Half an hour later, Shikawa Xiu's room.

"Come in, Shirakawa. Zichuan Xiu, who was about to fall asleep, heard a knock on the door and raised his voice and said, "The door is not locked." ”

Shirakawa pushed the door in and was surprised: "My lord, how do you know it's me?"

Zi Chuanxiu groaned: "A master like me who flies flowers and leaves within thirty steps, nothing can be hidden from my ears and eyes." ”

Shirakawa's mouth opened wide: "Really?"

Shikawa Xiu: "Fake. He sighed, "How often did they not open the door with their feet when they saw me?, especially tonight, when they were so angry, how could they be so polite?"

Thinking of the scene just now, Shirakawa still had palpitations: more than a dozen angry orcs were panting heavily, their eyes were spewing fire, they were shouting in horror together, their arms waving vigorously in the air, that fierce look, Bai Chuan felt that it was a miracle that he was not torn off by them on the spot.

"They have gone back to sleep, and a few others are not convinced. Tomorrow I guess there will be a fight. ”

Zi Chuanxiu said while laying out the quilt: "Don't quarrel with them. Tomorrow, those who do not set out according to the order will be informed that Busen will deal with them by military law. ”

Shirakawa Tachimasa: "Yes. "Yù said again.

Zi Chuanxiu stopped his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Do you have something to say?"

"Yes, sir. I also don't understand why we keep fleeing? Before, we could have said that we were hiding from them because of a lack of troops, but now that our two armies have met, our strength is no match for any of our pursuers.

We can take advantage of the time difference and break them down one by one......"

"The forces are almost the same—can we win?" asked Shikawa Xiu. Shirakawa replied with a deep groan: "If it is someone else's command, I dare not say it." But come, my lord, I think you can! You have defeated the enemy more than once with less, and I have confidence in you. ”

Zichuan Xiu said calmly, "If there is a war, with the troops in hand, I can deal with five, or even ten demon teams, if I am given a little luck." Even if the enemy's strength is two, three, or four times that of mine, with this grief and indignation of our army, I am confident that I can defeat and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"Ah, ah," Shirakawa exclaimed, "Then why ......"

"Didn't you figure it out? What we are facing now is not a question of victory or defeat in a battle or a big war, not a question of the gains and losses of a certain city or a certain province, this is a racial war, a matter of life and death between the Zoe and the demons, between the two races. It is a battle to the death, without negotiation or détente, until one side ruthlessly destroys the other.

"And right now, the shape shì is quite bad for us. It's a remote place with few people. Even if I can defeat two, four, five, or even ten demon teams here, it will only be a partial victory, and it will have no impact on the overall situation, and the demons can continue to send new new teams to surround and suppress us until we are completely crushed.

No matter how much you win here, it's just a tactical victory, and it won't help you as a whole. ”

"Our most urgent task now is not how to fight the demons, but how to reach the densely populated Minsk plain as best we can. It is located in the middle of the Far East, and speaks shè the whole of the Far East. Even if more than half of our forces are lost, even if only one squadron of the rebel army appears there, as soon as they show their banner, the shape will immediately change: the entire provincial capital of Minsk will riot at once, and the whole Far East will rush to join us! There, if we want, we can recruit tens of thousands of new soldiers in an hour, and within a week, I can make no more demon soldiers alive in the whole territory of Minsk. ”

"The present Far East is like a dry pyre, and our lonely and weak brigade is a burning fire. How can we keep the precious fire from being blown out by the wind, and let the whole pyre burn and ignite the light?" Staring into Shirakawa's eyes, Shirokawa Xiu said word by word: "We have a heavy responsibility, Shirakawa!"

Shirakawa listened to Shirakawa Xiu's words in silence and didn't say a word.

When she looked up, her eyes were full of respect. She silently stepped back and pulled the door open. Zi Chuanxiu was stunned for a moment: the door was crowded with tall orc officers, all of them squirming uneasily. Zichuan Xiu's mouth opened wide: "You ......"

The officers were pushing and pushing, and Busen said in a loud voice like a eulogy at a funeral: "What a wise insight! Your Royal Highness the King of Light, your wisdom and insight into the future are almost like the Audi God himself descending, and with your leadership, we will definitely be able to sweep away the demons and reply to the mountains and rivers of the Far East!" Busen said as he secretly flipped through the small notebook in his hand, these crepe compliments had just been plagiarized from the prayer of the great god of Audi.

"Exactly, exactly!" the officers echoed in unison, as if they had completely forgotten who had just been there shouting and shouting, "Kill that stupid commander!"

