Section VII

The rebel army has appeared on the vital Minsk Plain! This news made the demon generals in the entire Far East tremble in shock. They will not forget how it was on the Minsk Plain how a few small detachments that rebelled against the Zichuan family quickly grew into a terrifying strong division. This place is rich in products, has vast grain fields, is known as the granary of the Far East, and is also the most densely populated area in the entire Far East. Thinking of the current tense confrontation between the demon race and the Far Eastern race, the generals couldn't help but shudder: if the rebel army occupied the province of Minsk, they could easily recruit 300,000 strong new troops here!

The generals' fears were quickly confirmed by the facts. Led by a formidable enemy, a madman (or hero, there is no difference between the two) who calls himself the "King of Light", the rebel army marched north from the city of Kearney on 1 February, and sprinted like a tiger into the provincial capital of Minskian.

The rebel army came all the way to the west, and wherever the banner went, all the people followed, and the response was like a cloud.

In Daru City, the sudden appearance of the orc army rushed in like a torrent and tsunami, and engaged in street battles with the Daru garrison of the demons. Half an hour passed, and all the demon soldiers and horses were chopped to pieces. Outside the city of Yagano, the demon cavalry of the two teams was slaughtered, and the remnants abandoned the city in a panic and fled, being chased by a half-orc cavalry for more than 300 miles, and were attacked by guerrillas from all over the country along the way, and there were many corpses. The orc army was strong enough not only to siege the city, but also to send reinforcements. The demon infantry team that came to reinforce Yagano was killed by the edge of the forest forty miles away from the city, and only thirteen people escaped from the entire team.

And in Dulan City, which is less than fifty miles away from Minsk, under the noses of the 20,000 demon troops in Minsk, the half-orc cavalry wearing the red flame symbol of the King of Light ransacked the rear camp warehouse of the demons, wiped out a team of demon garrison troops, and drove away. The noise of the fierce siege battle could be heard even in Minsk. With more than 20,000 steps and cavalry, Kara, the commander of the demon garrison, did not dare to go out of the city to rescue. He feared that he would fall into the ambush circle of the rebels.

He was right to be worried. That night, there were 50,000 orc troops surrounding the city of Minsk, not including the civilian army and guerrillas who followed them. Hidden in the dense forest, they waited quietly and patiently until the sun rose. Seeing that the demons had always closed the city gate and refused to fight, Zi Chuanxiu sighed and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

From Aarny to Daru, from Daru to Agano, and from Aganor to Duran...... The demon garrisons along the way collapsed under the strong force of the rebel army, and one city after another fell under the strong attack of the rebel army. The rebel army passed all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the edge of the army was pointed at, and the small demon garrisons from all walks of life were killed like a whirlwind. The counties through which the army passed all rang the jǐng bells, and the letters for help flew to the provincial capital like snowflakes. The demon garrison cowered within the city walls, not daring to go into battle - but it was useless, as long as the rebel army shouted at the city gate: "Get up, compatriots!" As soon as the voice fell, the people of all ethnic groups in the city, who had already been agitated, immediately swarmed and attacked, beating the demon guards with bricks and stones, and the wolves fled, opening the city gate from the inside, and happily welcoming the rebel army into the city.

In towns where the rebels had not yet arrived, the population was waiting for them. All it takes is a command, a call, and they immediately rise to the top. In Manno City, a jīng spirit chef who was cooking vaguely heard someone shouting, "They're coming!" The chef immediately grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed out into the street, shouting: "They're coming!" "They're coming?!" The snake tailor heard the cry and quickly came out with scissors.

"They're coming!" the orc butcher came over with a pig-killing knife and sweating profusely.

"They're really coming!" the dwarven blacksmith came over with a hammer and tongs, panting and swinging his little short legs.

The dragonman looked at this, looked at that, blinked his flat eyes, and followed out with an axe for chopping wood, without saying a word.

"They're coming!" the voices merged into a single wave. The people of the towns poured into the streets, and when the peasants in the countryside heard the news, they threw away their plows and rakes and picked up the forks and ran straight to the city. The residents were sweating profusely with excitement, and everyone looked forward to the east and west, asking each other: "Where, where? Where are our people?"

