Chapter 3 Historical Reference

Lu Di's disappearance was eventually confirmed to be a defection, which caused an uproar on both sides;

The first reaction of the Demon God Castle was: "Impossible!", and the second reaction was: "Impossible!" The solidified demon clan could not accept this fact: the kingdom was the highest political and military commander in the Far East, a high-ranking general from the Senea tribe, and a high-ranking nobleman who was favored by the Demon God Emperor, actually joined the army and took refuge in the Far East exile Caokou? Since Lu Di was also a general from the Senea tribe, Lu Di's surrender made the Senea tribe, as the ruling class, a laughing stock among the thirteen tribes, and his prestige was dealt a heavy blow.

The Demon God Emperor was furious, because it was Prince Caton who elected Emperor Lu as the governor of the Far East, Prince Caton kowtowed several times and failed to clear the anger of the God Emperor, to the point of almost committing suicide to clear his mind, and finally was deprived of the right to inherit the throne and was confined for introspection.

Prince Karan hummed a song all the way, happily telling the news of Yun Qianxue. Even Yun Qianxue, who had always hated Emperor Lu, was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time. In his estimate, after the matter was revealed, Lu Di would either commit suicide or be captured obediently, and he would never have imagined that he would defect to the rebels. That stupid, black, coarse, reckless and unwitting guy was so greedy for life and afraid of death, which was really beyond his expectations.

"History is like a wheel, going round and round, always the same axes are always repeating, and the events that occur are often strikingly similar. In fact, we should have been a little bit tired of it, didn't Lei Hong, the Far Eastern commander of the Zichuan family, also defect to the rebels in the Far East when he had no way out?" Hearing the news, Princess Cardin said lightly, not looking surprised.

Cardin was the only person within the Demon God Kingdom who could have thought of the possibility of Lu Di rebelling in advance. was ordered to be killed by the Emperor of God, and if Emperor Lu didn't want to die, there were only two ways left, one was to raise troops in the Far East, and the other was to defect to the rebels. But most of the garrisons in the Far East are the descendants of the gods and emperors from the Senea tribe, and there are also Ling Buxu, a famous general whose prestige and merits are not under Emperor Lu, if they want to openly rebel, Emperor Lu will not be able to command them.

Princess Cardin guessed, but she didn't file a lawsuit with her husband or father. Because she knew that when the assassins failed to intercept them, Lu Di must have known that the matter was exposed, and no matter what measures were taken, it was too late to take any measures.

Prince Kahlan was dissatisfied: "Since you have guessed, you should tell me!"

Princess Cardin smiled and said nothing. She thought, since there is nothing she can do about it, it is better not to say it. The very act of having to report bad news is bad news in itself.

Yun Qianxue asked his wife for advice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you think, how will the situation develop next?"

"Yunjun, you are so humble, you should be able to see it. Princess Cardin said with a smile: "As I have just said, history is often strikingly similar, and when a country has an internal rebellion, it often causes external forces to covet and interfere. Second brother, think about it, when the Zichuan family rebelled in the Far East, what happened next?"

"The Zichuan family has lost the barrier of the Far East Auxiliary Legion, and the next thing is that my Protoss will move westward ......" Karan suddenly paused, and looked at Yun Qianxue with a face.

"God, old sister, don't you say that the Zichuan family will ......?"

Yun Qianxue expressed skepticism: "But the Zichuan family has just been defeated, they shouldn't have the ability to interfere in the affairs of the Far East, right?"

Cardin thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "I have lived in the capital of the Zichuan family, dìdū, for a long time, and I have a deep understanding of their situation. Yun Jun, second brother, you all underestimate the strength of the Zichuan family too much. Although they lost a large number of troops in the last war in the Far East, most of those troops were rabble people's troops and second-line reserves, and the frontier troops of nearly 100 divisions and regiments on the long western border line of the Zichuan family, as well as the huge number of local garrisons in the western provinces, remained intact.

