Chapter 297: Razing and Razing
There were only six people when they came, and they didn't plan to visit Yutai, the world is impermanent, and there are always accidents that are unintentionally inserted into the willows.
Meng Wei and his entourage said goodbye to the Queen Mother of the West from Yutai, and when they went to the land of Jingman, they were already waving banners behind them, followed by more than 100,000 demon beast legions.
After a little inventory, there are 30,000 feather clans, 20,000 beasts, and the remaining 50,000 are all native to Lei Ze's water tribe, which does not live up to his name as a Tianhe water army.
For every 10,000 soldiers, there is a commander, and the only great commander of the entire beast demon legion, there is only one person, that is, Wei Hu, a disciple of the Interpretation Sect who is still cutting off the unstable sect in northern Xinjiang, Meng Wei has already sent Yang Jian to the northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, and ordered Wei Hu to go to Heavenly Court for the record, and then come to southern Xinjiang to take over.
At this moment, ten thousand demons are transiting, and the demonic aura of the black smoke miasma is permeated everywhere, and the evil is avoided and retreated, and the living beings are not disturbed.
Jing Man's scout looked from afar, looking at the demonic spirit and the army that covered the clouds and the sun, he was directly frightened that the three souls ascended to heaven, and the seven spirits left their bodies, and rushed to the valley where the Marquis of Jing Man, Xiong Cheng, was located.
"Report!!"
"Chief, there's an enemy attack! There are a lot of monsters speeding towards us! ”
"Demon beasts? This is Jingdi, with the blessing of the Taiyi God, how dare a mere demon beast come to make a mistake? I'm afraid it's just a few goblins who aren't afraid of death! ”
The horror on the scout's face had not subsided, his eyes widened, his teeth still chattering, and he stumbled emphasized, "First... Chief, don't... Carelessly, there are... A lot... Monsters! ”
Xiong Cheng picked up his long-handled battle axe, waved it twice, raised his head and asked disdainfully, "How much is a lot?" Can there be a hundred? Hehe, don't say a hundred, even if it's five hundred, it can only be reduced to the rations of my Jing Xiong Department! ”
"No! Head... Leader, the demon beasts cover the sky and the sun, and there is no end in sight at a glance, and they are all overwhelmed, but judging from the forward troops, I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 demons! ”
For scouts and scouts, they are basically the elite of each department, not only the best in the tribe, but also have a rough understanding of mathematics and understand the terrain.
In addition, the person standing in front of Xiong Cheng at this time, he also knew, belonged to the elite of the scouts, such elite soldiers didn't even find out who the enemy was and who the leader was, so he ran back in a panic to report the news.
This is enough for Xiong Cheng to punish him severely.
Seeing the dejected appearance of the scout, he also realized that something was wrong, put away his arrogant expression, and asked him to gather the leaders of all the tribes to gather in the main camp of Jingchuan Valley, and he took the elite of the clan to find out this group of demon beasts that appeared out of thin air.
Jingman is not a unified whole, but scattered into dozens of tribes with relatives, some of them are close relatives of the three Xiong clans, and the others are more or less the descendants of meritorious deeds left behind when Zhurong moved south.
The entire Jing Xiong Department began to run rapidly, and a large number of barbarian warriors with short hair and brute bear tattoos on their bodies, wearing short-sleeved leather armor, a rattan card in one hand, and a short knife in the other, walked out of the house, followed behind Xiong Cheng, and gathered into a long dragon of more than 10,000 people.
And the hunting teams scattered in the forests are also urgently turning around and moving closer to the front line.
The loose army quickly repaired the fortifications at the exit of the valley in case of emergency.
Xiong Cheng took a hundred warriors with Zhurong and Chongming Bird Divine Patterns to climb to the top of the mountain and look at the dark clouds ahead.
"Quick, there are birds and monsters on the other side, all of them decorate some weeds on my clothes and on the top of my head to hide them!"
Looking at the dense demon beasts, Xiong Cheng's scalp was numb, except for the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, where were there so many demon beasts?
And the demon race is no better than the human race, they are a group of extremely loose and unruly existences, and they are themselves a species of various animals that open their minds.
Put the wolf demon and the sheep demon together, and you can see if the wolf is greedy or not!
Therefore, Xiong Cheng looked at it, and the group frantically searched for the leading demon beast in the herd.
