Chapter 62: Secretly Crossing Chen Cang
Three thousand years ago, after the demon queen was suppressed by the five major cultivators in the northern Lock Demon Tower, the demon clan in the north has been in a split. At that time, the northern demon clan was divided into ten major forces: the bear clan, the werewolf clan, the jackal clan, the rat clan, the minotaur clan, the centaur clan, the sheep-headed clan, the desert spider clan, the giant beast clan, and the snow leopard clan.
And the ten demon clans are fighting their own battles, and different forces have gathered their own demon clan's armies to attack the human race. But because they don't know how to write, the demon race has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with the human race.
Why do you say that, because although they are both demon clans, there is too much difference in the physical fitness of different demon clans, such as the bear people, they are all strong and strong, with rough skin and thick flesh, even if they are shot by the bed crossbow of the human race, they can continue to fight, but the body of the bear people is too thick and they advocate strength, which causes the warriors of the bear people to love close combat, but they are ashamed of long-range combat. Lacking long-range fire support, the slow bears were often shot into hedgehogs in the field by Terran archers.
Contrary to the Bears. Because of their thin bodies, the sheep-headed human race is more inclined to shoot their opponents from a long distance, so the archers and spear-throwers of the sheep-headed human race are civilized with the major demon clans of the demon race. However, because of their thin bodies and poor in close combat, the soldiers of the sheep-headed human race are often suddenly sieved by the heavy cavalry of the human race, and this is the case for ordinary demon soldiers, and the same is true for the cultivators of the demon race.
This was originally a matter that could be solved by concerted operations, but the leaders of the various forces of the demon clan still looked down on each other, and without the demon queen, they would have no core. And the sudden appearance of a shrine maiden has caused the divided demon clan to be reunited in the last few years and become strong again.
The holy temple, the most sacred temple in the hearts of the demon clan. The maids in the temple were made witches by the demon clan, all the witches are demon fox tribesmen, this race is sparsely populated, and women are respected, they do not participate in the struggle of the demon clan, only responsible for sacrifices. Such a small clan, but suddenly an outlier appeared.
Lisa, a beautiful white demon fox shrine maiden, after becoming a shrine maiden, did not indulge in chanting scriptures and serving the demon gods like other shrine maidens. Instead, he prefers to read the various historical texts in the temple. He summarized the reasons for the failure of the demon race in the history of the demon race, and in order to understand the human race better, she even disguised herself and lived in the north for several years.
And when she returned to the temple again, she claimed that she had been favored by the god of the demon clan, and the god of the demon clan would guide her to lead the demon clan to rescue the demon queen and recreate the glory of occupying the entire Zhongzhou back then. The major chieftains of the demon clan naturally did not believe her words, and some of them even asked the elders of the temple to burn her at the stake as a heretic.
Regarding the questioning of the chieftains of the major demon clans, Lisa did not defend anything. She simply pointed to her amber eyes and said that she could see the future, and had successfully predicted many astronomical phenomena. Although his methods are nothing more than a little trick in the eyes of the Terrans. But those demon chiefs who are keen on killing and don't know how to use power are convinced of her.
In this way, the white fox used the power techniques he learned from the human race to gain the support of the bear tribe, the giant beast clan, the centaur clan and other chiefs, while the other chiefs led by the wolf clan and the snow leopard clan expressed their opposition, but for the demon clan who paid attention to the meat and the strong. The white fox, which was supported by most of the powerful tribes, was successfully elected by all the forces to become the mastermind of the demon clan.
The first thing the white fox who became the mastermind of the demon clan did was military reform, and she broke up and integrated the demon clan armies of different races. Formed a new demon unit with the "legion" as the combat unit, and the new "legion" combat unit, because of the joint operation of different races of the demon race, the combat power has been greatly improved, and soon the demon clan in the north from weak to strong, and gradually expand their advantages, not long after, the land north of the three passes fell into the hands of the demon clan.