"I've met some of the high-ranking generals of the Zichuan family, such as Sterling, Di Lin, Lin Bing, the dead Ge Yingxing, and Zichuan Xiu—oh, he's dead too. To put it bluntly, compared to the generals of our race, the generals of the human race are much stronger, and they know better what war is and what strategy is. We were able to win the battle in the Far East, not because we were strong, but because they were caught off guard at the time when they were at their weakest. Do you remember? During the Ge Yingxing period, our clan had crusaded against the Zichuan family four times, and all of them returned in vain at the hands of Ge Yingxing, which proves that the strength of the human army is not as bad as we imagined - at least not as we claimed: three Protoss soldiers are worthy of ten human soldiers!" The individual combat ability of the Protoss soldiers is slightly stronger, but in group battles, the tactical command ability and level of human officers are much higher than ours, and it is easy to offset our advantage in individual combat. Humanity has another advantage, their weapons are much more technologically advanced than ours, and their generals are adept at using this advantage to the fullest. Remember the battle of Pai? Our Protoss couldn't take a single lonely city with millions of troops, but if it was a human army besieging them, they would have blasted the city to pieces with catapults, Molotov cocktails, and crossbows.

"The weakness of the Zichuan family today is mostly due to the fact that his internal open and secret struggles are tilted against each other, which consumes their jīng strength. As long as they can wake up to this, their potential is limitless. Because among the three major forces of human beings on the mainland, the Zichuan family has the largest population, with more than 130 million, and their military production capacity is the most powerful. With such a population base, if they think twice about using their forces, they can easily restore their military establishment of two million. ”

"But there are still Windwinders in the west to contain them!"

"Liufeng Xishan's life is not long, and when he dies, there will be civil strife in the Liufeng family. At that time, the Zichuan family, which had lost the threat from the west, would inevitably become strong again. At that time, he will become a real threat to our Protoss - in fact, even if it is the current Far East rebellion, I doubt that there is any trace of the Zichuan family's meddling in this. ”

"How so?"

"The races of the Far East are brave and good at fighting, but their political and organizational skills are not good, and the social organization is still maintained at the level of clan society, and the various tribes are suspicious and suspicious of each other, and even within the same tribe, they are divided into many small tribal groups, scattered like scattered sand. But now, in less than a year, a few scattered gangsters have become a large and highly centripetal united force group across provinces and counties, which requires very high political and organizational skills and leadership skills. I find it hard to believe that the Far Eastern race alone could have achieved such an achievement without the covert influence of foreign forces.

"The rebels are not the kind of outcasts who have no ambitions, and their goal is not to raid and rob homes, but to divide our land and completely break the Far East from the realm of the kingdom. And who is most beneficial to the division of the Far East? In the future, it would not be surprising if the Zichuan family made a comeback. ”

Of course, this is just a little insight on my own, and it may not be accurate. Finally, Princess Cardin said humbly.

Such a deep understanding and analysis of the general situation of the world, such a keen insight and sharp insight, even the most sophisticated politicians in the kingdom may not be able to do it. Kahlan was not surprised, for he had known that her sister was a rare genius when it came to scheming.

He stood up: "Old girl, you are much stronger than that black sand who pretends to be a ghost—that guy hasn't been anywhere lately? In the future, if I can sit in that position, I will definitely ask you to be a military advisor. How about it, will you help me?"

Cardin smiled: "You are my brother, who else can I help if I don't help you?"

Kahlan smiled "haha", but the laughter was not joyful, and nodded so-so: "Let's go!"

Yun Qianxue hurriedly got up to see off the guests, and sent them to the door, and when he came back, Cardin said to him with a solemn expression: "Yunjun, after the eldest brother had an accident, the second brother got carried away, and this kind of mentality will cause a big disaster." You'd better not be so tight with him anymore. ”

Yun Qianxue was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Second Highness is just a little happy, and he didn't say anything excessive!" But I thought in my heart: My fate has long been closely linked to Second Highness, and now I want to retreat, it's too late.

782, June 24, Far East, Mok Town, Tussauds Province

The sun broke out of the clouds, but the sunlight still looked dark. The sky was gray and cloudy.

