why bother!" Sterling interrupted Zichuan Xiu and smiled, "Lord Roger has made a great contribution, so you don't have to worry about those small sections." Roger, we have all seen today's battle, your troops are brave and good at fighting, Your Excellency is in front of the enemy, commanding properly, and heroic. In the face of national crisis, the family needs loyal soldiers and excellent commanders. Please believe that the family will not forget your merits, and your merits and dedication will be rewarded as they should be. ”
He soothed him a few more words, and Roger pricked up his ears to listen to him, for fear of missing a word—this praise did not come from others, it was the famous Tiger of Zichuan, the number one warrior of the Zichuan family, Lord Stirling.
He is flawless in both personality and reputation, and can be called a model of military personnel and the pride of the Zichuan family. With his appreciation, it is worth a lifetime of glory, not to mention that he is still the military director of the Zichuan family, and he values it, and it is no problem to fly Huang Tengda after rì!
The only regret is that it would be nice if there was no Zi Chuanxiu who had been smiling evilly next to him, and being looked at by him with such a smile, Roger always couldn't help but feel furious in his heart...... "Two adults Qiqi, after we attacked the city, the demon soldiers saw that there was no hope in defending the city, and they had surrendered collectively." May I ask you, adults, what should we do with the surrendered demon soldiers?"
Shikawa Xiu asked, "How many people?"
"The specific number has not been calculated, but it is probably a thousand people. ”
"Sterling, you can decide this. They are Senean soldiers, mortal enemies of us humans, and it is difficult to influence them, or they can be sent to ......"
"All killed, the corpses nailed to the trees, the corpses in the wilderness. Let the Demon God Emperor know that their end has arrived! Let the fifteenth army of the Demon Race, who is still hesitant, know that human beings are not just talking, if they don't make up their minds, the end will not be much better!"
Sterling did not hesitate, his handsome face showing fortitude: "The Seneans have done a lot of evil and invaded our world. Now, it's time for them to pay the price! We are not afraid to make an example!"
Shikawa lowered his eyes and lowered his long eyelashes. He didn't really approve of Stirling's approach - not that he had any pity for these demon captives, but he just felt that the great war was imminent, and exposing these thousands of demon soldiers to the wilderness might not be able to scare the Demon God Emperor, but instead gave the Seneans the best example of encouraging soldiers to fight to the death: "Look, this is the fate of surrendering to the humans!"
Fighting to the death with the trapped beast is something that Shikawa Xiu tries to avoid. On the contrary, he tried his best to give the enemy hope and give him a way out. Pursuing a fleeing enemy is much less expensive than fighting a trapped beast to the death.
The swarthy woods, quietly. In the moonlight, the road was like a snow-white strip of clothing, winding towards the horizon as far as the eye could see, and at the end of the earth, a huge full moon hung high.
This is a wilderness forest on the outskirts of Dak, and Black Sand walks on the forest path towards Dak.
Even in the deserted wilderness, the military advisor still maintained his usual demeanor, his shoulders were straight, his head was held high, his veil swayed gently in the breeze, and his black robe fluttered.
Lights appeared in front of him, and a sign hung up read the words "Checkpoint" in Demon script. The long journey finally came to an end, and Duck was in front of him. Thinking that he would soon be able to rest, Heisha's heart was filled with faint joy.
A demon officer with a white feather pinned to his hat walked out of the checkpoint and shouted at the black sand, "Who are you? What are you doing hanging out here?"
Looking at the other party's feathered face, in the proficient demon language, Heisha said calmly: "Captain of the hundreds, I am Heisha." ”
Surprised by Heisha's pure demon language, the officer's attitude was a little more restrained, and his voice was still stern: "No matter who you are, Your Majesty has an order, the spies of the Zichuan family have been rampant recently. Anyone who comes within 50 miles of the camp and does not have a pass will be taken down! Are you a human being, or a protoss? What are you doing with a veil?"
Black Sand frowned. He is a powerful minister of the kingdom, and the other party, as an officer, has never heard his name, and he is too stupid.
"Who's in charge of this checkpoint, and where is your boss?"
"I'm in charge here!" said the captain of the hundreds, "Sneaking in the middle of the night, and wearing a veil, your appearance is very suspicious! Do you want to spy on the military? Brothers, take him down, lift his veil, and see what kind of goods this guy is!"
Several demon soldiers rushed out of the checkpoint and surrounded the black sand.
Heisha couldn't laugh or cry. He took a step back, touched his robe, and showed a bright gold medal in his hand: "Look at this gold medal, the identity card given by His Majesty!
The five horse corpses are the heaviest military punishment in the demon army, and after being shouted by the black sand, several demon soldiers paused.
The captain of the hundred people poked his head out curiously: "Nonsense, what kind of majesty is ...... to give you" Seeing the lion pattern representing the kingdom on the gold medal, his face turned white all of a sudden, and his voice changed: "You, you dare to forge the royal token!"