The garrison of the demon clan saw a large crowd of people gathering and lined up to drive them away. The cavalrymen raised their whips and sabers, and the horses rushed straight towards the demonstrative crowd, their hooves knocking them down in rows. -- This trick is tried, as soon as the shadow of the army is seen, the demonstrative crowd runs faster than the frightened rabbit.

But today, they have made a big mistake: the rebel army is coming, and the people are no longer afraid of the demons.

The angry crowd shouted, and a terrible storm broke out, and the residents of half of the city roared angrily, and the "boom" rushed up, and suddenly pounced on the demon soldiers. The hundreds of demon garrisons were like a leaf in the storm in this sea of people, and the queue was shattered in an instant. The arrogant officer was pulled off his horse, the soldiers fled in wolves, dozens or even hundreds of people surrounded a demon soldier and beat him, and the arrogant and arrogant demon soldier was beaten and screamed, and he didn't dare to fight back, crying and shouting for mercy, but no one was forgiven, and the angry crowd immediately tore them to pieces and trampled them into pulp.

After the excitement, the executioners, whose hands were bloodied, gasped and asked each other, "Where are they?"

Several restaurant workers who delivered food timidly raised the lunch box in their hands: "Here." Barbecued pork rice, five copper coins a piece, who wants it?"

The army of the King of Light quickly swept through the entire territory of the entire province of Minsk. In the face of the general uprising of rì victory and rì, the power of the demon clan is weak. The only areas they can control now are a few important towns, such as the capital Minskian. As soon as you get out of the city, you will find a world of guerrillas and bandits of all kinds. Unless there is a whole army going out, it is to die. If the rebel army led by Shikawa Shu was still a little humane - they allowed to surrender and did not kill prisoners of war. The methods of the guerrillas were extremely cruel and barbaric. Because the members of the guerrillas all had family members who died at the hands of the demons, their hatred for the demons was the deepest. Once it falls into their hands, the only hope for the demon soldiers is to be able to lose their breath one minute earlier.

As for the southwestern region of the province, the vast plain area centered on the city of Kearney was the place where the rebel army was at its peak, although the military order from the Grand Governor's Office of the Far East of Tussauds Province was hasty, ordering Kara to quickly "regain the lost territory and extinguish the rebellion!" The demons did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. There, the rebel army had been planning and had already assembled a fairly powerful army, which was enough to compete with the regular soldiers and horses of the demon race, or even stronger. The soldiers and horses of the demons stationed in Minsk Province are in a panic. The commander of their garrison, Kara, was already in despair: the question now was not how to "extinguish the rebellion and regain lost territory", but how not to be "extinguished" by the rebellion. Once the rebel army is killed, it will be difficult to hold even with the help of the thick walls of Minskian. Abandon the city and flee? General Kara shuddered at the thought of the Demon Clan's cruel and ruthless military methods. In desperation, he even thought of leading his subordinates to surrender to the rebels.

However, on the 23rd of December, a team of half-orcs equipped with cavalry unexpectedly attacked and occupied Karst, an important town in Calais Province, which greatly surprised the demons. Karst is an important place connecting the province of Minsk and the province of Calais, and the rebels have conquered this place, indicating that they have the intention to develop in the southwestern province of Calais, and the pressure on the capital of the province of Minsk will be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, in the next few days, large groups of rebel troops continued to pounce on the Calais province. Unlike Minsk, the garrison of Calais was quite weak, with only three or two regiments in the provincial capital, and without foreign reinforcements, the rebels would have taken the entire province without much effort. The rebel army came all the way, and there was little resistance in the counties along the way, and the demon garrisons abandoned the city and fled, and the residents of all ethnic groups in various places joined the rebel army one after another. The capital of the province of Calais erupted in a wailing voice.

Tussaud's Far Eastern Governor's Office severely condemned the irresponsible attitude of the Minsk province to allow the troubles to go down the drain, and ordered the Minsk garrison to immediately attack the rebel rear and contain the rebel attack on the Calais province. The order was accompanied by reinforcements sent by the Governor's Office to the province of Minsk: four human divisions of dissatisfaction. This proves that Emperor Lu of Tussauds Province is also a soldier himself, and in order to deal with such a large-scale rebellion, he can't even send a pure demon army.

