The devil is coming

Chapter 258 Black Dragon Flag
"Three days, within three days, we will gather at the foot of Nanpo Mountain. Everyone must have a savage head tied around their waist. It doesn't matter whether they are spies sent by the savages in the snowy field or savages hunting nearby. It doesn't matter whether they are men or women. No matter how young or old, whoever comes back without his head, I will take off his head and hang it on my waist!"
"Follow your orders!"
"Follow your orders!"
In the mountains, forests and river valleys, Xue San knelt down in front of fifty of his subordinates who had been trained through "cramming" education.
The soldiers and horses of Shengle City, led by Liang Cheng, served as the vanguard of the Jingnan Army, leading the way, while Xue San's men and horses were in front of the vanguard army.
Although this route in the mountain has been cleared by Liang Cheng, and several villages have been removed for this purpose, Tianduan Mountain is vast and the terrain is complex. God knows if there will be any stray fish that slip through the net.
At the same time, we also need to be wary of the infiltration and monitoring of the place by the savages in the snowfield. Xue San will not command the army to fight, but he also knows that once the movements of this army and horses are discovered in advance, the savages in the snowfield will assemble an army and horses on the way out of the Yan army. There was an ambush, and no matter how hard the Yan army managed to attack, it would be defeated.
"Go all."
For a moment, everyone disappeared into the nearby woods, leaving only one person holding a cloth bag with hawthorn in his hand.
"Where did you get it?" Xue San looked down at this subordinate.
Xue San valued this subordinate very much, not because of his excellent qualifications, but because of his name. His surname was Dai, and his name was Li.
His name is Dai Li.
With this name, Xue San couldn't help but pay more attention to him. This Dai Li also came to Dao'er. Seeing that the chief officer had some "favor" for him, he came over often to flatter him and establish relationships.
"I'm just a kid. I thought I could stay with the adults all the time, so I carried it for the adults first. I don't want to be separated from the adults temporarily. I'll leave it to the adults."
Xue San reached out and took the hawthorn, nodded, and said a little more gently:
"Be careful."
Dai Li was so moved that he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xue San before turning around and disappearing into the forest.
He is from Jin and has surrendered. He is considered the worst in Shengle City's military system. Therefore, at this time, he will only cherish Xue San's approval even more.
In fact, Xue San just thinks that it doesn't matter whether others die or not. If this guy dies, it will always give people an extremely unlucky feeling, which is unlucky.
Moreover, after entering the mountain, he asked his subordinates to change his title. Since the boss is the factory owner, he should be called the Bureau Chief.
He reached out and grabbed a hawthorn, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Xue San unbuttoned his belt facing the stream in front of him.
I let out a wave of urine comfortably,
Shake,
I walked a few steps further upstream, knelt down and started washing my hands.
San'er liked Marquis Jingnan quite a lot, not because of his relationship with his master, but because he felt that this man was very particular about fighting.
The Jingnan Army also sent sentry cavalry out to kill the savages on the march. In Xue San's opinion, this was what a serious war looked like.
If everyone is like Li Fusheng and rushes to do it, then what's the use of waiting for others?
Alas, not knowing how to use spies to broaden your horizons is simply a blasphemy against the art of war.
Patted his face with water,
Xue San did a few more stretching exercises.
Then his figure also melted into the forest in front of him.
.........
The army cannot march too fast, but in order to save time, the rest time during the march is deliberately reduced. Fortunately, it is not a fast attack. For these elites of the Jingnan Army who have experienced the war, it is not a big deal. How difficult.
After marching for ten days, Marquis Jingnan finally ordered to camp and rest.
People need to tidy up, and war horses also need to tidy up.
Zheng Fan was sitting in his tent. In front of him, Bald Hair Su brought freshly cooked noodles to him.
I don’t know who is the one who has no clue.
It was the bald heir who "examined the holy will" after seeing Siniang and thought he understood his own taste.