To be able to subdue such a huge army of monsters, how fierce should their leaders be?
"Have you found the leading demon!?"
Xiong Cheng asked anxiously.
The hundred elite warriors under his command shook their heads one after another, and after summarizing what they had seen, they said solemnly to their leader.
"Some commander-level demon beasts have only found three so far, and they don't seem to be foreign demon groups. In the center on the left side is the big wild boar of the former Green Peak Mountain, and the back of the palace seems to be the great demon of Xiangshan who disappeared hundreds of years ago. ”
"Father? Mountains and seas? How could they hang out with those ordinary monsters? And where did these monsters come from? Why run to us? ”
No one can answer Xiong Cheng.
As the dark clouds gradually approached, Xiong Cheng could only regretfully take this group of people back to the Gukou camp.
The leaders of all parties brought warriors to join the camp to prepare for the battle, and when they arrived at the big camp, they looked at the big leader with a solemn and contemplative face, and they also sank in their mood and began to exchange information one after another.
"Big leader, we can still defend the valley, but there are still a few tribes of the same clan outside the valley, what should they do?"
Xiong Cheng stroked his forehead in pain, he didn't answer, he couldn't answer, he couldn't let the large army give up the advantage of geographical advantages, and face the more numerous and stronger demon beasts to charge back!
Not to mention those commanders, just some ordinary demon beasts, such as elephant demons, and hordes of bull demons, a single charge was enough to inflict heavy damage on his army in the wild.
He didn't have much confidence in defending the camp, let alone fighting in the forest.
The barbarians are good at field warfare, and it also depends on who the target is, if it is the big old soldiers in the Central Plains, they will naturally be able to rely on their geographical advantages to fight each other hard.
But if it's a monster......
Please, people grew up in the jungle, can people be more suitable for primitive ecology than animals?
"Can anyone tell me where these monsters came from? Recently, there is a saying among the people of the Central Plains that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”
"We are just like a group of blind people, we don't even know who the other party is, is it really that Taiyi God has abandoned us and others, favoring my uncle Mane Bear, and Shenhui only wants to shine on the Chu tribe?"
The other leaders were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to admonish.
"The big leader said carefully, although we believe in the ancestor Zhurong, but the Taiyi God is also an extremely important totem god for us, and we must not be disrespectful!"
"The ancestor is in Nanming Divine Mountain, as long as we hold on, and then go to the ancestor for help, the victory will eventually belong to our Jingdi clan!"
Xiong Cheng's eyes lit up: "That's right! It's all my fault, I missed an inch in a hurry, we can go and ask the ancestors for protection! ”
The leaders also showed a satisfied look on their faces when they saw Xiong Cheng rejuvenate from his dullness.
are also descendants of Zhurong, they don't like the fickle bear, he is the one who advocates taking refuge in the big business, but after being confused by a foreign woman, he is also the one who advocates anti-business.
On the other hand, Xiong Cheng, although he is short of resourcefulness, he can listen to persuasion, and his personal bravery is also a well-known warrior in Jingdi.
Sometimes, being able to tolerate people and be able to accept advice with an open mind is more important than what bloodline is noble, wise and martial.
At least in southern Xinjiang, which is like a puzzle, this trait is very important!
Just as a group of barbarian chieftains set up a defensive line and each sent their heirs to the Southern Ming God Mountain.
Someone outside the camp said: "Report! Outside, an envoy from the Gengli Department came to visit, saying that he had something important to discuss with the leaders. ”
Everyone was puzzled, weren't the Gengli tribes those tribes outside the valley? Judging from the itinerary, it should be drowned by the army of demon beasts, how can you still send an envoy?
Xiong Cheng glanced at the other tribal leaders, and when he saw half of them nodding, he ordered his guards to let the envoy in.
I saw that the son of the leader of the Gengli tribe, Gengzi, did not have the frustration and loss of being attacked by the demon beast at all, but took a masked beast skin warrior, trotted in with an excited face, and after seeing the main lord on the main seat, he immediately stepped forward to worship happily.
"Great chief, great joy! What a joyous event! ”
Looking at the nonsense of the person in front of him, Xiong Cheng was also angry, and he was afraid that this person was not in a daze.