Kara resolutely disobeyed, and replied to Duke Ludi that if he took the initiative to attack with this amount of troops, it would be equivalent to delivering goods to those rebellious orcs, and it would be free.

Lu Di had no choice but to draw reinforcements from several "relatively stable" provinces around Minsk. Two infantry teams (one of which is orc) and one cavalry team were drawn from the Deya Provincial Military Region, two infantry teams (one was a snake team) were drawn from Tajie Province, and three demon teams were drawn from Ilia Province. This order made the governors of the province scream like pulling out their teeth, they also rebelled every Tuesday in the province, and rioted every Friday, and they themselves were also short of troops, they cried to Lu Di with tears and snot, saying that with so many troops, the provincial military district was no longer defenseless, and when they woke up tomorrow morning, those mobs must have been killed in front of their beds, so what should I do!?

Lord Lu Di's reply was: "Put a knife under your pillow before going to bed tonight." ”

With this huge wave of reinforcements, Rudi personally came to the capital of the Minsk province. Listened to the report of the governor of the provincial military district, Kara. Lu Di was furious, and he scolded: Kara, you useless thing has scared the enemy! The general of the dignified Demon God Kingdom actually frightened a group of half-orcs who resisted the earth-made javelins and wore animal skins so much that they did not dare to go out of battle!

"But there are too many of them, and the people around them are blindly supporting them......" Kara mustered up her courage and whispered to the discernment.

"Bah!" Lu Di spat out thick phlegm very loudly. He shouted loudly: "I think back then, there were not many Zichuan troops in Moon Bay? There were 500,000 of them! And we only had 100,000 people, what was the result? It wasn't that we were wiped out in less than a battle! That day ......

The subordinates looked at each other helplessly: The Battle of Moon Bay was the most proud record in Lu Di's life, and whenever he had the opportunity, Lu Di always liked to lead the topic to this, and it was not over as soon as he talked about it. In the first battle of Moon Bay, the number of Zichuan family participants was only about 100,000, and when it came to the mouth of Emperor Lu, it immediately became 500,000.

"That day, I personally went into battle, and I killed seventy-six soldiers of the Zichuan family alone!--The knife was curled, and Lao Tzu changed the knife and continued to kill! Later, I kept staring at the cavalry officer of the Zichuan family, and chased him for six or seven miles, and fought with him for more than 300 moves before cutting off his head, and it was really refreshing to fight--guess, who is he?"

"The Zichuan family is in charge of Fang Jin. Carla said in her heart, but on the surface she asked very eagerly, "Sir, who is that officer?"

"Fang Jin, the leader of the Zichuan family!" Lu Di slapped his thigh and laughed: "You didn't expect it, right? I killed it with my own hands!"

"It's weird!" everyone muttered in their hearts: Fang Jin was not killed by you at all, this story you made up has been told a hundred times, and everyone has memorized every plot, and now we have to pretend to be very surprised, admired, envious, admired, moved, admired, worshipped, excited...... It's a bit embarrassing.

But thankfully, everyone did.

"I didn't expect it!" A demon general shouted exaggeratedly: "Fang Jin was actually killed by the lord, that guy is the number one master in the human world!" (King Zuo Jiaming wept gloomily thousands of miles away.) )

Lord Lu Di humbly lowered his head: "I'm a relatively modest person, and I haven't always wanted to publicize this matter......"

"Lord Lu is brave, there are few opponents in the United States, killing a small Fang Jin is not like pinching an ant to death, it is effortless!"

"Although there are many masters of my god clan, if you talk about the true skills of battlefield fighting, I am afraid you have to count our Lord Lu!"

Lord Lu Di waved his hand again and again: "You can't say that...... People will be unhappy to hear it. I'm not used to competing with others for this kind of false name, so it's not interesting. ”

"Lord Lu Di is the second master of our God Clan!" someone shouted loudly, and everyone looked at him in horror, with the same thought in their hearts: "Are you crazy?"

Lu Di's smiling face immediately sank. The man added unhurriedly: "Of course, the number one master is my Emperor's Majesty! Except for His Majesty, who is worthy of being ranked in front of our lord? What Yun Qianxue and Ling Buxu, all of them are vain people! If they have the ability, ask them to come one-on-one with our lord and fight alone!"