"It's going to rain. Looking out the window of the temporary headquarters set up in Mok Town, Shikawa Shu muttered.

The staff of the command sat on wooden boxes by the wall and talked quietly. A large battle map hangs on the wall, and the red arrows representing the Far Eastern Coalition Army and the black arrows representing the demons are intricately intertwined and entangled on the map. In the past six months, the rapid expansion of the Far Eastern army has greatly enhanced the strength of the King of Light, but the consequence is that the original organizational structure can no longer adapt to such a huge army, especially when mobilizing the huge armed forces of nearly 300,000 troops to conduct a major campaign, the shortcomings of the weak command force of the base camp are immediately exposed: Nearly 100 teams and nearly 20 large and small campaign groups with different tasks are a task with a terrifying workload just to grasp the exact position and route of each unit, not to mention the need to accurately issue combat orders to them according to the rapidly changing shape。

If it is a large-scale regular army of the Zichuan family, then there is no such thing as zài. Each regular army often has a group of professional staff officers, who are specially responsible for assisting the commander's command, but the Far East rebel army lacks such a group of talents, and there is a shortage of experienced professional officers, especially staff officers. Although a group of relatively literate seven soldiers were hastily selected from the Xiuzi battalion to serve in auxiliary positions, they were obviously not experienced enough. Seeing that they had submitted their battle plan for the remnants of Emperor Lu, Zi Chuanxiu smiled dumbly.

The main army of 120,000 men had to suddenly make a detour of 140 kilometers to the enemy's back to launch a flank attack, but they were only given less than three days to complete the deployment of the campaign and their route. According to Zichuan Xiu's experience, even the most sharp zhōngyāng army of the Zichuan family would take at least a week to complete such a huge campaign move. What made Shikawa even more ridiculous was that on the prescribed march route, 80,000 men had to pass a wooden bridge that could only accommodate two people in five hours, and the bridge was still within the bow and arrow range of the Tran Fortress. Moreover, there was no flanking force on the marching route, and if the troops were attacked during the march, things would turn into a disaster.

Shikawa smiled wryly and threw the report into the trash.

Therefore, the burden is almost entirely on Zichuan Xiu.

Zi Chuan Xiu knew that in terms of people's management ability, the most suitable lower-level command units should be four to six, and at present there were too many combat units in the Far Eastern Army, but in view of the complex internal structure of the Far Eastern Allied Army, if the army was too concentrated, it would cause the consequences of warlordization and factionalization, and he did not dare to take this risk.

He walked out of the room at the headquarters, which was also dark outside, and the sun was obscured. A low rumbling thunder could be heard in the distance, and a summer rainstorm was coming. In front of the house where the headquarters of the Shirakawa camp was located, the soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion wearing the uniforms of the Shirakawa family were patrolling back and forth, and the security work was quite strict, as he had explained in advance.

In the distance, on the road at the edge of the village, two columns of half-orc cavalry were advancing through the road of the town, the cavalrymen were clad in animal skins, with the golden sun epaulettes of the rebels on their shoulders, carrying javelins, followed by infantry archers. Zichuan Xiu recognized that this was a half-orc cavalry commanded by Dekun, a half-orc in Bulu Village. That impetuous hairy boy has now become a team leader. He commanded a half-orc cavalry force of 6,000 men and was assigned to serve under Shirakawa.

If the human soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion are the personal guards of Shikawa Xiu among the humans, then the orcs in Bulu Village are Zichuan Xiu's cronies among the orcs. In order to repay them for saving their lives that year, Zichuan Xiu was kind to them, and vigorously promoted generals and officers among the young people of Bulu Village. Now, most of the more than 600 orcs who participated in the rescue of Zichuan Xiu have been promoted to junior officers. In addition to them, the soldiers of the two teams that participated in the uprising also received special care, and many middle and senior officers at the level of captain and team leader were born in the original rebel army. This move was called "The King of Light is cronyism again" by the snake clan. Zichuan Xiu knew in his heart that it was one thing, but the army needed cohesion and centripetal force to have combat effectiveness, and he really urgently needed to establish a force loyal to him in the army. Since the young men of Bulu Village are no inferior to anyone else in terms of merit and talent, what reason should they not give priority to promoting such a group of subordinates who are loyal to them? Although none of them have yet served as senior officers at the rank of regiment commander, Zichuan Xiu, who has been familiar with military life for a long time, knows very well that compared with the seemingly majestic figures of marshals and generals, the team leaders at the grassroots level are the real power figures who actually control the army.