And the cultivators of the demon clan were also integrated after being broken up by the white fox, and all of them were incorporated into their newly built "legion", the establishment of the demon clan's "legion" is generally 80,000 ordinary soldiers and 2,000 demon cultivators. This time, in the generation from Wuning Pass to Yanmen Pass, the Demon Clan sent a full five legions, and at Bauhinia Pass on the Eastern Front, the Demon Clan also arranged three legions as a containment. The strength of the demon clan on this expedition exceeded forty percent of the total strength of the demon clan. It can be described as a huge momentum.
But what is strange is that the demon clan gathered a large number of ordinary soldiers and demon clan cultivators in front of Wuning Pass, but they only besieged it. The same is true for Bauhinia Pass in the east.
"I'm afraid this group of demons are doing something wrong again, right?" In the big tent of Wuning Pass, Yelu Baiyu, the general of the Imperial Forbidden Army, said while looking at the map.
"General Baiyu rest assured, this demon is a demon after all, can you play with your brain, can you play with us? The general of the Beitang Army sitting on the side, Beitang Xiaotian's second brother Beitang Xiaoren said.
"Yes, my second brother said yes, to say that we didn't prepare some time ago, we suffered a little loss in the wild, but we are now in the passes, these passes are like pieces of hard bones, can only be gnawed a little bit, now there are your reinforcements, they dare to gnaw their front teeth. The general of the Beitang Army on the side, Beitang Xiaotian's third brother, Beitang Xiaoming, also echoed.
"I'm just afraid that they will repair the plank road in the dark, and now that Wuning Pass and Bauhinia Pass are hot, why is there no movement at that point, I'm afraid that this group of monsters doesn't want to attack the west, right?" Yelu Baiyu said with some concern.
"This partial pass is a rugged and winding mountain road inside and out, it is the most difficult way for the demon clan to go south, and the demon clan has never chosen to go south for three thousand years. Moreover, the reinforcements of the Xicheng family are galloping to the side pass, and if they want to attack the side pass head-on, they only need more than three times the number of troops. The main force of the demon clan is pressed on us, the movement of the three legions is not small, and it is impossible for the beacon tower along the way not to be discovered, even if the people on the beacon tower are blind, we have arranged nearly a thousand cultivators at the partial pass, and the cultivators on our side can arrive at the rescue in time from the partial pass to our cultivators. Regarding Yelu Baiyu's concerns, Beitang Xiaoren didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Then we can only hope that everything is as General Xiaoren expected. I felt that Beitang Xiaoren's words were indeed reasonable, and Yelu Baiyu didn't argue anything, but continued to look at the map in a daze.
At a beacon tower somewhere in the north, several officers and soldiers were smoking on the platform, but they saw a group of people driving mules and horses not far away coming towards them.
"What are you doing?" the officers and soldiers asked vigilantly when they saw a stranger appear.
An old man over seventy years old came out of the group, and seeing that it should be the leader of these people, he first saluted the champion, and then said slowly: "We are a caravan that is going to the north to run merchants. ”
After hearing the old man's reply, the commander in charge came out and said, "Go, go, hurry back, haven't you heard of a war in the north? The passes are all sealed, and the people in front of the beacon tower don't know what to think, so they have all put you here." ”
"In that case, we have also gone a long way, so we will rest at your place first, and when we have finished eating, we will go back. After listening to the words of the Wu Commander, the old man beckoned the others to rest not far from the beacon tower.
Wu Chang saw that he wanted to drive away, but was stopped by the old man, who said that they just had something to eat, and left after eating, and gave Wu Chang some water, wine and spirit stones. After the commander took the advantage, he naturally turned a blind eye, leaving only one guard to watch these merchants and eat the wine offered by the old man with the other officers and soldiers of the beacon tower.
After drinking, Wu Chang suddenly felt some abdominal pain, and soon fainted to the ground, unconscious......