Everyone immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Yes! Majesty xià first, lord second!"

Lu Di laughed and was dizzy with joy. He couldn't believe that with his outstanding military might of winning a hundred battles, there would be any ** mortal who dared to rebel against such a demigod figure? He immediately ordered: "Set off tomorrow, I will personally lead the army and put down the rebellion within a week!"

Kara let out a long sigh and began to prepare for the rebels' ranks. The forces at his disposal are: seven teams of demon garrisons, seven teams of demon field troops (they were originally going to pursue the rebellious half-orc army, but due to the sudden U-turn of the half-orcs to the southwest, they all chased in the wrong direction and had to return in vain), ten teams of Far Eastern troops (six of which were half-orc teams, three snake teams, and one dragonman team), and four unorganized human divisions. Taken together, Kara suddenly found that the number of troops at his disposal was still quite considerable, and even after deducting the necessary remaining troops to deal with the guerrillas, he could still use more than 100,000 troops to fight the rebels.

He felt a little brighter about his future.

The conquest operation proceeded quite smoothly, and the mighty demon counterinsurgency army set out from Minsk, the capital of Minsk Province, and went straight to the base of the rebel army in the southwest of the province. Those scattered small guerrillas did not dare to fight with the main force of the Demon Army, and they ran fast as soon as they saw the banner of the Demon Army. After much fighting, the demon army quickly recovered fifteen cities including Daru, Valin, Kausa, Yagano, and Goli (most of these cities were left with only one empty city, and when they learned that the demons were coming to counterattack, the residents ran away), and almost drove the rebel army from the southwest of the entire Minsk province, and only the last city in the hands of the rebel army remained: the city of Kearny. The high-spirited demon army quickly advanced towards Kearney, and the demon army was beaming from top to bottom, all thinking that they had a chance to win.

The army had already set camp, but the noise was still so loud, with footsteps, talking, and cars...... I can't sleep at all. Zi Chuan Xiu lay on the bed with his eyes open in a daze: on the outskirts of Kearney City, all the main forces of the rebel army had been concentrated, and countless civilian army troops had been attached. At this moment, theoretically speaking, the army under his command far surpasses the crusading army of the demon clan in terms of numbers alone, but the quality is ...... Shikawa Xiu smiled bitterly.

This afternoon, he met with a contingent of people who had come to take refuge, armed with kitchen knives tied to bamboo poles, and whose members ranged from eight to eighty years of age, and who had absolutely no military experience. The procession was followed by a large wagon with all their possessions: a face plate, a bedboard, a cauldron, a sow, five strings of bacon, and red-eyed orc women and weeping children......

The half-beast People's Army explained to Zichuan Xiu: "I really don't feel at ease to leave them at home. ”

"But I'm even more uncomfortable with them here. Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help but say this, he suspected that when the battle situation was slightly unfavorable, these heroes took care of their clothes, bedside tables, carriages, sows, wives, and children...... Or do you want to win first?

"Your Highness," a half-orc herald approached, "the meeting time has come. ”

"Yes. Zichuan Xiu got up, straightened his clothes, and followed the herald over.

According to the statistics of a week ago, there were a total of 40 teams of regular army horses under his command, nearly 150,000 people. The number of civilian troops following the regular army is estimated to be around 200,000. And every day, a large number of civilian troops join their own troops, and their own strength increases with them. At the foot of the hillside, the colorful homespun tents, the flooding of the fire, spread all the way to the end of the earth, and this is the main force of the Far Eastern army. Although it was already two o'clock in the evening, the noise of the camp was still so loud. Out of nowhere, the cry of a child was heard. The soldiers streamed along the alleys between the tents, where vendors selling food and weapons were struggling to sell. In the distance, the sound of chariots, the neighing of horses, and the commotion of a large number of people were heard again, and a new team had arrived.

Zi Chuanxiu smiled bitterly: This is more appropriate to say that it is a military camp, but rather a bazaar.

