Two days later, in the afternoon, the hinterland of the Zichen Legion war zone.

As the fierce battle drew to a close, the unknown ruined town was now completely quiet, except for the occasional screams and curses. Only the black smoke that was still emitting from all over the city was wafting in the cold wind, and there was nowhere to go.

City gates, walls, streets...... Blood was everywhere, and stiff corpses that had not yet cooled down could be seen everywhere inside and outside the city. There are Zichen soldiers in standard armor, there are also Northern Barbarians with vigorous body hair, and occasionally you can see a few ordinary people. However, judging from the figures of the barbarians who were wandering around the battlefield, this tragic battle for the town obviously ended in victory on the side of the barbarians.

Although there were still a few sporadic battles in the city, the battle was undoubtedly over. The barbarians at the gate of the city were already cleaning the battlefield, and the way was simple and rude, that is, they directly stripped off the armor and weapons of the Bran soldiers and piled them aside. Then they searched roughly, and if they didn't find anything, they threw them into the big pit they had dug and buried them en masse. If you find coins, salaries and other trophies, you will crack your mouth and laugh a few times, unceremoniously put it in your pocket, and then continue to lift the other party's corpse and throw it into the pit......

Don't be funny, have you ever seen a wild beast bury the bones of its prey after eating it? This is the way the barbarians behave, they don't want to have a grand burial. Even if they encounter the corpses of their own people, they will search for them, and then throw them into another big pit and bury them collectively......

Soon, after the city gates were roughly cleared. The large group of men and horses waiting outside the city moved slowly, and passed through the dilapidated city gate one after another.

Laughing, "Haha...... The city was lost. The Zichen Legion is gone. Then it's time for us to reap the benefits. "The importance of strategic location. It's not about the size of the town. Rather, it's determined by its location, and sometimes even a humble level is more important than a large city. And in the eyes of this laughing barbarian veteran, occupying the current small city is undoubtedly an extremely important strategic part.

"Yes, take this town of Bran. The Zichen Defense Zone, where there is almost no dangerous place to defend in the rear, is the boundless grassland where my Northern Wilderness warriors gallop at will......"

"It's finally here...... Damn, there used to be that damn Zi Yi in charge, and we could only look at this gluttony on the map. Now I'm finally able to set foot on this land, haha......"

"Haha, what is Ziyi. Even if Zi Yi is not dead, it will definitely not stop our Highness's clever calculations......"

"That's right, then Zi Yi should be glad that he died early, otherwise if he encounters our Highness, how can he still have his great reputation......"

......

I watched the army under his command advance step by step to an important position that the tribe had not occupied for more than a hundred years, and it was still a war zone where the Zichen Legion was stationed. The barbarian generals were naturally ecstatic, and in their excitement, even Zi Yi, who had been dead for a year, was pulled out to tell the story. The words are very contemptuous.

"All right, uncles. And so continue your praise. I don't even know what to say. Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Lan Sha, who was surrounded in the middle, looked a little helpless, "Moreover, although that Zi Yi is a Bran, he is indeed a generation of battlefield talents, and he uses soldiers like a god." It's a shame that I didn't get to play against him in person, but if we do see him on the battlefield, I'm not very sure. ”

"Haha, Your Highness is too modest...... just as the people of Bran worship Zi Yi very much, and the barbarian veterans who have been invincible all the way with Lansha almost unconditionally trust this new commander who has just taken office. Now when I hear Lan Sha say the majestic words of others, she naturally doesn't believe it, but she is polite and humble.

And Lan Sha, who has read Ziyi's many command campaign information, of course knows that the name of the military god is worthy of its name. But now all the generals praised her, and it was not good to dismiss everyone's minds, so after thinking about it, she smiled and diverted the topic: "Hehe, don't talk about this." The combat effectiveness of the Zichen Legion is amazing, as long as it has not been completely defeated, it is not yet known...... Well, I heard that my brother's side has officially broken through the blockade of the Thunder Legion a few days ago, and now it's time to attack the hinterland of Bran, right?

"Your Highness...... Well, there is such news. ”

"Hmph, it's just relying on our side to take advantage of the opportunity......