Bran took a step forward and stood in front of Zi Chuanxiu, his voice was very loud: "Your Highness Guangming, we are all just rude soldiers, we only know how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, what politics, strategy, strategy, how to defeat the demon race, how to save our motherland, these family and country affairs, we don't understand." We only know that since Your Highness Guangming is the person trusted by the elders, we trust you: What is the next step, all the officers and soldiers of our Seventh Regiment, but Lord Guangming, you are the first to look forward! As long as you give an order, even if it is the end of the world, even if it is to hit the Demon God Castle, we will have the same heart with you!"

"Life and death with your lord!" Vera hurriedly responded, his face was still calm, his eyelids drooped, and he couldn't hold back a word after thinking for a long time, only those pitiful eyes looked at Zichuan Xiu, looking like a child who had done something wrong in front of the teacher. The appearance of a wolf bèi made Shikawa Xiu feel funny. Obviously, this is a person who is not good at expressing his inner feelings.

He walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a reassuring tone: "Brother, the mourning is good! I assure you that none of the murderers who participated in the Sharo massacre can escape! We are avoiding them for the time being, just so that we can clean them up in the future!"

He raised his head and looked at everyone: "I declare that we will not accept the surrender of the sixty-fifth and seventy-first teams of the demon race. We don't have to keep prisoners for these two teams of demon soldiers! For them, even if we chase them to the Demon God Castle, we will gather and annihilate them and avenge the shame!"

Vera nodded, stretching out her dirty sleeve to wipe her reddened eyes, tears already dripping down her face.

"Your Royal Highness the King of Light, long live the Far East!" the officers cheered, and the enthusiastic energy was really a little funny in Bai Chuan's eyes: a small rebel army that was chasing people like lost dogs now began to talk about the issue of "leaving no prisoners" without shame, as if they had taken the Demon God Castle and trampled the entire Demon Kingdom under their feet.

The next day, the rebel ranks continued to advance.

In the early morning, they set off from Cherno via the Great Far Eastern Highway, aiming for the Minsk plain in the central Far East.

However, before the team could walk a hundred miles, an urgent report had already come from the front: a fairly powerful demon army had appeared ahead.

It turned out that when Kara, the commander of the demon clan of the Minsk Military District, had ordered the Zhulu Demon Clan field team to pursue the rebel half-orc legion advancing in the direction of the temple, but after Zichuan Xiu took over the army, the half-orc legion made several inexplicable turns, which caught the demon team leaders off guard and chased them all in the wrong direction.

From the seemingly chaotic route of Shikawa Shu, Kara deduced that the rebel legions were likely targeting the densely populated regions of the central Far East. He believed that instead of letting the troops run around with Zichuan Xiu leading the nose, it was better to hold the troops and occupy various strategic roads first, waiting for the other party to send them to the door.

To the southwest of Cherný, bordered by the Greywater and Blue rivers and backed by the delta of the Oren Mountains, is the gateway to the Minsk Plain. The commander of the Minsk Military District, Kara, personally commanded the soldiers and horses of the demons on the road. He is a very favored general under the command of Emperor Lu, and he is also a warrior who can fight well, and his courage and martial arts are unmatched among the generals of the Far East.

In order to strictly prevent the rebel army from entering the Minsk Plain, he placed all the main forces of the Minsk Military District here, with 30,000 demon infantry and 10,000 demon cavalry, spreading troops and horses along the Far Eastern Highway, weaving a net, confident that such a tight defense could scare off any invading enemy -- as for where the enemy would run after retreating? That is the matter that the demon generals in other provinces should be concerned about, as long as the Minsk province they are guarding is fine, Lord Kara will not care so much.

But Zi Chuanxiu just waved his master and walked quickly, and he was inserted into this net.

Because the demons who were chasing after him were getting closer and closer, and time was pressing, he had to take the risk and take this nearest route. Even if he fell into the net, Zichuan Xiu was the best at this kind of guerrilla tactics.

Although the enemy seems to be menacing, claiming to be 40,000 people, they still have no strength to defend such a vast area. The enemy's net is too wide, and the spacing between the meshes is naturally large. Since the locals supported the rebels and enthusiastically led the way for them, and the detours of various paths through Guò made it easy for him to pass through the territory of no one, and even rounded up the enemy in turn! He suddenly crossed the Blue River, cut into the delta, marched along the riverbank, and arrived at the town of Yudolph at dusk on December 6, and the half-orc infantry silently surrounded the town, and preemptively gathered and annihilated all the three hundred demon cavalry stationed in the town, and cut them all to pieces, not letting go of a single living mouth.

Now it's okay, it's like a hornet's nest has been stabbed, the demon army is crazy, and the garrison immediately rushed over from all directions to the small town of Yudal, and Kara even personally brought 10,000 jīng reebok horses to come, the purpose is to find the main force of the orcs and have a head-on decisive battle.