Through the dense tent complex, Zichuan Xiu entered the large tent of the Chinese army. With the expansion of the strength of the Far Eastern Army, more and more residents of various ethnic groups participated in their own army, but their status in the army was low. In addition to the orcs, thousands of snakes, dwarves, jīng spirits, and dragonmen have also joined their own army. They are a minority race compared to the orcs, but they are desperately seeking a voice in the military, believing that the situation in which the Far Eastern Coalition is under the exclusive command of the orc family (actually Shikawa Shu) is not normal, nor does it conform to the principle of mínzhǔ.

Zi Chuanxiu sneered, he remembered Sterling's famous saying: "Once the army has a thought, it is a harbinger of the death of the country." "The army is not a place where the mínzhǔ principle applies. However, in order to seek the unity of the whole army, Shikawa Xiu finally made a concession and persuaded the orcs to establish the "Military Council of the Far Eastern Alliance", which was the highest leadership body of the whole army, and was attended by representatives of various ethnic groups in proportion to their numbers.

Now, the newly formed committee is going to work in order to show its existence.

The air smelled of cháo dampness from leather armor, and the participants sat around a red stove: his assistant Shirakawa, the orc leaders Busen, Bran, and Vera, as well as the new representative of the snake clan, Monroe, the representative of the dragon clan, the representative of the dwarf clan, and the representative of the jīng spirit monster - Shikawa Xiu didn't know his name yet, anyway, the short man had been cowering in the corner without making a sound, and Shikawa Xiu didn't bother to remember his name.

When he walked in, no one noticed him. All eyes were focused on the quarrel that was taking place. He realized that the atmosphere was not very friendly.

"Coward!" the leader of the snake clan, Soth, was roaring, his voice sharp and piercing: "The army actually fled without a fight, and abandoned sixteen important cities in a row! Who gave the order? We will hold him accountable!"

As soon as Soth's voice fell, Shirakawa's clear voice immediately sounded: "We are not fleeing! This is an active strategic retreat!"

"Seeing the enemy retreat without a fight, this is an escape!" Soth roared angrily: "There is absolutely no such coward in our Hart tribe!

("They were right.") Zichuan Xiu muttered quietly. )

"This is to drain the enemy's strength!" Shirakawa's voice was calm, but Shirokawa saw that sweat was already pouring from her forehead. Alone to deal with the accusations of so many people, her pressure is very heavy: "You can calculate, every time the demon clan occupies a city, he has to leave the necessary army to garrison. If the demons had left a minimum garrison in each city - for example, a brigade of 500 men, then they would have to defend 16 cities, and they would have to remove a full 8,000 men from the main army......!

"But is it necessary to do so? Our army is much stronger than the enemy. Ruzo, the representative of the dwarven clan, also spoke out to question Shirakawa, his voice deep and muffled, like a precursor to an earthquake coming from the cellar, and his tone was milder than that of Soth, but the aggressive taste did not diminish much.

Bai Chuan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a little tiredness: "In terms of strength at this stage, we are not stronger than the demon race......"

A timid voice joined the debate, the representative of the jīng spirit monster who had not spoken all this time: "According to the statistics, as of yesterday, our total strength was about 400,000. And the strength of the demon clan is only 100,000. ”

"Isn't it obvious who is strong and who is weak?" "The leader of the snake clan, Soth, looked proud because he had the support of so many people, "That human king of light, what is his purpose in doing this? Is he trying to defeat the demons, or is there some other purpose?"

The leader of the dwarf clan slammed the table hard, and let out a dull echo: "We Far Easterners, why should we listen to the call of a human being? Well, Zoe people, you should think about it! The commander of the Far Eastern army should only be our glorious Far Easterners!"

Zichuan Xiu suddenly realized that this was a battle for his own command. The Dragonmen have been silent, but looking at their expressions, I'm afraid they won't be on their side. Those new races and soldiers were not believers in the temple, nor had they gone through the difficult years of the beginning of the rebel army, and did not know the merits of Shikawa Xiu. He commanded the armies of the Far Easterners as an outsider, and there was always a voice against him in the ranks. It's just that he has been fighting and winning successes, and these voices have been suppressed. But now, because he had abandoned sixteen cities in a row, many people in the team could not understand, and even the old subordinates who had fought with him now began to whisper.

