Chapter VI

Fortunately, he did not have to wait long, and one day in late September, a visitor visited the capital of Ankara province, where the temporary headquarters of the Far Eastern Army was located. The man went straight to the temporary headquarters of the Far Eastern Army and declared that he was the messenger of Stirling. Soon, he was received.

"Are you?" Shikawa looked at the messenger dressed in homespun cloth in front of him suspiciously, his face was dark and his skin was rough, and he looked no different from the local peasant.

The visitor smiled heartily, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He bowed to Zichuan Xiu and said, "Lord Commander, do you really not recognize me?"

"Ouyang, you are Ouyang Jing!" Zi Chuanxiu immediately heard this voice. He jumped up in shock: "Oh my God, Ouyang, why did you become like this?"

When Zi Chuanxiu was the commander of the southwest, Ouyang Jing was the youngest division commander under him. As much as he was brave and capable, he was equally impressed by the young officer's amorous manners, how could that personable white-faced man become so good?

Ouyang crooked his mouth like a toothache: "No way, in order to pass through the occupied area of the demon clan, I put on makeup - my lord, can you give me a bathroom?" I can remove the disguise on my face." Wearing this disgusting thing, I don't even dare to look in the mirror. ”

"Give you a bathroom, that's fine, but won't you have to put on your makeup again when you go back?"

Ouyang was stunned, as if he hadn't thought about this problem at all. He patted his head in annoyance: "If you don't say it, adult, I forgot about it and have to take a return trip." ”

He wrinkled his dark face: "I am really reluctant to face people with this face! But fortunately, my lord, you are in the army, and no beautiful woman will see my wolf bèi." ”

Zichuan Xiu grinned happily at him: "You're so right!"

"This is Ouyang Jing's red-clothed banner book of the Southeast Army, who risked his life and traveled through the accurate information brought to us by the demon occupation area and the message of Lord Stirling. I invite you here to introduce you to this brave General Ouyang and welcome his arrival!"

Facing Bai Chuan and Lin Bing, who were called over in a hurry, Zi Chuan Xiu introduced Ouyang Jing to them seriously. Zi Chuanxiu said modestly: "Of course, our Far East is a rural place, and there will be no beauties who are out of the way...... General Ouyang, forgive me for this!"

Looking at the dirty rural peasants in front of them, Bai Chuan and Lin Bing hid their disdain very carefully, and even shook hands with Ouyang politely.

Look at the heroic Bai Chuan, and look at the outstanding woman xìng Lin Bing, both of whom are rare beauties, chūn Lan Qiuju, each good at winning. Ouyang stayed for half a minute, and then he let out an angry roar at Zi Chuanxiu: "My lord, you killed me!"

The meeting quickly got to the point, and Ouyang said bluntly: "Lord Commander, I brought Lord Sterling's order. ”

Bai Chuan frowned: "General Ouyang, I think you mean to bring Lord Stirling's opinion, right? Lord Stirling is the commander of the Southeast Army, and my family is the commander of the Far East, and the two of them are at the same level. ”

"General Shirakawa, you have a point. But you forget, Lord Stirling is also the Chief of Military Affairs, and in this capacity, he has the authority to issue orders to all the armed forces of the family. Naturally, including the troops of the Far East. ”

The chief general of the Far East glared angrily at the visiting guest, and her gaze made General Ouyang Jing shudder: it was a mad dog's gaze. If anyone dares to offend her master's interests, she is ready to bite!

He avoided Shirakawa's aggressive gaze and lowered his head to pretend to cough.

Zi Chuanxiu didn't mind at all, he asked, "Ouyang, what order did you bring from Sterling?"

"Your Excellency, please see. Ouyang Jing said respectfully, handing over a letter with both hands.

Zi Chuanxiu opened the paperwork, and a page of text came into view:

"The Far Eastern Commander Hidekawa Taijian:

I am glad to hear that the strange soldiers of the Far East, with a heroic posture across the thousand-year-old Tianqian Ancient Mountains, straight into the heart of the demon clan, this is an unprecedented feat, which can encourage the morale and ambition of the people!