So during this period of march, whenever he had the opportunity, he asked Bald Hair Su to come to Zheng Fan to serve him.
Now the army is resting and setting up camp to rest for three consecutive days, which is a good time for some exercise.
Zheng Fan brought his own chili noodles, sprinkled some on the noodles, and started eating directly. During the march, Siniang was not around, so it was good to be able to eat this.
After eating and drinking, Zheng Fan took the towel handed over to him and wiped his face. Zheng Fan returned to his tent to rest.
The human body actually has a period of fatigue. Zheng Fan and Marquis Jingnan traveled back and forth to the snowy fields without stopping. After returning, he immediately went out with the army. Even though his body was well fed, his mental fatigue was already very obvious.
Lying on the blanket in the tent, Zheng Fan just wanted to relax.
At this time, Tu Fasu came in on his knees. Zheng Fan turned his head and looked at her. She also looked at Zheng Fan, and then she started to take off her clothes.
In fact, the hair growth is not bad, and there are indeed some weather and edges on the face. This is inevitable. In the land of Shengle City, a woman comes out to make a living and wants to be as well-maintained as the ladies of the Qian Kingdom. It's not realistic, and she does have a good figure.
I heard from Saner that she had a son and a daughter, and her husband died of illness five years ago.
"Put it on, I'm not in the mood."
Tufasu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and put his clothes back on.
"You can stay with me from now on and just take care of food and drink."
Zheng Fan was too lazy to say too much. The bald successor sent her here, and his intention was obvious. Even if he didn't want to, there was no need to put this woman in a dilemma.
The atmosphere in this world is like this. Even the scholar-bureaucrats like Wen Sutong often give away their granddaughters and daughters. You can't ask a powerful little patriarch of a place to have much integrity.
"Clean my armor and sword. Thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, Master."
Bald Hair Su saluted Zheng Fan and then stood up slowly, taking Zheng Fan's armor and knife out to wipe them.
Zheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief and tried to let himself sleep for a while longer.
To be honest, he is not very enthusiastic about this war. If he had to choose, he still hopes to immerse himself in farming in Shengle City for a few years, just like playing Monopoly and having a sense of accomplishment. ?
Or, after farming, you can accompany the caravan with Siniang in casual clothes and go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the temples and Taoist temples, and see how the literati still fanned in the winter. Dressed elegantly.
You can even go to a sect and learn something, or go to Yanjing to find a magician fighting qi or something, and see if you can also become a magician and a martial artist.
There are still too many places in this world that I have not explored or experienced. As a result, I can only continue to lie in a daze in the cold tent.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and sighed in his heart:
Fallen, fallen;
After I had a city and some capital in my hands, I began to think about living a petty bourgeoisie life.
Either way, or...
This sleep lasted until dawn. After catching up on sleep, my energy and energy finally returned.
Breakfast is pimple soup, which is not as rich as later generations. It is just a soup made from ground pimples.
Moreover, if we talk about cooking skills, Zheng Fan feels that his cooking skills are much better than those of Bald Hair Su. This woman obviously doesn't cook much on weekdays, at least, she doesn't really pay attention to food.
Alas, Si Niang is better, she is beautiful, gentle and can cook.
After eating, Zheng Fan put on his armor again, then sat down on the stone outside the tent and began to be in a daze.
He was obviously the commander-in-chief of an army, but he was summoned by the Marquis of Jingnan to serve as a mascot in the Chinese army;
His subordinates were led by Liang Cheng in front, which meant that he had nothing to do at this time, at least until the Marquis of Jingnan called him to go to the commander's tent, he had nothing else to do.
It is not your turn to inspect the military stronghold, and it has nothing to do with you to check the morale of the soldiers.
These days, Zheng Fan feels like the kind of "eunuch who oversees the army" that he read about when reading history.
It was almost noon when Zheng Fan received the order from Marquis Jingnan to go to the commander's tent to discuss matters.