"Nonsense! Are you afraid that you have gone crazy, your family is ruined, and there can still be a whole corpse in the crossing of the demon beast? If it weren't for the sake of your father's hard work, Ben Hou would have hung your head on the dead tree outside the valley right now to set an example! ”
The visitor was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously thought of something, and couldn't explain it with a smile.
"Oh, big leader, this is all a misunderstanding, it's not a mountain demon, it's a dignified Tianhe water army!"
"Still talking nonsense, what Tianhe Water Army? Ben Hou has never heard of it, where did this new force emerge out of thin air? ”
"The big leader misunderstood, this is not the power of the demon beast, this is the Heavenly Court army!"
Looking at the people from the Gengli tribe who showed worship in his eyes, Xiong Cheng smiled helplessly, and prayed in the face of the other tribal leaders.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gengzi may have been stimulated too much, not intentionally offended, his father once followed us to fight Chu Xiong, Chen Bing's robe of the Soul Pass, for the sake of his father's face, don't blame him!"
Gengzi of the Gengli Department couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't talk about it, and directly recounted the existence of Meng Wei, as well as the matter of Meng Yan's dictation of the inclusion of the Yutai demons and the naturalization of the Tianhe Water Army.
"You mean, this army of demon beasts is the old department of the Queen Mother of the West?"
Gengzi nodded.
"You also said that the Queen Mother of the West entrusted all her military power to Meng Wei?"
Gengzi continued to nod.
"You also said that Meng Wei did not attack you, but still served you with good food and drink, and asked you to pass on the message and pray for an alliance with us outside the valley?"
Gengzi replied with a happy face: "That's it! ”
Xiong Cheng directly stepped forward and slapped Gengzi in the face, and said angrily.
"If you're not crazy, then you must be traitors sent by those demons to disturb the hearts of our army!"
"Huh??" Gengzi looked confused, covering his face and standing aside at a loss.
"Bullshit, do you think I'm stupid? Where is the Queen Mother of the West with such a huge army of demon beasts? Even if she hid the jade platform, why didn't she give it to the bear, not to me, but to an outsider who had just arrived? ”
"Still want to make an alliance with us? In my opinion, the alliance is fake, you want to take this opportunity to wipe out the leaders of our Jingdi clan, this is the reason why you came here to confuse the people! ”
A group of chieftains immediately stepped forward to stop Xiong Cheng, and kept persuading: "Don't be angry, the big chief, the son of Paoze, won't be so heavy-handed." ”
"Gengzi, shut up, if you talk nonsense, the old man will beat you to death, I just finished the assembly, and the trapped pass is not necessarily the opponent of those demon beasts, you don't want to drag us into the water, deliberately trap us elders."
Gengzi covered his red and swollen eyes, tears mixed with snot and blood, and his heart was mixed.
"Great Chief, you believe me! What I said is true, I have a letter from Meng Bohou, if you don't believe me, send two trustworthy retinues to go out of the valley with me to meet Meng Bohou, you can always believe his words! ”
Hearing this, everyone's suspicions decreased slightly, and they continued to ask suspiciously: "Even if what you said is true, what kind of Tianhe water army is on the other side, but we are all descendants of Zhurong and believers of the Taiyi God, how can you betray your ancestors, betray the Taiyi God, and get involved with outsiders?" ”
Speaking of this question, Gengzi began to hesitate, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
But he heard the hooded linen man who had never happened behind him show his straight face and respectfully bowed to Xiong Cheng.
"The Lin Clan in the north of the sea, Zou Wu, meet the Great Leader of Jingdi!"
If Meng Wei was here, he would be able to recognize this person at a glance, wouldn't this be Zou Wu, who broke under the city of Jizhou in the past? It's just that I don't know why Zou Wu got involved with the messenger he sent.
"Poof! Scold! ”
The sound of swords and swords was drawn, and many of the leaders present stood up and looked at the man in front of them, as if they were really facing a flood beast.
"Don't be nervous, I didn't come here with any malice, but I just expected that Meng Wei's trip would definitely not go well, and I may have underestimated the blood bond between you, so I hereby meet you and share a message with you."
The blood bond that Zou Wu said is naturally the two largest barbarians in Jingchu, the Xiong clan Jingman and the Xiong clan Chuman, who are also inherited from Zhurong, and have been reunited every few generations in the middle, maintaining the purity of blood.