However, the war situation is undecided, and within the territory of the motherland, the demon bandits have not yet been eliminated. Before rì, the enemy has gathered heavy troops in front of the capital of our holy country, and the main forces of Senea, Goang, Yakun and other departments have been assembled. The two armies are facing each other across the river, the counteroffensive is about to begin, and a major war may break out at any time.

The country is in a difficult situation, and at this last moment, we should do our best to share the country's worries. Therefore, I send a message to Your Excellency, hoping that Your Excellency will obey my orders, fight against time, and immediately march westward, overcome an obstacle, and join our army at Oss.

I look forward to the arrival of the prestigious Far Eastern Army. It is a great honor for me to be able to work side by side with Your Excellency as you march westward. May we see you again!

Peace to you!

Sterling 784 September 10 rì"

Sterling's letter was written very politely, first highly praising the achievements of Shikawa Xiu's department, and then earnestly asking him to meet with him, and the article was rigorously worded and polite, revealing a sense of alienation in his courtesy. Looking at the letter steadily, Zi Chuanxiu's heart was filled with a sense of powerless melancholy: Since when did the person who was once a brother come to the letter so polite and estranged?

In Sterling's eyes -- no, in the eyes of the Zichuan family, what is he really ? He is bent on saving the motherland, and he does not hesitate to trek through mountains and rivers and fight continuously, but in the eyes of the family, they only see themselves as warlords who support their own troops and preserve their strength.

Seeing that Zi Chuanxiu's face was uncertain, Lin Bing asked, "My lord, what does Lord Sterling's letter say?"

Zichuan Xiu handed her the letter and said lightly, "Lord Sterling wants us to join him. ”

He turned to Ouyang Jing: "Ouyang, you give us a good explanation of the battle situation." How's Sterling's fight with the demons?"

"My lord, since July, our army has begun its march towards dìdū—" Ouyang began to recount.

With the help of the demons' crushing defeat under Dìdū and in the northwest, Sterling was given a respite. The Southeast Army seized the opportunity to obtain additional troops from the three provinces of Os, and then relaunched an offensive against the demons, and after defeating the soldiers and horses of the Goang tribe of the 14th Army of the Demon Clan, the southeast army had advanced to the Gut Province less than 300 kilometers away from Dak. There, the Southeast Army encountered the remnants of the Fourteenth Demon Army and the remnants of the Fourth Demon Army withdrawn from the northwest, and the two armies were engaged in a fierce battle.

Zi Chuanxiu felt incredible: "The Fourteenth Army is already a defeated general under the Southeast Army, and the Fourth Army of the Demon Race is also a remnant of the defeated army from the northwest, can Stirling not be able to help these two tired troops?"

Ouyang Jing lowered his head: "Lord Stirling has his own strategy in his heart, and his intentions are really difficult for us to figure out as subordinates." ”

The people here discussed for a while, but they couldn't get the point. Zi Chuanxiu commanded: "Ouyang, you have traveled a long way, and you have worked hard all the way. In this way, you go to rest first. It's a big deal, and we'll let you know the results after we deliberate, how about that?"

"Yes, sir. Ouyang Jing stood up and saluted, and he said earnestly: "My lord, the situation on the front line is very tense, and the decisive battle is about to start. The Southeastern Army, the Dìdū Army, and the Northwest Army will all devote all their troops, and this is a battle related to the fortunes of the country. My lord, your troops are strong and strong, and we all hope that the Far Eastern Army will arrive in time. Before leaving, Lord Stirling repeatedly told me that I would take this matter seriously. ”

Zichuan Xiu stared into his eyes: "When is the decisive battle?"