"Hehe, I can't say that, His Highness Tiu still has some real skills......"

At the mention of Tiu, the barbarian generals suddenly restrained their excitement and excitement, and they were a little taboo. Even if there are those who are not angry, they are quickly overshadowed by others. However, this is only a superficial attitude, it should be regarded as the awe of the royal family, and they don't care much about Tiu himself, and even have some disdain.

The actual situation is more or less like this, and in my heart, Tiu has the ability to fight. Previously, he had been following the old commander of the tribe all the year round, and under the influence of hearing and seeing, the level of tactical command was also very good. But it depends on who you compare with, if you compare it with Lan Sha, who is the first to take charge of the handsome seal and kill the Quartet, there is undoubtedly a significant gap.

Take the current invasion war as an example, the two fronts of Zichen and Cangyan, which Lan Sha commanded and commanded the attack, went hand in hand, and the momentum was like a bamboo, which was extremely amazing. Especially the Zichen Theater, which he commanded personally, is the benchmark leader in all previous fronts, and the advantage is not a second person. And the Thunder Theater attacked by Commander Tiwu, although it also played well, but it was nothing more than that. If you want to say that you can follow the other two war zones and not fall behind, it is because you secretly borrowed the aftermath of Lansha's side. After all, if the battle line on Zichen's side was lost, even if the Thunder Theater on the right side did not lose the battle line, in order to prevent being surrounded by the barbarians on the side of Zichen from the rear, it would have to abandon the battle line and retreat......

However, it should also be said that Tiu was lucky, he had been advancing with Lansha's side, but a few days ago, I don't know what kind of means he used, he was the first to break through the blockade of the Thunder Legion, attack the hinterland of Bran, and grab the first credit. This also made the barbarian veterans who followed Lansha very unconvinced after hearing this, thinking that the other party was taking advantage of this side.

Of course, Lansha could hear the meaning of everyone's words, and knew that they were holding grievances for themselves, but she didn't say anything. She didn't care much about this kind of thing, especially after faintly learning that Tiu, who had been very good to her in the past, was rumored to be a mystery of his birth. Secretly hostile to her. It is even more intentional to back down. Intended to fulfill the other party.

The generals didn't know what Lan Sha wanted. They only knew that Tiu was likely to be born to the Empress of the Northern Wilderness and Ziyi, and was not a real native of the Northern Wilderness, so it was impossible for him to inherit the throne of the royal family. In this way, he naturally does not think very much of him, and is only close to His Royal Highness Lansha, who is now the only one who is qualified to inherit......

"Hehe, of course His Highness Tiu has some real skills, but this time he has encountered a hard bone, and it will be difficult to really attack the hinterland of the Northern Wilderness......"

"Oh, what do you say?" the generals were stunned when they heard this. Lan Sha also cast a puzzled gaze on the middle-aged officer who spoke.

"I also heard the news not long ago that there is a cousin of the family who is serving under His Highness Tiu...... Well, I wonder if you've ever heard of the Gray Army?"

"What kind of army is that? Is there such a banner in the Bran Army?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it......"

The Northern Wilderness has not really entered the hinterland of Bran for hundreds of years, and it is naturally impossible for this group of generals to have heard of the Gray Army, and when they heard this, they all looked at each other with doubts on their faces. Only Lan Sha frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Is it the civilian army composed of ordinary people who can't resist the Bran Empire?"

"Your Highness is really insightful. It's really this Bran civilian army. The middle-aged barbarian officer was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but praise sincerely.

"I've only heard about it occasionally. In the information collected before the war, there was a mention of this special army in Bran...... Well, you go on. Waving his hand indifferently, Lansha said lightly, as if he had really only seen it somewhere occasionally.

And Andre, who was guarding on the side, looked a little strange when he heard this. He is Lan Sha's side, and his fiancée is Lan Sha's personal maid. Some of Lansha's behaviors didn't mean to avoid him, so he naturally knew that for a while, Lansha had secretly issued a secret order for the spies hidden in Bran's country to inquire about a Bran man named Arthur...... It was easy to find out, because according to the spies, Arthur's wanted portrait had already been hung all over Bran, but there was not much news, only that he was a member of the Gray Army, and by the way, he also sent back a piece of information about the Gray Army. Of course, I also know that Arthur is actually a pseudonym, and his real name is Donne...... For this reason, Andre found that Lansha had been in a bad mood for several days, constantly talking about liars, liars, or something......