Zi Chuan Xiu didn't want such a thing to happen, but the government was often ruthless, and because of Ge Yingxing's experience, he had to prepare for the worst-case scenario: if a certain general around him was bribed by the demons and had an intention to rebel, once the matter was rushed, he only needed to give an order to the team leaders of his subordinates: "From now on, the transfer of a qiē army will be under my direct command!" The general has completely transferred the troops, and there is no way to carry out any yīn scheme.

Too many things have happened in the past two days: the movement of the black sand, the surrender of Emperor Lu, and the new reinforcement army of the demon clan is about to arrive in the Far East under the leadership of Rus, and things have happened one after another. In particular, Heisha's ambiguous words when he left faintly hinted at a possibility that frightened Zichuan Xiu, but the current military urgency made him have no time to take care of this, which made Zichuan Xiu restless.

Will accepting Lu Di's surrender bring trouble to itself? Once the matter is leaked, will the army accept this fact?

Does the Demon Kingdom already know about the rebellion in the Far East?What measures will the Terrible Demon God Emperor take against him?

Did the Rus' regiment come alone, or was it just the vanguard of a large suppression force? What was the strength of the suppression force? Is Zìyóu in the Far East, just showing the dawn of hope, about to fall into the catastrophe of the war connection?

The desk work had accumulated a thick stack, but he didn't have the heart to deal with it. In the end, he simply put aside the pile of work, walked to the gate of Shirakawa's camp, and walked back and forth quickly, but did not go in: inside, Shirakawa was leading the personnel of the secret service to conduct a surprise interrogation of Lu Di and other demon officers, and it had been going on for more than an hour.

At the door, an empathetic staff officer stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you need me to go in and ask Lord Shirakawa about the progress?"

Zi Chuanxiu nodded, and the officer walked inside, but after taking a few steps, Zi Chuanxiu stopped him again: "Come back!" He waved his hand anxiously: "Don't interfere with the interrogation." The officer was stunned.

Zhan Lei, the captain of the personal guard, walked in from outside and reported, "Your Excellency. ”

Zi Chuanxiu raised her eyelids and looked at him silently: "How are things going?"

"My lord, things are going very well. Seeing Lu Di's warrant, they immediately obeyed it. In accordance with your instructions, they have all been brought to the line of our army and protected, and now they are guarded by General Siga, a total of two thousand three hundred people, seven of whom are women and children. ”

Zichuan Xiu wondered: "What's going on?"

The ancient thunder god was embarrassed and whispered: "They are Lu Di's wife and concubine and Xiao A." ”

Zi Chuanxiu laughed dumbly, he didn't expect that Lu Di also had such a human side, this person who slaughtered countless women and babies, also has a wife and a little ah?

"How's the secrecy going?"

"Lord Hui, this mission was carried out by your personal guard and the human sappers of General Shirakawa's direct division, and there were no orc and snake soldiers participating. General Siga has already ordered the dead soldiers, and anyone who dares to leak this matter to the outside world will be killed. On the way, a patrol under the command of General Busen stopped us for questioning, and I had no choice but to show them your warrant, announcing that this group of demon captives was captured by us, and they let them go on the spot. The outside world shouldn't get the news. ”

Zichuan Xiu nodded: "It's okay." "It was his own idea to use human soldiers, and the sappers of the Xiuzi battalion followed him for a long time, so they didn't need to worry about leaks, and in addition, their hatred for Lu Di was not as strong as that of the inhabitants of the Far East.