In the commander's tent, there were a total of four generals and one general. They all had lunch quietly with Marquis Jingnan.
Lunch was very simple. Just soak the steamed buns in water. Everyone from the Marquis of Jingnan on down was eating this.
After Zheng Fan came in, some soldiers also brought him a meal of "Remembering the Bitter and Thinking of the Sweet".
resignedly,
I can only bite the bullet and start chewing.
In fact, the army was not short of food. Although they were heartbroken that they had consumed so much money and food to support this expedition, Si Niang and the blind man were still very angry. They were going to be slaughtered anyway, so they might as well do it beautifully and at least pay. It's a good idea to leave it behind.
Therefore, there is no skimping on food and grass, and we even try our best to do the best.
Marquis Jingnan has finished eating.
The others also finished eating,
Zheng Fan, who came last, silently stuffed the last piece of steamed buns into his mouth.
fuck,
This is definitely not our own food. There are actually stones in this nest.
"Woooo..."
Zheng Fan was choked,
Yes,
In the handsome tent, Zheng Fan clutched his chest, feeling very painful.
At this time, a commander named Wang Ge who was standing next to him came over kindly, patted Zheng Fan on the back a few times, and then brought a bowl of water over for Zheng Fan to drink.
"call…………"
comfortable.
The rest of the people watched this scene happen silently.
so close,
The high-ranking generals who died in this expedition are about to be born.
Tian Wujing glanced at Zheng Fan and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Zheng Fan shook his head, then bowed his hands to express his apology.
Wang Ge joked: "I heard someone say before that our brother Zheng was born in a merchant's family. It seems that he really didn't have a hard life."
This was a friendly joke with no specific purpose. You could tell it from Wang Ge's tone. After all, everyone knew how much Tian Wujing valued Zheng Fan and would not be so stupid as to give him eye drops in front of him.
When the generals around him heard this, they all laughed.
Tian Wujing pressed his hands, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"On this expedition, the food and drink in the mountains these days are all thanks to Zheng Chengshou's support. You all owe Zheng Chengshou a favor."
When Wang Ge and other generals heard this, they all saluted Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan could only return the salute again.
"Today's meal is specially ordered by me. I want to scrape the fat and water in your stomachs first, so as not to make you tired of the fat cattle and sheep when we enter the snowfield the next day."
"Hahaha…………"
The generals laughed.
"In one day's journey, our army can pass through the Tianduan Mountains and enter the snowfield, Wang Ge and Zhang Cheng."
"The end is here!"
"The end is here!"
"You two will lead [-] soldiers and horses as the right army, with Wang Ge as the leader."
"The last general takes orders!"
"Xiao Mingxuan, Li Dingdong."
"The end is here!"
"The end is here!"
"You two lead [-] troops as the left army, led by Xiao Mingxuan."
"The last general takes orders."
"I set off one day in advance, leading my own [-] cavalry, and joining the vanguard army Shengle City's [-] cavalry as the central army. We entered the snowy field first, and the two armies on the left and right dragged behind to cover and follow our central army."
All the generals said in unison:
"The last general takes orders!"
It was said to be a discussion in the tent, but in fact nothing was discussed. The overall combat idea was very simple, that is, I lead the Chinese army to lead the way, and you follow my route.
Ignore any advance routes, strategic goals, strategic plans, etc. You just follow my lead.
This was Marquis Jingnan's plan for this war. Zheng Fan knew that it was based on Tian Wujing's personal exploration of the snowfield.
The vast snowfield is another completely unfamiliar battlefield for the Yan Army soldiers. When they enter the snowfield for the first time, everyone is blind to everything in the snowfield. No matter how good a battle plan you make, it will be useless. , you may even get lost, but on the contrary, this one may seem simple, direct or even sloppy, but it is the safest.
The key lies in the performance of the guide dog Tian Wujing.