"It's October as early as possible, and no later than November at the latest. Now, both we and the Dìdū Military Region are adjusting our forces, and according to the reconnaissance report, the demons are also mobilizing and redeploying on a large scale, and they are also making preparations. Although there is no major war at the moment, Lord Stirling asserts that this is the calm before the storm, and if you don't move, you will definitely be shocked. ”

Ouyang Jing saluted and went out, and the orderlies led him to the rest room.

Zichuan Xiu looked at Lin Bing and Bai Chuan: "What do you think?"

"He's ugly, not a handsome guy. ”

"His hairstyle is so ugly!"

The two female generals squeaked, and Zi Chuanxiu couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't be joking." I'm going to fight the demons right away, and I don't think the time is very ripe. Protracted warfare is good for humanity, and I don't understand why Sterling is so impatient. ”

Lin Bing: "I also know that I am in a hurry, but Lord Sterling is doing this, and we are powerless to stop it." Since the decisive battle is inevitable, there is only one question left: shall we rush to make do so?"

"My lord, we should go. Bai Chuan stood up and saluted, she stood up straight, with a solemn expression: "My lord, no matter what you think, as long as you are still a general of the Zichuan family, as long as you are still on the side of the human race, we are duty-bound to fight this battle." No matter how great the difficulties are, we have to overcome them on our own, and the main forces of the Far East must rush to the main battlefield at the time of the decisive battle. ”

Zi Chuanxiu looked at Lin Bing, who also stood upright, bowed solemnly, and then said, "Exactly." ”

Zi Chuanxiu didn't speak, he stood in front of the window, looking out at the endless blue sky in the distance. After a long time, he turned around: "In that case, let's go." ”

According to the official history, on September 29, 784, Zichuan Xiu, then the commander of the Far East, inspected the soldiers and horses in the capital of Ankara Province. At that time, there were 41 infantry and cavalry teams of Far Eastern troops under the command of Zichuan Xiu, two assault brigades of the Xiuzi battalion, and seven newly recruited human infantry divisions.

This time, at the behest of Stirling, he led the Jīng Rui troops brought from the Far East, and the newly formed human division was placed in the rear for training and reorganization.

In Zichuan Xiu's estimation, if a large force of Far Eastern troops wants to pass through the occupied area of the demon clan, it must go through a series of bloody battles. Although the main force of the demon clan is around dìdū, the demon garrisons stationed in various places are not vegetarians. The previous capture of the four northeastern provinces was a surprise to the demons, but this time, the demons must have prepared for their own attack, and Zichuan Xiu was mentally prepared to meet the arduous and arduous battle.

The first major city on the way was Bartley. The city was the base of the Mavi rebel family, and it is also the best-preserved town in the southeast. According to Zichuan Xiu's xìng, he was most afraid of attacking this kind of fortified city that had been prepared for a long time. In a prepared fortification, with enough bows and arrows and stone throws, hundreds of well-trained demon soldiers can stop his entire army and inflict heavy casualties.

In order to attack Bartley, Zichuan Xiu made full preparations, the army was equipped with more than 200 catapults alone, more than 1,000 siege vehicles, climbing vehicles and other ladders, and more than 2,000 orcs and soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion volunteered to serve as death squads - that was to serve as cannon fodder for the first batch of sieges, but if he could get to the city and not die, the bounty was enough to make this person worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

The 130,000-strong army spread for five miles under the city of Bartley, the Far Eastern army held back its strength, and the death squads were even more drunk and their eyes were red and murderous, they pointed out their ears and waited for the trumpet to sound!

The bugle didn't sound, it was the little horn in Bartley. There was a flag shaking on the head of the city, and looking at that flag, the entire Far Eastern army from Zichuan Xiu was dumbfounded: it was a white flag.

The gates opened, and several humans came out with white flags, shouting: "Don't let go of the arrows, we have revolted!"

"You bird!" Zi Chuanxiu held the flagpole and slammed it on the head of the leading human, followed by a brutal beating. The thought of having to pay the bounty of the 2,000-man death squad that was intact made him cry in every pore.