He did not point out the inadequacies of Gooray's actions. When encountering a patrol, it is enough to tell the other party that this is a captive of the demon clan, and there is no need to show his warrant, this kind of behavior will only make the other party suspicious: Why do you need to labor the King of Light to give an order in person after catching a thousand or so captives? This is equivalent to clearly telling the other party that this group of captives is unusual. But fortunately, it was Busen's subordinates, if it was Suo Jin of the Snake Clan or the troops of the Dwarf Clan, then the other party would be so loud that even every ant could hear it.

As soon as Lu Di surrendered, Zi Chuanxiu immediately sent his own decision to Elder Budan of Yun Province in detail. He believed that with the wisdom of Elder Boudin, he should be able to see his good intentions. Killing Lu Di is just a painful and painful knife, which has no impact on the overall situation, but leaving him is a very useful chess piece. You can rely on him to learn about the military affairs of the demons and listen to secrets. In terms of politics, he is also very useful, he can bewitch the hearts of the demons and shake their fighting spirit - even when he is forced to do so, he can also use Lu Di's head as a condition for negotiating with the demons. If Elder Boudin could approve of his actions, he would simply say, "God Audi wants us to forgive our enemies with a generous and compassionate heart." Accept Lu Di's surrender, if you don't believe it, please read the prophetic poem, the human god has already written it clearly!" The orc officers and soldiers, who accounted for the vast majority of the army, would immediately kowtow and agree without saying a word, but before the elder made a clear statement, he must keep this matter strictly confidential, otherwise there would be a danger of shaking the morale of the army.

After thinking for a while, Zichuan Xiu instructed Zhan Lei: "You go in and sue Sù Baichuan, let her sue Sù Emperor Lu, his clansmen, wife and children are already under the protection of our army, so he doesn't have to worry anymore, rest assured." ”

Guray was ordered to go in.

In the afternoon, the sky was even darker, and the clouds were a little frighteningly low. Zichuan Xiu was taking a nap when he was woken up by the notified guard: "Report to Your Highness, Shirakawa General Che urgently asks to see you!"

Before the guards could finish the report, Bai Chuan had already rushed into the room with a gust of wind, his cheeks were crimson, and his voice was a little excited: "My lord, Lu Di has already said it all! Great harvest, this is a great harvest!"

"What's going on?" asked Zi Chuanxiu as soon as he sat up, he was also anxious to wait.

"The defense of the demons in the Tran Fortress is unprecedentedly weak! The garrison of the entire fortress is less than 3,000 people, and almost all of them are Lu Di's subordinates, and now their army is discouraged due to Lu Di's defection. Rudy said that as long as we send a large army with him, he will be sure that the defenders of the fortress will surrender without blood, and hand the fortress to us in one —— one piece, but we will move quickly, because Rus's troops are also rushing towards the fortress of Tran. ”

Shikawa Xiu immediately came to his senses. He asked Shirakawa: ... How far is Tanri from the fortress?"

More than 230 miles, if there is a familiar guide, the cavalry can arrive in ten hours! But the question now is......" Bai Chuan hesitated a little: "I'm not sure, what if what Lu Di said is true? What if he specifically wants to trick us into an ambush?"

"Act now!" Zi Chuanxiu did not hesitate, Lu Di's clansmen, wife and children were in his hands, he believed that he did not have this Zhanzi to deceive himself, even if it was a risk, he confronted the demon clan with weak forces, if he didn't take the risk, it would be hopeless. He asked Shirakawa, "What troops can be dispatched immediately?"

"It's nap time, and the soldiers are mostly resting...... It will take time to redeploy the troops. Dekun's 7th Far Eastern Regiment was a cavalry group, and they had just passed through the town of Mok and had not yet set up camp, so they could be asked to set off immediately. There are also two brigades of the directly subordinate division of the Xiuyu Battalion that are on duty, and they should also be able to be used, and your lord's jǐng guard regiment is also fully equipped......"

"That's enough!" Zichuan Xiu said: "Blow the marching trumpet!" I will take these troops to set off first, you take the rest of the troops to follow, inform Bran and Busen to bring the Chinese army to follow up and support, and the troops must move quickly!"