After the generals left the commander's tent, they began to prepare individually. Zheng Fan stayed in the commander's tent to help carry some things. Anyway, he was idle.
After everything was packed up, Tian Wujing got on the Pi beast.
Zheng Fan looked at the brave beast in front of him, and the brave beast also looked at Zheng Fan. Then, the brave beast actually rolled its eyes at Zheng Fan.
"..." Zheng Fan.
"After returning from this expedition, I will help you ask for one from the palace."
"Thank you Hou Ye!"
Zheng Fan had long been jealous of this beast, and the beast Tian Wujing helped to obtain would definitely have a lower bloodline level, and would not be like Xu Pangpang's unicorn.
Then feed it some elixir to accelerate ripening, or feed it some vampire blood or zombie blood to see if it can stimulate the bloodline.
The Chinese army's [-] troops were quickly prepared and set off ahead of schedule. One day later, they joined the vanguard army led by Liang Cheng, totaling more than [-] horses, and began to leave the mountain.
.........
"Onda, the tribes here are simply a bunch of trash. They don't deserve the strong physique given by the stars."
"Quemu, my good brother, please put away your complaints. They have already given us food and water. What more do we want?"
"Onda, the tribes here are very rich. They should contribute their warriors to the king's great cause!"
Onda touched his beard. He felt that the brother in front of him was so cute and honest.
They were ordered by the king to lead five thousand warriors to the west, because the news came a few days ago that the Yan people were making great movements in the mountains in this area, and many savages who originally lived in the mountains in this area were He had to escape from his home and come to the snowfield to survive.
This group of people is actually here to guard.
There were originally many tribes here. Because these tribes were adjacent to the Tianduan Mountains, they had learned to do business over the decades, and caravans would come over from time to time, so they lived a good life. It is more comfortable than the tribes in other parts of the snowfield.
When Angda accompanied the king on his business trip, he had been here many times, so he naturally knew how much benefit trade could bring to the tribe.
Even though most of the money has been stolen by unscrupulous merchants from Yan, Jin and Qian, the tribes on the snowy plains can still obtain some of the most precious materials.
"Quemu, don't be angry with them. The king's reputation has spread here. Didn't you see that when these tribes saw our arrival, they took the initiative to send food, water, tents and sheep?
They do not resist being led by the king. After the king resolves the war at Xuehaiguan, the king's banner will come here in person, and the warriors of these tribes will become the king's most loyal followers. "
"But, why can other people fight with the Jin people in Xueguan, but we have to come so far here?
All the soldiers and horses of the Jin people are at Xuehaiguan. What should we be prepared for here? "
This is what Que Mu is most puzzled about. He and Angda are both warriors under the king. What he longs for is to tear apart the Jin people who had oppressed him on the battlefield, instead of coming here to drink the sheep here. Milk!
Onda's eyes became deeper,
The savage's vision was still too narrow. Wang had lamented this to Onda more than once.
As a warrior who had walked outside with Wang, Onda knew how vast the outside world was.
"The people we are guarding against are the Yan people."
Onda said seriously.
"Yan people? Why do Yan people come here?" Que Mu felt incredible.
"Are you sure that the Yan people will never come here?"
"This...but..."
Onda said in a deep voice:
"Are the Jin people powerful?"
"The Jin people have been defeated by me now, and their emperor has been defeated by us."
"I'm confused, that's just a part of the Jin people. There are three families of Jin people. Over the years, it's only one family of Jin people that has been at war with our tribe."
"I know there are two more Jin people."
"It's gone. It's gone now. Those two Jin families have been annexed by the Yan people. The Yan people have occupied their territory and captured their population!"
"So what? If the Yan people dare to come to the snowfield, I will lead the warriors to tear them apart. I will surround their heads in a circle and sacrifice them to the stars!"
Onda reached out and patted his forehead,
The Que Mu in front of him is very powerful and one of the most powerful people under the king's command, but his brain...