"What are you doing?" Tired of the beating, Shirakawa Xiu stopped drinking water, and Shirakawa hurriedly moved a chair for the commander to rest.

"We are ......"

"Shut up! Now you are going to sue sù, I am the leader of the garrison of the 16th Army of the Bartley Province, although you were forced to surrender to the demons, but you have always missed the motherland in your heart, but you have always been oppressed by the demons and unable to act, this time, seeing the Far Eastern army coming, you seized the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, bravely launched an uprising, killed the demon defenders in the city, and sacrificed the city--isn't that so? Sue you, I have seen too many tricks in this set, and you are not new to play!"

The visitor smiled awkwardly: "My lord, it's basically correct." But my lord, we didn't kill the demon garrison in the city!"

"Oh?" Zi Chuanxiu became curious: "Where is the demon garrison?"

"We don't know, my lord, three days ago, all the troops of the demon clan stationed in the city were withdrawn. ”

"Withdrawn?" Zi Chuanxiu's mouth opened wide.

From the mouth of the human officer who rebelled and surrendered, he learned that in Bartley City, the demon clan originally stationed two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, both of which belonged to the Goang clan. But three days ago, at the same time that Zichuan Xiu launched the westward expansion campaign, the demon forces evacuated the city in an orderly manner, leaving only the human troops of the Sixteenth Legion to guard the city.

"Did the demons say anything before leaving?"

"They say that the Protoss army has received an order to open up, and the city has been handed over to you, and that you should be on guard against the attack of the Far Eastern army—even these words are nothing special. ”

Zi Chuan Xiu glanced at Bai Chuan, who responded with the same confused look, and she asked cautiously, "Is it possible that the demon clan wants to gather troops somewhere to prepare to block our advance?"

Zichuan Xiu immediately vetoed: "Bartley City is the best preserved position and fortification in the entire southeast region, and it is the best blocking position. If the demons are trying to prevent us from joining forces with Stirling, they should have sent more troops to Bartley. ”

Despite the bewilderment of the Far Eastern leadership, the liberation of a large city without blood was a great joy after all - in addition to the fact that the commander was distressed by the huge bounty, the army was happy from top to bottom, and many soldiers planned to "make a windfall" in this well-preserved city after entering the city. Fortunately, Shirakawa sensed the army's indulgence in time, and camped the main army outside the city to Zichuan Xiuti, sending only a small number of reserve troops into the city to take over the power and maintain order in the city.

Bartley City is a large city in the southeast, and Bartley will have no obstacles for the rest of the way. Zichuan Xiu's army advanced all the way without strong resistance from the demons - in fact, along the way, the Far Eastern Army did not even see the shadow of the demons, only the soldiers of the 16th Army who surrendered with the entire division. From the mouth of the Toucheng soldiers, the top brass in the Far East learned that the regular troops of the Demon Clan were systematically withdrawing from the Batley Province area, leaving only the human puppet troops to garrison the various places.

It was really difficult for Shikawa Shu to understand the thoughts of the demons. The other party knew that the loyalty of the human puppet troops was worthless, and as long as the Far Eastern troops pressed the border, they would surrender as fast as lightning and thunder. Knowing this, the other party still handed over this key province to them for defense - this is almost equivalent to handing over this province directly to Zichuan Xiu.

What the hell was going on? He couldn't figure it out.

The weather had just rained, the sun was setting in the west, and the sun was still dazzling and scorching. This is a cavalry scout, the riders are dressed in black, and they are speeding all the way, and the eagle-shaped emblem on their cloaks indicates that this is a unit of the Zichuan family.

This undulating stretch of hills is the border between the provinces of Batley and Os. Since the former governor of Bartley, Ma Wei, treasoned and defected to the enemy half a year ago, this is the first time that the armed forces of the Zichuan family have set foot here. The cavalrymen were cautious, stopping from time to time to look around. Although the possibility of encountering an ambush in this terrain is so small that it does not exist, it has already been explained above, the more cautious the better, the demons don't know what tricks they are playing!