The white light outside the window flashed, and there was a loud thunderclap, which shook the ears of the two. Huge raindrops fell viciously from the sky, crackling and hitting the windowsill, and the water splashed. After a long time, it finally started to rain. Shirakawa frowned, and said hatefully, "It's time for this rain to really fall! The muddy road will slow down the movement of the troops. ”

"Same. Zi Chuanxiu stood up and looked at the vast white spot outside the window: "Heavy rain will also slow down the movement of the Rus troops." Now it's up to whose troops are more tenacious and determined. He looked at Shirakawa with a gentle gaze: "Please, Shirakawa." ”

For some reason, Shirakawa had a feeling of tears in his eyes. She saluted: "Yes, we will definitely be able to take Tran!"

The loud rallying horn overwhelmed the sound of the rainstorm, and there was a bit of haste in the sound. The seven half-orc soldiers covered their heads with hats, and ran out of their tents to ask each other: "What's the matter? Are the demons killed?" The officers gathered their troops one by one with their voices in their voices: "Come out! Quick, emergency assembly order!" The half-orcs ran out one after another, holding their heads in their hands, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Are the palace people crazy?

In contrast, human soldiers are much more self-conscious. As soon as they heard the rally order of "Di Di", they rushed out of their respective tents like lightning and rushed into the porch, looking for their warhorses. Because there were so many people going on at the same time, for a while, the scene was a bit chaotic, the voices were noisy, there were bursts of neighing horses, round eyes and open mouths, everyone was shouting something: "Get out of the way!" "Hell, you're in my way!", "Over there, borrow it!" As a result, the sound mixed with the sound of the rain and wind, and nothing could be heard.

A part of the cavalry who got the war horses gathered on the main road in the village, and the whole town was like a hornet's nest that had been kicked hard, and the whole place was busy, and the streets and alleys were full of soldiers running around, half-orcs, humans, snakes, jīng spirits, The dwarves, the various troops were mixed together, the main road was crowded, the people who were woken up in the afternoon were exposed to the violent rain, one by one they were so angry as if they were filled with fire, and a few human soldiers even fought with the orc soldiers who were blocking the way, despite the whining of the military horn above their heads. A passing cavalry officer suppressed the little sāo chaos with a whip. But more often than not, it was crowded, and the soldiers ran in a panic from east to west, and then from west back to east, but they couldn't find their troops and superiors. The officer called in vain the names of his men, but no one answered.

Looking at this chaotic scene, Shirakawa frowned: "If the demon clan takes advantage of this time to fight, it will really be over!"

Zi Chuan Xiu couldn't laugh silently, his army was not the kind of army known for its strict discipline, this kind of chaotic scene was expected by him, and he had been prepared for it for a long time. In the chaotic streets and alleys, dozens of heralds sent by Zichuan Xiu were loudly announcing along the streets:

"Follow the flag, quick, follow the flag, His Royal Highness the King of Light is right in front of us!"

"Brethren of the infantry, make way for brethren of the cavalry!" the cry came through the vast rain curtain to the ears of the armored soldiers, and became indistinct. Every few tens of meters, a cavalryman carrying the banner of the golden sun led the way: "Go this way! Walk with me!" Batch after batch of cavalry did not know what was going on, and in a daze, they followed the herald and rushed out of the town, the horses' hooves splashed muddy water, and groups of men and horses threw themselves into the vast rain curtain and gradually disappeared.

"It's time for me to go. Zi Chuanxiu put on the hat, and with a whistle, the personal guards led by Gu Lei immediately got on their horses and dressed up. Zichuan Xiuzheng was about to get on the horse, and a voice came from behind him: "Wait a minute." ”

Bai Chuan took out his raincoat and put it on him, and said softly: "My lord, be more careful, don't be too forced." For us, for the Far East, you are more important than a hundred Tran Fortresses. ”

Zichuan Xiu was stunned: "Shirakawa, since when did you become so concerned about my safety?"

"From the day you borrowed a thousand silver coins from me. Shirakawa said quietly.