Angda recalled the scene when he and Wang were in Beifeng County, and the image of the Zhenbei Army in black armor also appeared in his mind;
"Que Mu, please put away your ignorance and arrogance!"
"I………"
"Yes, I also think it is impossible for the Yan people to come to the snowy field, because I really can't think of a reason why the Yan people would come to the snowy field, and the same goes for Wang.
The strange movement in the Broken Mountains today may be that the Yan people are cleaning up nearby settlements. This is normal. When the Helian family of the Jin people was around, they would go into the mountains from time to time to clean up the settlements.
But it is precisely because they are Yan people that the king would rather send you and me here to watch. You don’t know the importance of the Yan people in the king’s heart, and you have never seen the power of the Yan people! "
Back then, the still young me and Wang leaned in the tent outside the Zhenbei Hou Mansion after finishing their busy work, and the two of them looked up at the stars together.
The stars in the desert are as bright and clear as the stars in the snowfield.
Angda remembered that Wang asked himself: Who is more powerful, our saints or the barbarians?
After being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and replied: Barbarians are stronger.
Their horses are taller, their warriors are stronger, and their riding and shooting skills are sharper.
The king asked again: How do we compare with the Yan people?
Onda was speechless, because the extremely powerful barbarians were suppressed by the Yan people in the desert. The result was too clear.
Although the queen later said that our holy race will also become stronger in the future, we will take back the homeland that the survivors of Daxia took away from our ancestors, and we will become as powerful as the barbarians and the Yan people.
But the shadow imprinted on Angda's heart by the Yan people was still too deep.
And the little girl... who left that scar on the king's face.
That day, Wang was almost executed. After he came back from being whipped, he was not angry or painful at all. Instead, he pointed to the scars on his face and said to himself:
That little girl will become my "empress" in the future.
"Onda, Onda!"
Que Mu's shout woke Onda from his thoughts.
"Que Mu, you don't have to obey my orders, but you must respect the king's will. Do you still remember what the king said to you before setting off?"
"Remember………"
Onda took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Then please remember, when you see the black dragon flag, please put down all your pride."
Que Mu clenched his fists tightly and made a "crunching" sound. Obviously, he was extremely unconvinced.
Onda put his hand on Que Mu's shoulder,
Comforted:
"Okay, when the king's army breaks into Xuehaiguan, you will have a chance to fight against the Yan people. By then, you can completely prove your bravery.
Now, please help me send someone to notify the leaders of the nearby tribes and ask them if there has been any news from the tribal warriors I asked them to send into the mountains. "
"Humph."
Que Mu turned around and left the tent.
Onda exhaled and pursed his lips.
There was something that Que Mu didn't know. In other words, no one in the entire tribe knew about it except a few people including himself and the king.
That is, Wang Zeng sent a team to Yanjing, hoping to send troops together with the emperor of the Yan people to destroy the Situ family.
But that team of envoys,
No news since then.
.........
After the Yan army came out of the mountains, they did not immediately gallop into the snowfield, but regrouped. While taking a final rest, they also had to wait for the follow-up of the two armies. Not to mention waiting for them to come out together, but they also had to get closer. Check the distance between each other.
At this time, Zheng Fan returned to his army and directly found Liang Cheng.
"Lord?"
"Don't talk nonsense now. My time is limited and I have to go back to Marquis Jingnan later."
"This is Tian Wujing's deliberate cultivation of the master."
Fighting takes you with you, and there is no more luxurious internship opportunity than this.
"Damn it, sir, I spent so much effort to raise the troops, but I can't personally command them. After pulling out a group of troops, I have to run to become my own soldiers."
Not to mention that Zheng Fan didn't have such a big grievance. After all, he pulled this team out by himself. It's like you bought a toy with so much hard work, but you couldn't play with it yourself. Instead, a big brother took it from you. Toy, shamelessly say to you:
Come, brother, teach you how to play, and watch carefully.
"My lord, this time it's..."