The Far Eastern High Command was suspicious, so the vanguard reconnaissance unit took on very heavy pressure.

The cavalry who had walked in the front had climbed a high slope, and he opened his eyes as the sun went down. After a while, he turned back to the captain and shouted, "Sir, there's a situation over there!"

In the west, under the blazing aperture, billowing smoke and dust rose up, and in the smoke, some shadows were rapidly approaching. The riders stood still, their grim faces reddened by the setting sun, and the imperceptible panic in their eyes.

The captain stood at the top, and like the others, he opened his eyes and looked at the comer vigorously: "How?"

"There are about 300 cavalry in front of the opponent, and the number of infantry behind is unknown!"

"The opposing team's backteam hasn't appeared yet!"

"There are no discernible flags and signs!"

Several of the scout's most eyesighted veterans replied quickly, sweat streaming down their foreheads. They are all experienced veterans and know that this is the most critical time. The two armies are about to engage in battle, and in just a few minutes, the results of their observations will become the basis for the commander-in-chief's decision-making, and the consequences of making mistakes at this time are very severe.

The captain shouted in a low voice: "A small team, immediately report back to the team and report that there is an armed force of unknown direction ahead!"

"Yes!" several horsemen immediately turned their horses' heads, whipped them violently, and the men and horses rushed to the rear.

The smoke and dust were billowing and the yellow sand was blowing in the face, and the oncoming soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer, and the veteran with the best eyesight in the scout team shouted: "Sir, the other party is all human, and there are no demons!"

Obviously, the other party also found this handful of people standing on the hillside. More than 500 meters away, the whole team stopped, and the black pressure was overwhelming. In the middle, several horses rushed towards this side, and the speed of the men and horses was very fast, and they soon ran to a hundred meters away.

"Sir, do you want to retreat?"

"Wait a minute!"

The captain was bruised, so nervous that his voice trembled. From the point of view of reconnaissance, their task has been accomplished. It is not the duty of a reconnaissance team to stay where they are and engage in hand-to-hand combat with superior enemies. But he had a strange feeling that the oncoming soldiers were not hostile.

At this time, the comers were already running very close, and the soldiers could even see the other party's red war horse and the black sè cavalry cloak waving in the wind, and there were more than twenty people on the other side, lined up in a two-way jǐng ring formation, and an officer wearing a camouflaged hat rushed to the front of the queue very elegantly. The cavalry crossed the road, crossed a low-lying area, and headed straight for the high slope on which the scouts stood, and then, ten meters away, they stopped.

The crisp chirping of the horses' hooves abruptly stopped, and up and down the slope, two groups of cavalry stationed on their horses observed each other. Both sides are dressed the same, the same attire, the same black sè uniform, black sè cloak, and standard sabre. The soldiers were all nervously watching each other, and they could even see the other's tanned cheeks and gaunt chapped lips.

Neither side spoke, and tension was in the air.

The officer, cloaked in camouflage, rode out of the queue and headed straight for the scouts. His voice was very clear: "I am Mingde, a small flag warrior of the First Advance Division of the Southeast Army, who are you?"

Holding back the excitement in his heart, the captain replied with a trembling voice: "I am the scout warrior Kas of the first brigade of the Xiuzi Battalion of the Far Eastern Army, I salute you, sir!"

"Salute to you, brothers of the Far East!"

The soldiers on both sides turned over and dismounted, and ran towards each other. An indescribable excitement burned in their hearts, and they ran faster and faster, and rushed faster and faster, until they bumped into each other at once, and then the soldiers of the South-Eastern Army and the Far Eastern Army embraced each other warmly, and low cheers rose up on the high slope.

"Long live the Southeast Army! Long live the Far East Army!"

"Long live Lord Sterling! Long live Master Shikawa Shu!"

Cass and Mingde hugged warmly, and the little flag warrior whispered in Cass's ear in a low voice: "Brother, I've been waiting for you to come over for a long time, but I've finally waited for you!