According to the historical process, Chu Man will complete the integration in the hands of the bear, and then declare himself a vassal to the Great Shang, officially join the Huaxia sequence, and become the ancestor of the Chu State, and then when Ji Zhou is strong, he will take refuge in the Zhou State again and serve as Ji Chang's Huozheng.
Jing and Chu combined, and the state of Chu was born.
Zou Wu definitely doesn't know the rest of the story, but at present, it seems that water and fire are incompatible, and Jing Man and Chu Man, who are fighting each other every year, are not as incompatible as others think, so he chose to be silently in the dark again, clearing some unnecessary obstacles for the lord he once said goodbye to.
"Great Chief, in fact, Meng Bohou is of the same clan as you, he is a descendant of Boyi, and he also bears the Zhurong bloodline, you must have heard of this!"
Xiong Cheng nodded undeniably, Meng Wei's story cannot be said to be a household name, at least in the upper circles, it can be regarded as a key object of collecting all kinds of information by various scouts.
"So what? The bears are still my uncles in the three clans, and as a result, if you look at that bastard, he will kill me all and show no mercy. ”
Zou Wu smiled faintly and said: "That's different, the bears are known for their repetitions, and now they are even more confused by the demon queen, how can they be compared with the benevolent and righteous Meng Bohou!" ”
No one refutes this sentence, even if it is far away in southern Xinjiang, facing Meng Ji from the north to the south, the people of southern Xinjiang also know that a new peasant saint has emerged in the Central Plains and northern Xinjiang, and he is a "strange" prince who must do what he says and does what he does.
"Based on this alone, the envoy may not be able to convince me, Gengzi's tribe is hanging outside the valley, I can't wait for rescue, and I, the big leader, are also duty-bound, I can ignore the affairs of Gengzi and their tribe, please go back!"
Zou Wu was very calm, and in the face of all kinds of horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, he leisurely walked to a flag depicting the symbol of "Big One", pointed to this symbol and said solemnly.
"What is this?"
Xiong Cheng responded proudly: "I am the supreme god of Jing Chu, Taiyi!" ”
"Well, the big leader is really a pious person, Zou Wu dares to ask the big leader, have you ever seen the Taiyi God?"
"The One God is the supreme being, he is everywhere, how can mortals like me easily see it?"
Seeing that everyone showed sacred and pious expressions, Zou Wu was also speechless, and said directly: "Then you can see the true god in your mind this time, he is outside?" ”
"Venerable envoy, don't talk nonsense, Benhou can tolerate you once, it doesn't mean that you can blaspheme again and again, don't think that I can't kill you!"
"I'm not kidding, your supreme god is just outside the valley, in this alliance, believe it or not, he is there, why don't you show up?"
"Whoosh!" With a bang, a sharp Dashang Precision Casting Treasure Knife slashed against the corner of Zou Wu's eyes, and plunged straight into the thick gate behind him.
"The guy who has to make inches is unbearable to recognize!"
After Xiong Cheng threw the treasure knife, he immediately picked up the battle axe and slashed at Zou Wu, who kept tossing and turning in the cramped camp, dodging the attack of the battle axe, and his mouth was still crackling.
"Go and see, I didn't lie to you, Meng Wei is a Taiyi God, don't your clansmen have the god tattoo of Taiyi God? Go to the Alliance, as long as you get close to Meng Wei and try to borrow the power of the Taiyi God with the Divine Pattern, you will find that the Taiyi God is really in front of you. ”
Just when Xiong Cheng was furious, his beard turned into flames, and he slashed the fire of the Dao Dao, Zou Wu instantly turned into a fierce beast as big as a tiger, with colorful fur and a tail twice as long as its body.
Fierce and cruel appearance, but the eyes seem to have compassion and tenderness.
"The Lin family, there are rare beasts, big as a tiger, five picks, the tail is longer than the body, the name is called Wuwu, and the day is thousands of miles."
"What a Zou Wu, what a donkey Yu, a dignified benevolent beast actually ......"
Halfway through the words, Xiong Cheng was silent.
Yes, he is a benevolent beast, benevolent beasts will not deceive, he is the kindest beast and anyone can deceive people, but benevolent beasts cannot deceive him.
So what did he say? Could it be true?