Zi Chuanxiu only felt a burst of sadness: hearing such an obvious provocation, only Busen came out to persuade a few words: "Don't quarrel, everyone, they are all comrades-in-arms, what is the ...... of this" but no one listened to him. The half-orc comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side with him and died to death, Vera, Bran and the others lowered their eyes and said nothing, leaving Shirakawa alone to fight there.

Zi Chuanxiu felt a burst of sadness: although he did his best for them and was born and died, the other party did not regard him as his own. If Old Delen was here, he would definitely not sit idly by, and he would have rolled up his sleeves and beaten those hateful Soths a long time ago. But alas, old Delenn is not a member of the military council, and he is not qualified to participate in a meeting of this level......

In a trance, he didn't listen carefully to the next quarrel, but felt that Bai Chuan and the leaders of those races were arguing more and more fiercely, and the tone of both sides became more and more sharp. He was stunned, and heard the snake leader shouting sharply, "We drowned the demon army just by spitting!"

"If we're in the position of apes attacking humans, what's the point of numerical superiority?" Shikawa said coldly, striding through the door.

Several half-orc officers jumped up first and saluted: "Your Highness!"

Zi Chuanxiu nodded, and his gaze swept to the leaders of the snake clan and the dwarf clan again. Although they were not inferior, they couldn't bear it anymore under Zichuan Xiu's sharp gaze, and even the silent dragon clan seemed to feel a huge uneasiness in Zichuan Xiu, and slowly stood up one after another, and reluctantly greeted: "His Royal Highness the King of Light." ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled contemptuously and replied lightly, "Hello everyone. What were you talking about? ”

No one spoke up. Several half-orc officers fidgeted, and the representatives of the snake clan and the dwarves, who were still arguing just now, were now obediently silent, their eyes revealing panic, and the representatives of the dragonmen stared thoughtfully at Zi Chuanxiu and remained silent.

Shirakawa breathed a sigh of relief, and Shirokawa Xiu finally came. Even if he didn't say a word, the committee members who were clamoring just now didn't even dare to let out a fart. After all, this is the army he created single-handedly, and no one can ignore his existence. This is the difference in strength. She remembered an old proverb: "A cat is a cat on the roof, and a tiger is a tiger no matter how thin it is." ”

Finally, the commander of the army, the half-orc Busen, bowed slightly: "Your Highness, we are discussing tomorrow's decisive battle. They-" He tilted his chin slightly in the direction of the snake leader Soth, a gesture that showed his contempt for him, "They think your battle proposal is unacceptable. ”

Shikawa Shu could barely believe his ears. As early as the beginning of the Demon Clan's attack, Zichuan Xiu had already made a complete battle plan: abandon the weakly defended cities along the line and lure the Demon Clan to disperse their forces. In the city of Kearney, the two men of Bson and Shirakawa organized the defense and defended it, and he personally led the main army to wait outside. He estimated that once he found out that there were rebel troops in the city of Kearney, the noisy Lu Di would definitely attack with all his might, but the walls of Kearney were strong and the food was abundant, and it should not be difficult for the remaining troops to hold on for ten days and a half months. At the same time, he personally led the main army of Jīng Rui to cut off the food and grass and back roads of the demon clan outside, waiting for the demon clan to meet under the city wall and have no food, grass and reinforcements, after a long time, the demon clan will inevitably not be able to support it. And he planned to take the opportunity of the demoralization of the demons to fight against them when they retreated-this plan, Zichuan Xiu thought that he would have at least seven or eight points of certainty. But now, nearly 100,000 demon crusaders are less than a hundred kilometers away from here, and tomorrow they will start encountering and fighting a decisive battle, and this group of bastards actually asked for a change of plan before this battle?

He suppressed his anger and asked Soth as calmly as possible, "Well, what do you say?"

Soth swallowed. Somehow, as soon as he saw Zi Chuanxiu's dark eyes, he felt inexplicable fear, especially when he was against him now, he was so scared to death. But he still had the courage to say: "The intelligence has come, and the strength that the enemy can finally put into the decisive battle will not exceed 100,000, including more than 40,000 troops from the Far East, and the real demon army is less than 60,000." And here we are, there are 150,000 regular troops alone. We don't have to be so dodgy to fight guerrilla warfare with the demons, and we can go forward to meet them openly. It's going to be an overwhelming victory!"