"It's not a good journey, sir!" Cass replied slowly, as if something had swallowed his throat, and there were two lines of shining water on his face, "We weren't too late, we didn't miss anything!"

The forward troops have already made contact with the South-Eastern Army!

The military newspaper was like the lightning and thunder, shaking the entire barracks, the army cheered, and hats flew all over the sky. The meeting of the two main armies of the Southeast Army and the Far Eastern Army, the Zichuan family, is definitely a major event in history, which means that the encirclement of the Dak Demon Clan has been formed, sounding the death knell of the Demon Clan!

Hearing the express report, Zichuan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He gave the order, and the army marched quickly.

When the camp was closed that night, the commander of the first advance division of the Southeast Army came to the main camp to ask to see Zichuan Xiu, and was immediately invited in.

As soon as they met, Zichuan Xiu exclaimed in surprise: "You...... You're Pushin!"

"Yes, my lord, it's great to see you!"

The former hotel manager saluted neatly and walked over to Zi Chuanxiu excitedly. Holding his hand, Zi Chuan Xiu carefully observed the other party, and the pampered fat face in the past had now been burned into red copper, and the contours were clearly thin. At this time, Puxin made people feel a bit of a military taste.

"Pu Xin, you've lost weight!

When Zichuan Xiu was the commander of the Black Flag Army, Pu Xin was his assistant. It's just that Zichuan Xiu couldn't have imagined that for such a person who had never commanded troops, Sterling would be so bold and let him serve as the commander of the entire division at once?

Pu Xin smiled bitterly: "My lord, I was also driven to the shelves!"

"Half a year ago, Ma Wei rebelled, the demons broke through our front, and the Southeast Army suffered heavy casualties. Because of Military Order No. 271, it was not allowed to take a step back, all departments had to defend to the death, and the division commanders and corps commanders died one after another, so fast that the headquarters could not react. On that day, we received another report that the commander of the 66th Division of the Southeastern Army, Wisin, had been killed, and the troops asked us to send a new commander over. Lord Stirling said, "Commander, I don't have any spare officers at hand right now-oh, by the way, there's a flag book named Pu Xin, who came from the Black Flag Army, so let him take over the 66th Division!"

Pu Xin spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "This is not a joke! At that time, a large number of officers at the level of Qiben, Hongyi, and Deputy Commander died, and when I heard the order to go to the front, my legs were so frightened that my legs went limp. I wanted to go to Lord Stirling and tell him that I had never fought, and begged him to withdraw the order -- but he didn't give me time at all! Lord Stirling was so busy that the soles of his feet were about to smoke, so how could he have time to listen to the nonsense of a flag book? The marshal general, Hong Hua, drew a knife and put it to my throat and asked, 'Are you going to take up your post?' -- Later, I was escorted to work by a group of military police, and Hong Hua seemed to be afraid that I would run away halfway. ”

Zichuan Xiu laughed, and Pu Xin laughed too. Then, he slowly stopped his smile: "Later, I was lucky not to die, and the 66th Division was not eaten by the demons, so I learned to come over step by step, and I became what I am today." ”

"I really didn't expect that you could be in charge of one side and become the general of the army in charge. I almost buried you, but Sterling still knows how to find talent. ”

"Well, don't make fun of me, sir. If I had a choice, I would still like to be your assistant. It's too much pressure right now. Since I became the commander of this division, I have not been able to sleep soundly at night. ”

"This, I believe. ”

Zichuan Xiu nodded, during the war, the pressure on senior generals was not something that ordinary people could bear. He turned to the point: "Where is Stirling? Ouyang said that he was at war with the demons in Gute Province? ”

"My lord," said Pu Xin, sternly, "I have been instructed to convey to you the greetings of Lord Stirling, and welcome you and the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army. However, Lord Stirling is no longer in Gute, and I am honored to report to you that the former Rì Southeast Army has passed the entire territory of the Special Province, and Lord Stirling has led his troops into the Venari Province and is commanding the troops to start a war with the Fourth Army of the Demon Race. ”

Zi Chuanxiu nodded: "Then I'll go straight to Venari to join Sterling." There are some things that I have to talk to him face-to-face. ”

"Yes, sir. There is one more thing that Lord Stirling asked me to convey to you: before reaching the front line of Venari Province, there will be areas controlled by our army along the way, and we will be responsible for the food, grass and supplies of the Far Eastern Army.