However, when the army came, it failed to find the orc army.

The villagers swore to report to the demon army that after the orc army attacked the demons, they had crossed the river overnight and fled. Based on the traces and footprints left behind, Kara speculated that they were most likely on the other side of the Blue River again. He immediately ordered the collection of ferries to cross the river in pursuit. Unexpectedly, just when the army had passed more than half of the time, the half-orc infantry suddenly appeared from the direction of Yudal and attacked the demon guards who were still staying on the east bank of the river, and the whole demon army was terrified and chaotic.

More than 500 demon guards behind the palace were beaten to the ground, and the half-orcs also plundered the demon baggage team and grain and grass convoy. From the horizon and on the other side of the river, the demon army can see the orc army even with the naked eye, but if they want to get close to the battle, they don't have so many ferries. If you pass in batches, you will only be defeated by the enemy one by one.

The brave demon soldiers were at a loss, and could only watch as the enemy slashed down their guards and plundered their baggage. General Carla had already bitten his lip to the point of blood. While Kara was still waiting by the river, the orc legion had quietly disappeared into the dusk riverbank, advancing into the depths of the delta, beating the lone garrison and scout soldiers along the way.

After Kara crossed the river, she hurriedly pursued, but unexpectedly, the orc army seemed to know how to magic, and appeared and disappeared.

Even though he kept chasing them all the way, they could mysteriously disappear, as if dissolving in the air, and sometimes appearing in several places at the same time. Early in the morning, news came that the orc army was attacking the demon garrison somewhere, and the demon army immediately set out for reinforcements. Arriving at noon, they couldn't find a single orc soldier even if they dug three feet into the ground. The demon soldiers were busy for a long time and were about to rest, but news came: the army of half-orcs had arrived at such and such a place, so they had to set off immediately......

The arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the demon clan are almost exhausted to death, but they can't even touch a shadow, but the orcs can catch them off guard from time to time, making them cry bitterly. For Zichuan Xiu, playing hide and seek with the demons under his nose seems to be thrilling, but in fact it is very safe.

Because the people here are very enthusiastic about the arrival of the rebel army. They volunteered to report to their own soldiers, cover up the news, and were even willing to risk their lives to help the rebels convey fake military information to fool the demons. Therefore, even the smallest scout detachment of the Demon Army, and even the whereabouts of each infantry detachment, Zichuan Xiu knew everything about it.

Due to the high degree of asymmetry of information between the two sides, this is simply not a war, it is simply as if he is playing with the army of demons. Once, the orcs even slept on their stomachs in the grass, while the tens of thousands of demon troops ran from east to west on the road less than 20 meters away in front of the grass, and were rushing to reinforce a certain "besieged city"; when they woke up, they saw the demon army running back from west to east to exterminate the "mysteriously appearing rebel army" in a certain place, and they were drenched in sweat; an hour later, the same demon army appeared again, this time they ran south, and then ran back and ran over...... In that way, it was as if the entire demon army had gone crazy and practiced long-distance running all night long.

The orcs watched with relish and happily commented, "His Royal Highness the King of Light has played them so hard that they even have their tongues out......"

In this way, fighting and hiding, Shikawa Xiu went deeper and deeper into the enemy territory, playing the enemy exhausted along the way. At this time, he suddenly made another unexpected decision, ordered the troops to turn, left the flat Far Eastern Highway, and entered the Oren Mountains.

This once again caught the pursuing demon army off guard. Kara could only look at the mountains of Oron and sigh: although the demons had conquered the entire Far East, it was only in the plains. The mountain plateau is still a very unfamiliar area for the demons. He would not dare to leave the plains and venture into the mountains. Since the incident in Shaluo Province and the incident in the Holy Land, the people of the mountain region have hated the soldiers and horses of the demon race. Those half-savage and half-barbaric mountain people, Bingxìng fierce and rude, as soon as they saw the demon army passing by, regardless of the disparity in numbers, even if there was only one person, they dared to pick up the wood axe and kill the entire squadron, and then through the dense jungle and rugged mountains, they disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

In these areas, once the demons enter, they are easily killed. Some small detachments, once they enter the labyrinth of inaccessible mountains, disappear without a trace. If he really commanded the army to chase Zichuan Xiu in, then it would not take a week, and his army would immediately melt like ice, and the problem would change from "how to catch up with the rebels" to "how not to be caught up by the rebels".

What's more, the Oren Mountains connect the six provinces of Minsk, Deya, Calais, and Yun Province, and since the enemy has entered, their target may not be their own territory, so Lord Kara naturally turns a blind eye, secretly hoping that this group of damn rogues would better go to other provinces and stop making trouble in their own territory.