"Is it the victory that overwhelms xìng?" a sneer floated on the corner of Zi Chuanxiu's mouth: "Who won against whom?"

"There is no doubt that the victory belongs to our great Far Eastern Alliance!" Sos emphasized again: "Our army is 400,000, and the enemy only has less than 60,000 demon troops, who is stronger, you can see at a glance!"

"The enemy has 100,000 troops, and even if you exclude the 40,000 native troops in the Far East, they still have at least 60,000 staunch demon soldiers. The predecessor of this army was the Jīng Rui Legion of the Demon Kingdom, the Lu Di Legion, they had won more with less in Moon Bay, and defeated more than 100,000 human troops in one fell swoop, the soldiers were all veterans, well-trained, disciplined, fierce and good at fighting, and a type of jīng good equipment, especially they had a number of cavalry teams, and their combat power was strong, even surpassing the human cavalry.

And what about us? Our army has little training, less equipment, less weapons, no trained archers, no horses...... Whatever we can say, we lack nothing. The units were formed in a hurry, and the soldiers were hastily assembled, most of them had no combat experience, and they lacked tacit understanding and trust with each other. The officers took up their posts in a hurry, and they did not even know the number of people in their own troops, and the order and discipline of the troops were extremely poor, and they were no different from bandits. We don't even have a cavalry team that can handle it, and fighting on the plains, the impact of the cavalry is crucial.

As for the people's army, the rabble who did their own thing, they went into battle with their wives, children, and grandmothers, and they picked a stone from the ground as their weapon. ”

Zi Chuanxiu glanced at Sos quietly and said calmly: "You are right, who is stronger, you can see it at a glance." Tomorrow, let's prepare to drown the demons by spitting. ”

Soth's face flushed. There was silence for a while, and after a while, Lu Zor of the Dwarven Race spoke up: "How can the human army compare with our glorious Far Eastern Coalition Army? Not to mention that we have 400,000 troops! Four or five against one, will we still lose?"

Zichuan Xiu was tired for a while. War is not mathematics, and that is the kind of low-level mistake that military laymen love to make. In a war, the balance of power between the two sides is not simply a comparison of numbers. 400,000 to 100,000 can never simply be divided by the common divisor and seen as four against one. As the number of people increases, the numerical advantage becomes less and less obvious. The side with more people can only say that Zhan has a certain advantage, but victory depends on the combined effect of a variety of factors: the morale of the soldiers on both sides, the comparison of weapons, the level of training, the integrity of intelligence, the speed of information transmission, the command ability of the generals, and the completeness of logistics and supplies.

"Let's vote on which option to take. The leader of the snake clan, Sostiyì, said, with a self-righteous look on his face.

Hideri Shikawa ignored him, and when he said this, he must be sure that he would get the majority of the votes.

"Five percent of the organized can easily suppress the ninety-five percent of the unorganized. Zi Chuanxiu explained to them as patiently as possible: "Even if you unify all the soldiers and horses of the demon clan in the Far East, the total is only about 350,000, and the more than 10 million Far Easterners have been suppressed by them for a whole year and dare not resist. At that time, the cavalry army led by Stirling was less than 30,000 men, and the 600,000-strong Far Eastern army was still defeated. The number of people is not a problem, the key is to look at the power of the entire organization. Although our army is large in number, most of them are hastily combined by civilian army and guerrilla units, but they are not suitable for regular warfare. A head-on battle with the demons, that's exactly what Lu Di has always expected us to do. ”

The leader of the Vera team coughed dryly: "Your Highness of Light, we also know that tomorrow's battle will not be easy, and we will face great challenges. But we defend our homeland and resist the oppression of the demons, and we are the teachers of justice. The god Audi will bless our warriors, and the rebels will win!"

"Justice will prevail!" the crowd sang in unison, "We will win!"

Shikawa Shu was very surprised and stared deeply at Vera. He didn't expect that his partner who had been born and died together, the loyal Vera, was also on their side.

He got up lazily and strode out of the tent, leaving behind him a sentence: "Whatever you want." ”。

Several voices behind him were shouting at the same time: "Your Excellency!", "Your Highness!" But he did not look back, and sneered in his heart: Justice will prevail? This sentence is generally understood in this way: What is victorious is justice.