Pu Xin's tone was strange, and the expression on his face was smiling.

Zi Chuanxiu glanced at him and understood. Previously, he was engaged in the collection of white strips in the northeastern provinces, and his reputation for being good at turning waste into treasure had spread here, and Sterling was afraid that he would also post a bunch of white strips here, so he hurriedly stated in advance that he was responsible for providing supplies for the Far Eastern troops, and the implication was: Zichuan Xiu, you can concentrate on the war, please don't scrape the ground anymore!

Is it really that notorious that you are?

Shikawa Shu was depressed. In order to rescue the motherland, he led an army of 100,000 people across the thousand-year-old moat and won successive battles, which was an unprecedented feat in ancient times. With such a big feat there, why does Sterling always think about trivial things like his white stripes?

He nodded sullenly, "Got it." Just do as he says. ”

The predecessor of the First Advance Division of the Southeast Army was the 66th Division of the original Southeast Army, and in the First Battle of Oss, this division suffered heavy casualties, the division commander was killed, and the entire division was on the verge of collapse. Later, the generals were changed halfway, and Pu Xin Qiben made a clever move to stabilize his position. At this time, my colleagues were surprised to find that this seemingly lull former hotel manager also had a good military talent -- Pu Xin himself was very modest: "My lord, what a hidden general, but luck! At that time, the demons happened to let us go and turn around to attack dìdū, and we escaped death." ”

This time, in order to receive the arrival of the Far Eastern troops, considering his friendship with Shikawa Xiu, Sterling specially sent him to greet Zichuan Xiu. The guide troops of the Southeastern Army opened the way, and the Far Eastern troops followed along the post road and advanced towards the province of Venari. On the way, Zichuan Xiu asked Pu Xin about the fact that the demon clan fled without a fight along the way, and the latter didn't understand the reason, he said: "The demon clan is strong and greedy, so it has never happened to abandon the land of the two provinces without a fight. ”

Along the way, Zichuan Xiu also encountered other units of the Southeast Army, such as the prestigious 11th Southeast Division, which was formerly known as the famous "Immortal Battalion" of the 1st Division of the Zhōngyāng Army. There are also the 13th Division of the Southeast Army, the 14th Division of the Southeast Army, and the 25th Division of the Southeast Army. Like the Far East troops, they went to Venari to support Stirling. The division commanders had great respect for Zichuan Xiu, and they came to the main camp one after another to meet Zichuan Xiu.

Talking about the situation, everyone unanimously believes that the Southeastern Army and the Far Eastern Army will join forces, and mankind has gathered unprecedented combat strength, and the next big battle will be a large-scale decision. Thinking that the most arduous rìzi had passed, and that the dawn of victory had appeared in the sky, the generals were all excited.

The weather was beautiful all the way, and the march was extremely smooth. The autumn breeze was blowing, blowing the continuous battle flags, and the teams and divisions of the Far East and Southeast were marching forward in great strides. On the road for nearly ten miles, the soldiers' rich war songs echoed everywhere, including the rich military song "Eagle Flying Southeast" of the Zichuan family, and then the loud folk song "Huzhuola" of the half-orcs.

In the majestic singing, the teams from all walks of life lined up neatly, the military discipline was strict, the armor was bright, and the people were happy. The soldiers were dressed in fresh clothes, and their demeanor was vibrant, and the battle flags were displayed all the way, like huge flowers one after another, blooming above the military formation.

Seeing such high morale, Shikawa Shu and the generals were deeply relieved and firmly believed that this was a good omen for heralding victory.