"Whether it's a forgery or not, you can see clearly!"
Heisha shook his hand, and the gold medal accurately fell into the officer's hands. His eyes were wide open, and his hand holding the gold medal was shaking.
The gold medal is heavy, the lines are clear, the lines are complex but not chaotic, the golden lion is dancing with teeth and claws, it is the royal symbol of Senea, looking at the texture and pattern, there is no possibility of counterfeiting.
The captain of the hundred people cried with a sad face, held the gold medal in both hands and handed it back, and said in a trembling voice: "Adult, the little one has eyes and no beads, and is reckless and offensive." ”
"It doesn't matter. You are also on military duty, and I will not ...... with you."
Before he finished speaking, the two were handing over the token, when the officer suddenly flipped his wrist, clasped Heisha's wrist, and shouted: "Jiān fine, take it!"
Heisha exclaimed: "You ......"
There was a soft snort, and Heisha only felt a chill on his waist, followed by a hot one. He looked at it in confusion, only to feel that a demon soldier with a dagger had just been pulled out of his left waist, and the blade was full of blood.
At the same moment, there were several swishing sounds, and a row of sharp arrows appeared in the woods, and Heisha hurriedly shook off the officer to dodge, but he was always one step slower, and was hit by arrows in the shoulder, thigh, chest and abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, the black sand had been damaged in many places. Desperately bleeding, he suddenly kicked the officer away, and knocked down the sneaking demon soldier with a punch, and before he could catch his breath, another row of arrows came, and Heisha hurriedly waved his sleeves, rolling up a strong wind, blowing most of the arrows away, but there were still a few arrows on his arm, and it was a sharp pain.
Before he could pull out the arrow, he only heard a piercing shout and noise in the forest, and from all over the dense forest, demon soldiers with swords and spears poured out, and they were heading towards the black sand.
At this time, Heisha realized: it was not a misunderstanding. From start to finish, this is a trap for yourself!
The military advisor roared: "Despicable, who did it, stand up for me!" The angry roar resounded through the wilderness in the middle of the night, startling countless birds that slept in the forest at night.
The only thing that answered him was a shrill shout: "Wagra!" The demon soldiers rushed over with their swords, and the archers in the dark forest kept shooting arrows at the black sofa, but no one answered Black Sand's doubts.
Heisha let out a long roar, ignoring the arrows stuck in his body, and rushed into the demon soldiers like a leopard.
The first demon soldier who rushed close raised the machete, but the knife had no chance to fall at all, the white and slender hand of the black sand stretched out, the index finger was lightly clicked, only to hear a terrible scream, the soldier dropped the machete held in the air, covered his throat and fell to the ground, his throat made a muffled sound, and the red blood gushed out from his fingers, like a spring water.
Without delay, Heisha turned around and snatched a machete that slashed at his head, and with a wave of his backhand, the head of a demon soldier flew into the sky.
Spun around and stabbed like lightning, and the four demon soldiers around him screamed in unison, all of them opened a hole between their eyebrows, and their brains burst.
Without the slightest pause, Heisha's figure retreated suddenly, and with a fierce elbow strike, the demon soldiers behind him who wanted to come up and sneak attack were suddenly knocked out.
Hiding in the dark forest to watch the battle, listening to the screams one after another, Yun Qianxue's palms oozed sweat.
Before the action, it was estimated that Heisha, who had never shown his martial arts, might be a master of martial arts, but he never expected his martial arts to be so high. Although he was assassinated in a hurry and suffered nearly ten wounds, he did not mess up at all, he shot quickly, accurately, ruthlessly, simply and neatly, brave as a tiger, rushing back and forth like lightning in the encirclement, and no one could stop him in a move and a half!
Looking at the jumping figure of the black sand, Yun Qianxue only felt that she was in a complicated mood.
If his intentions were to be treated, he was reluctant to do so. In his heart, the military advisor is a gentle wise man and senior, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, and fair. The Demon Kingdom can be so strong, and the great talent of the God Emperor is certainly the main credit, and Heisha's contribution to it will never be less. I have always respected the military advisor very much.
However, the prince of Karan believes that the black sand has bewitched the Demon God Emperor and made His Majesty indulge in the illusion of conquering humanity. If Heisha does not die, His Majesty will not agree to withdraw the army. The most important thing is that on the issue of succession to the throne, Heisha has an ambiguous attitude, which is a taboo in the heart of Prince Karan. This time, as soon as he got the news that Heisha had returned from the field, Karan immediately made a decision: "You can't let him enter the camp to meet with his father and kill him on the way!"
It's just that no one would have expected that hundreds of demon clan soldiers would not be able to surround and kill a wounded military advisor! A plain and polite military advisor would be so strong once he was in danger!