The middle-aged officer continued, "After His Highness Tiu broke through the blockade line of the Thunder Legion, he did not encounter the Bran army that was chasing and intercepting him, but he just happened to run into this gray-clothed army...... At first, His Highness Tiwu didn't care about this civilian army, because it was said that the other party didn't even have standard armor, and the weapons they held were also varied, and they knew that they were a miscellaneous army at a glance. But when we actually fight...... Hehe, His Highness Tiu has suffered a big loss from his side!"

"Uh, how so?"

"It's impossible, the regular army of Bran can't withstand the attack of our tribal warriors, this ragtag army ......"

"Could it be that His Highness Tiu was careless and made a mistake in command?"

......

"No, it's not ......" Just when the generals were stunned and couldn't help but question their guesses, the middle-aged officer waved his hand again and again to deny it, and then seemed to think of something, and his expression was also a little puzzled and emotional, "Do you remember the strange weapon that the damn Zi Yi used when he broke through my tribe's imperial city? This gray-clothed army has it in his hands, and there are many ...... Of course, it was not only this weapon that caused His Highness Tiu's army to suffer greatly, but also those Bran civilian soldiers......"

After a pause, his expression became more complicated and indescribable, "I haven't seen the battle that took place there with my own eyes, but according to my cousin, this Bran army is very special, very special...... Once they enter the state of charge, when the two sides start a hand-to-hand battle, they are not afraid of the terrifying individual combat ability of our warriors at all, even if there is only one person left, they dare to swing their knives wildly at the warriors of our team...... If you have a weapon, you will cut it with a weapon, and if you have no weapon, you will smash it with your fist. If you cut off your fist, you bite it with your teeth, and when you cut off your legs, you will roll and fall down the ravine with your arms and your warriors, and you will die together...... One breath, as long as there is one breath, as long as they don't close their eyes! They won't stop attacking, never, everybody...... Call...... My cousin wrote that when he commanded his warriors to capture a hill, he saw with his own eyes that the warriors, who had no idea what they were afraid of, were beaten away three times, three times...... The other party is too crazy, too crazy! even more crazy than the cousins of our warriors on the battlefield, and even more bloodthirsty......"

Licking his dry lips, he looked at the generals who were stunned and led the army to stop at the gate of the city. The middle-aged officer spread his hands: "Doesn't it sound incredible?" I didn't believe it when I first saw it...... If I don't know my cousin's personality well. I never tell lies, and I don't want to believe that the hypocritical Bran, who has always liked to play tricks only on tricks, could be so brave and crazy...... I'd rather believe that it was just a joke and that my cousin was deliberately teasing me, though that wasn't likely to happen...... But, this should be true!"

The cold wind struck like a knife, whining as it passed through the city gate, like a terrible ghost howl. Weeping and complaining. A group of barbarian generals who had never been afraid of the cold with their vigorous body hair shivered when they heard the sound, thinking about the picture that the middle-aged officer had just said, and only felt a chill in their hearts.

They were barbarian generals, so they naturally knew the characteristics of the warriors under their command very well. To put it mildly, the brains of ordinary warriors are indeed very simple, and they can even be said to be stupid, and they can't turn around. But it is precisely because of these character traits that they are fearless and free of distractions on the battlefield. Like a beast, all it takes is a command. Even if he knew that there was a bombardment area in front of Bran, Bran's heavy weapon, Thor's hammer, he dared to scream and rush over without fear of death.

But the Bran ...... Or a person with a normal IQ, generally speaking, can't do this. Because their brains are spinning whenever and wherever they are. Maybe it's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm thinking about how to kill the enemy in front of me. But it is precisely because of these thoughts that they can't kill with their emotions and instincts on the battlefield, let alone do the crazy act of opening their mouths to drink blood after cutting off the enemy's head.