In the vast rain curtain, in the vast jungle road of Tussauds, a cavalry team was advancing, the flag had been rolled up, they moved as fast as lightning, the hooves roared, thousands of rapidly churning horses' hooves trampled the road into muddy water, and the sound of metal sonorous collision and human voices and horses chirped, this sound through the rain curtain made people feel unreal. The evasion team was already moving at a very fast pace, but the shrill roar still came from the front of the team from time to time: "Hurry, hurry, the target is the Tran Fortress!" The rain crackled on the heads of the sappers, and in order to speed up and avoid the oncoming raindrops, the cavalrymen all bowed down, their soaked clothes clinging to their bodies under their armor, and the galloping horses were steaming in the rain, like a layer of smoke.

"My lord!" a cavalry quickly overrode the line and chased after Zichuan Xiu.

Shikawa Shu slowed down, opened the eyepatch of his helmet, brushed away the wet hair on his forehead and looked back. The cavalry approached Shikawa Xiu's mount. Because of the noisy voice, he was already leaning over Zi Chuan Xiu's ear and shouting loudly, but the voice was very vague, so that Zi Chuan Xiu could only rely on the shape of the other party's mouth to judge what he was going to say: "The officer training team of the Second Army has arrived at the factory and has joined this team!"

Zi Chuanxiu stopped his horse and went to the small slope on the side of the road to put up an eyepatch to watch. Sure enough, in the white rain, living in the rear of their own team, the cavalry team of black sè quickly approached their team in several directions, and each team was like a long dragon of black sè, with no end in sight. Among them, a group of black-clad cavalry had caught up with the rear of their own ranks, following behind the rear troops. Just as countless streams merge into the dam, and the dam flows into the sea, one after another joins the ranks, and the troops, which were a little thin at the time of their departure, are rapidly strengthened. The iron cavalry was sonorous, the hooves were roaring, and in the rain curtain, the galloping cavalry corps looked extremely magnificent, as if showing a large army.

Shikawa smiled and gave the officer a thumbs up and gestured for approval. The Xiuzi battalion lived up to its more than a year of training, and after receiving an urgent notice, they completed the assembly within 20 minutes and quickly caught up with the advance team they personally led. With them, they will be more confident in completing the task of capturing the fortress. Although this time the action started hastily and seemed reckless, Shikawa Shu knew from his own experience that many times, those actions that had been planned in advance and seemed to be well-prepared were often aborted due to some unexpected factors, but some actions that were inadvertently decided on the impromptu were easy to succeed. The reason is very simple, what you can't think of, the enemy will not be prepared for it either.

An hour later, Roger's regiment's officer teaching team also arrived. Immediately afterwards, the officer corps and three cavalry teams of the regiment directly under Shikawa Xiu also caught up with the brigade. The ranks galloped, resting only twice in the evening and at noon the next day in the jungle so that the horses could rest and survive, and the cavalry slept on the floor. When he jumped off the horse, even Zichuan Xiu's body couldn't eat, his whole body was sore, his feet were numb, and his thighs were worn out, and his heart ached. Considering the need to maintain the corresponding combat effectiveness of the troops, he had to announce that the rest would be extended by three hours, and the soldiers all cheered: "Long live the King of Light!"

In the afternoon of the next day, the team left the jungle and entered an open area, and the rain began to fall again.

The guide announced, "There's the Tran Fortress ahead!"—but without saying it, Shikawa Shu also saw the gray behemoth towering in the vast raindrops. The Yīn Shadow of the Tran Fortress put a lot of pressure on Zichuan Xiu, thinking that he had neither infantry nor siege equipment, and wanted to take this second largest fortress in the Far East after the Valen Fortress by cavalry alone, whether he was dreaming in vain.

He took a deep breath, pulled down the blindfold of his helmet, and instructed the herald, "Bring that demon up." "Lu Di's surrender has been classified as a top secret by Zichuan Xiu, and only a very small number of the highest-ranking human generals have learned about it. As for the ordinary human soldiers, they just wondered why the adults had to take a demon captive with them in an emergency.
