The Tiance Army was finally officially launched under the expectation of everyone, and before that, Su Wen handed over a fist-sized black stone to Mu Xi's hands.

It was the scraps of the divine book that Yao Yichuan handed over to him that day.

Although the effect is not as powerful as the complete divine book, it can at least make up for the consumption of talent in Mu Xi's body in a certain amount of time.

This was the only way Su Wen could think of.

As for Mu Shulin and Li Qiuxue's sudden visit the day before, Su Wen concealed it.

Since they didn't choose to see Mu Xi, there must be a reason why they had to do so, and Su Wen didn't want this matter to affect Mu Xi's feelings, let alone have an unnecessary misunderstanding between her and her family.

Now, everyone, including Su Wen, needs to put all their efforts on more important things.

War.

In the records of later history books, the attack of the Tiance Army marked the official start of the Second Holy War, and also meant that the alliance between humans and demons sounded the horn of counterattack.

This is the first time that the vast majority of human beings have set foot on the land of southern Xinjiang, and it is the first time that they have faced the cruelty of war.

They soon realize that in many cases, in order to protect something more important, they need to give up something accordingly.

Maybe it's family, maybe it's a lover, maybe it's your own life.

But at this moment, they have no regrets and move forward.

More than a hundred years ago, human beings rose up against the tyranny of the demons in order to survive in this world, and did not want to be reborn as slaves.

More than 100 years later, they once again left their homeland and rebelled. In order to keep their children and grandchildren alive. No compromise!

It's a historic moment, but not everything is as easy as one might think.

For the Tiance Army. They were the latest to start and the most prepared before the battle, but before they could set foot on the land of Nanshu County, or more accurately, ten days after they left Juyong Pass, there were already many unexpected accidents in the army.

The first to bear the brunt is the infestation of demon beasts.

In fact, the demon beasts in southern Xinjiang are essentially the same type of things as the beasts on human land, but they are more aggressive and wild. Both strength and speed are far beyond the reach of ordinary beasts.

It's like the difference between demon people and humans.

Demon Emperor Tianji can command the entire clan of warriors to fight the demons, but he has no way to drive all the demon beasts like his arms and fingers, and this has caused a lot of trouble for the human reinforcements.

As early as the official declaration of war by the demon people, the Demon Emperor has already transferred all the soldiers from the border passes, which also led to a significant increase in the breeding rate of demon beasts near several border passes in just one month.

Fortunately, it was the early winter of the Sacred Word Continent, otherwise things would have become a little trickier.

But even so, it also made the soldiers of the Tiance Army overwhelmed.

Beast attacks occur almost every day, sometimes in the evening. Sometimes it's late at night, and even during the day, you may run into groups of monster squads.

It's not surprising that there are about one or two heads when there are few, and when there are twenty or thirty heads.

In this regard, Su Wen couldn't think of too good a countermeasure. And the two great strategists Huang Longshi and Xun Chen also seemed helpless, after all, this was the first time they had fought on the land of southern Xinjiang.

In fact, before the beast attack took place. They don't think about that at all.

At this time, Su Wen even regretted it a little. If there is a little girl in the army following at this time, she will rely on her fire phoenix to coerce. Maybe you can scare these guys.

In the back, Su Wen had to draw out some good men in the army and set up more than a dozen patrols, and when he encountered the demon beasts that came to attack, he simply killed them as food, but he also saved a lot of food.

In addition, the most worrying thing for Su Wen really happened.

It's a disease.

As the soldiers continued to go deeper into the rainforests of southern Xinjiang, the humid climate and the bites of all kinds of mosquitoes caused many people to suffer from a disease called dengue fever that Su Wen had heard of in his previous life.

Fortunately, Su Wen had a certain precaution against this matter, and Zhang Zhongjing had also made corresponding preparations before, so the epidemic did not expand, but was quickly stabilized, but in this way, it inevitably slowed down the march of the whole army.

For Su Wen, this war must not be taken lightly, so he would rather be slower and keep the entire army in the best condition to fight the demons.

In this way, the Tiance army walked in southern Xinjiang for about a month, and finally saw the border of Nanshu County.

In the past month, news about the other two armies has also been coming to Su Wen's account, so he knows that the Holy Martial Army led by Yan Bei has started a small-scale encounter with the demon army, and the final result is that the human side has won a complete victory, and the demon race has lost about three hundred people.

In addition, the brave army under the Canglan Emperor has also arrived in Youzhou, but he has not seen half of the demon people, according to the battle report, when the Canglan Emperor's soldiers came to the earth and stone city in the north of Youzhou, the demon people inside have been slaughtered, leaving only a dead city like ruins to everyone.

When they saw this battle report, whether it was Su Wen, Xun Chen, or Huang Longshi, they all fell into silence for a long time.

Because they know what the demons want to do.

Tooth for tooth, blood debt for blood.

During the Holy War a hundred years ago, the combined forces of humans and demons raised troops from the Great River to attack the Demon Capital, and all the towns they passed through carried out a tragic massacre, leaving no chickens and dogs behind.

And now, the demons are doing the same.

Thinking of this, Su Wen couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, although it was the demon clan who suffered this tragedy now, but what if he waited until the demon clan was defeated?

Naturally, it was the turn of humans.

Su Wen must not let this happen.

So on the night of the same day, Su Wen ordered the entire Tiance army to camp outside Yecheng in the north of Nanshu County, while Tang Ji led 500 light cavalry to investigate the enemy's reality.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: the first army to attack the plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city.

This was the first time that Su Wen led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers as the commander of one side, and it was also his first battle.

Therefore, he wanted to try whether a war could really be won through simple strategy, and whether it could be achieved through the so-called "military strategy" to minimize his own losses.

Now, it's time to verify what the book says.