On the battlefield, it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, who is high and who is low. But one thing is for sure, in the crazy Cheng dù, there is no doubt that the simple-minded warriors are even better.

But now, the middle-aged officer was saying that this Bran civilian army was even more mad, mad, and bloodthirsty than the warriors of the tribe! How could it be! How did they overcome the superfluous distractions in their minds? How did they suppress the fear of death in their hearts? How did ......they turn themselves into wild beasts? Why?!

If there were a soldier of the Grey Army, he would have held his head high and proudly told these barbarian generals that they had faith in their hearts!

Or, more precisely, because they are ambitious!

With both hands, he has the ambition to build a stable home for his wife and children and even future generations!

With weapons, he has the ambition to fight his way out of this cannibalistic world!

has the ambition to overthrow this ugly empire that is rotten to the bones with his skull blood!

What do the poor have?

What do the poor need? Ambition! Ambition is ambition!

......

It's a pity that there are no gray soldiers here, so these stunned barbarian generals are destined not to know what this ragtag army is, and it will be even crazier than their warriors.

"The Gray Army...... Interesting...... No wonder ......" Compared to the barbarian generals who were in shock, Lan Sha's expression was much calmer, perhaps because he had long known that this civilian army was not simple, so after hearing this, he just muttered to himself, thoughtful.

Looking up, looking at the puzzled gazes cast by the generals who came back to their senses, he thought about it and explained, "After hearing the news that my brother broke through the blockade of the Thunder Legion a few days ago, I intuitively felt that something was wrong, but after studying the topographic map and synthesizing the information I collected, I still couldn't see where there were clues, so I didn't think much about it, I just thought that I was overhearted. But now it seems ......"

Spreading his hands, Lan Sha said a little helplessly, "This should be a trap deliberately set by Bran's side, the purpose is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and want to watch the situation where my brother's army and their henchmen are in danger of the gray coat army killing each other." ”

"Sizzle......" The middle-aged officer couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and his expression changed greatly, "It must be like this, that's right! No wonder His Highness Tiwu just tore open the gap and collided with the gray-clothed army...... How can such a coincidence happen, damn it, treacherous Bran!"

"I said how His Highness Tiu hit the hinterland of Bran so lightly, it turned out that he was used as a gun by the Brans......"

"Then shall we send someone to inform His Highness Tiu?"

"Don't think about it, you don't know the character of His Highness Tiu. It's okay if he doesn't suffer a loss, but now he has really suffered a big loss, even if we send someone to inform him that this is a trap, he won't retreat lightly......"

"That's ...... too"

"Someone!" Looking at the generals who were gloating and saying cool words, Lan Shaxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his expression sank, and he directly raised his head and beckoned Andre who was guarding the side, "Did you hear what we said just now...... Okay, immediately send someone to inform His Highness Tiu, so that he should not entangle with the Gray Army more, and it is the right thing to bypass the opponent's territory and enter the hinterland of Bran. ”

"Yes!" Although it was also guessed that Tiu would probably not care about Lansha's opinion, Andre simply nodded when he heard this.

"Wait......" Calling Andre, Lan Sha said again, "Don't say it's my opinion, well, just say it's Tai Lao's Jianyì." ”

Tai Lao is also a barbarian high-ranking general, but the other party is now fighting in the Cangyan War Zone. Of course, that's not the point, the point is that this man has a good relationship with Tiu...... Clearly, Lansha was aware of the problem. If Tiu had heard that she had come up with this opinion, she would probably have reversed it, and would have to capture the Grey Army.

Seeing that Lan Sha was determined to help Tiu, the barbarian generals around him were suddenly a little embarrassed, knowing that they didn't say anything good just now.

Just when the atmosphere was getting colder, a barbarian man was sweating profusely from the front, and he didn't have time to breathe, and hurriedly shouted: "General, the front is urgent! Several Zichen troops have counterattacked in a big way, and they have approached the front of our advancing front...... Whoop......"

"Uh...... What do you say?"

"How is it possible!"

"Have the Brans gone crazy en masse......"

...... (To be continued......)