Seeing that the military advisor was outnumbered, rushing left and right in the crowd, like a fierce tiger, Yun Qianxue suddenly had a sense of déjà vu: where had I seen the scene in front of her, but I couldn't remember it.
At this moment, Kahlan spoke up: "Black Sand's style of play, it seems to be a person." ”
"Who?"
"Zichuan Show at the 780th Anniversary Celebration Banquet!"
Yun Qianxue Huo Ran turned her head and looked at Kalan, seeing the latter's surprised eyes.
Kahlan was right, although Heisha used a sword as a sword, but the feeling was the same, the ghostly body, the lightning shot, the feints of striking the west, the two had the same rhythm, the same temperament, and even the courage of the two was so similar - just like a music master playing two different songs, although the notes on the surface were different, but the deeper inside was exactly the same! Even a layman like Karan who did not know martial arts could see that the martial arts of the two were obviously from the same origin.
"What does it matter to them?"
This question is ridiculous even to think about it, one is the feudal lord of the Zichuan family, the mortal enemy of the demon clan, and the other is the number one minister who has the power to favor the demon clan. In any way, the two will not have the slightest connection. But they are so similar, which can't help but make Yun Qianxue and Karan think about it.
"No one knows where the Black Sand guy came from. Cloud, I don't know if we stumbled into it by mistake, and really figured out a big jiān fine. ”
The slaughter was still going on, screams were loud and loud, the forest was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the low moans of the dying could be heard from nowhere. Hundreds of demon clan masters selected by jīng, more than thirty people were lying on the ground at this moment.
Heisha was so brave that it made Yun Qianxue and Kalan feel cold: if it wasn't for the sneak attack that made him injured first, maybe these hundred or so demon masters would not be enough for him to kill.
Black Sand was brave, after all, he was injured first, and his movements gradually slowed down, and Karan was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "He's dying!
Heisha suddenly roared: "Die!"
It was like a sudden thunderstorm on a sunny day, and the demons were hit by a hammer on the head, and the approaching demon soldiers were immediately stunned, and the rest were buzzing eardrums, dizzy, and unsteady on their feet.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Heisha slammed into it, and was slashed by a spear and sword a few times, but knocked the three demon soldiers who were blocking the way to the ground, he jumped out of this gap like lightning, and in a blink of an eye, he sank into the dense forest, only to hear an angry howl from the forest: "The shaft is wrong for me!"
The demon soldiers followed and chased towards the dense forest, and the sound of fighting and screaming continued to be heard in the forest, and the sound gradually faded away, and finally became quiet.
The officer leading the team panted and reported to Yun Qianxue: "Lord Qiyu, the target has been seriously damaged, but he fled into the woods and disappeared. We have suffered heavy casualties, please advise your Excellency, do you want to continue to send more manpower to search the forest and pursue?"
Yun Qianxue was groaning, and Kahlan whispered, "We can't send more people." It's hard to keep it a secret when it's a big deal. ”
Yun Qianxue then ordered: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, but before reinforcements come, you continue to track and search, and be sure to capture the target." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The prince of the demon clan and the number one general looked at each other, and they both saw the frustration in each other's eyes. The black sand is so strong, since it can break out of the encirclement, most of the pursuit in the forest will be in vain.
Yun Qianxue comforted Karan and said, "Your Highness, the military advisor is deeply injured, and he may not be able to survive." You don't have to worry too much - besides, he didn't know we did it. ”
Karan nodded: "After the matter is over, you transfer all the officers and soldiers who participated in today's incident to the front line, and I will arrange for Peima to deal with it." ”
Killing people and killing people is a step that must be taken. Yun Qianxue nodded: "Understood, Your Highness." ”
"Good. Let's go back. ”
Just as he was about to start, Kahlan suddenly turned to look at Yun Qianxue: "Yun, you still call him a military advisor - are you very reluctant to take this operation?"
Yun Qianxue was shocked, but her face did not show any light: "Your Highness, I am loyal to you." ”
The answer was not answered, but Kahlan seemed satisfied with the answer. He whispered, "Actually, I don't want to do that either." The military advisor is the hero of the world, a generation of heroes. He has contributed a lot to the kingdom where it is today. It's just a pity that he can't be used by me. ”
Standing at the edge of the woods, and finally looking back at the place where the military division was fighting bloodily, Prince Kalan looked melancholy: "We can't win this war, it's just that my father is unwilling to face the reality." You have to prepare early, the Yulin Army is our capital, and we have to rely on this army to consolidate the throne after returning home. Don't be stupid, you've put it together with humanity!
Looking at the prince's childlike innocent handsome face, Yun Qianxue was at a loss. What is the purpose of the Western Expedition War, which shed so much blood and sacrificed so many soldiers?
At this time, the crown prince and the number one general of the demon clan would not have expected that the last chance of victory in the war of the demon race's western expedition was just cut off by them tonight.