"Oh, I almost forgot. Please tell me quickly, how to fight this time. Don't be too specific, just talk about the general direction. I have a feeling that Tian Wujing will test me later."
These days, Tian Wujing has kept Zheng Fan in the Chinese Army. From time to time, he will ask Zheng Fan some military questions. Some of the questions are quite profound, and he will deliberately let Zheng Fan think about them before answering.
Just like when the teacher used to leave homework in school, it was due the next day.
Zheng Fan took the opportunity and ran to the former army to find Liang Cheng. After getting the standard answer from Liang Cheng, he went back to find Tian Wujing the next morning:
"I thought deeply about it all night and finally came to an understanding. Do you think I am right..."
After every answer, Zheng Fan could feel the satisfied look in Tian Wujing's eyes. Sometimes, some of Zheng Fan's answers could even make Tian Wujing think deeply and feel deeply.
Therefore, no one is an omniscient and omnipotent god, and the same is true for Tian Wujing;
Perhaps, in Tian Wujing's view, Zheng Fan was a rising "general star", but little did he know that he was "communicating" with another military master every day.
Zheng Fan suffered a lot, because he was worried that the standard answers he copied were too standard, so sometimes he would deliberately ignore some and blur some to make the answers look exciting enough but not perfect enough;
This will allow Marquis Jingnan to feel satisfied after hearing the answer, and still have room to "give guidance" to you.
In this way, Marquis Jingnan can also feel happy after paying the job, a win-win situation.
"My lord, the strategy is actually very clear. Tian Wujing personally leads the central army, and the left and right armies behind him serve as support and support. Taking into account the situation on the snowy field, the method of a pack of wolves chasing a sheep should be used to drive the sheep away. The shepherd dogs in the group are killed first, that is, the strongest tribes are selected to fight and killed. The remaining tribes are likely to be frightened and collapse. They must seize the opportunity to fight or not start a war. Once the war begins, we must fight all the way, and we must not allow the savages in this snowfield to have the opportunity of many tribes gathering together to form a coalition."
Liang Cheng was still talking here, and the dirty Xue San came over. Xue San had been missing for a long time. When the army was still marching in the Tianduan Mountains, he might have sneaked into the snowy field and went there in advance. Searching for news.
"San'er, you've been away for so many days, but you're worried about me." After Zheng Fan finished speaking, he immediately turned to Liang Cheng and said, "If you have anything to add, please tell me quickly."
I am preparing to perform a series of sad drama routines;
Xue San: “…………”
Immediately, Xue San came over and said:
"My lord, I have the latest military information here. My lord, please hand it over in exchange for credit. Let's just say that you personally detected it, my lord."
Liang Cheng smiled "haha" and said, "San'er, you haven't been here for the past few days. You don't know that the master has classes in Tian Wujing's army basically every day."
"Uh..." Xue San was stunned for a moment.
Zheng Fan said nonchalantly: "That's okay. I'll take you San'er to report to Tian Wujing later."
.........
"The last general, Xue San, meets the Marquis of Jingnan."
Xue San took the initiative to come over and salute, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.
Zheng Fan walked over, took the paper, made eye contact with Xue San, then turned around and handed the paper to Jingnan Hou.
Marquis Jingnan spread out the paper and found that what was drawn on it was actually the distribution map of several forces in the area in front of him. It was drawn with charcoal and was a bit rough.
In fact, Xue San originally wanted to draw contour lines or something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to add too much.
Tian Wujing quickly discovered something wrong with the position and said:
"An extra tribe?"
"Returning to the Marquis, this tribe should have moved here recently. It is more like a troop than a tribe, stationed on a green beach in the northeast."
"Number of people."
"Back to the Marquis, there are about 5000 people, half of them wearing armor."
"Sure?"
"It's a little sure, there won't be anything wrong."
"it is good."
Tian Wujing turned his head and looked at Zheng Fan, who was standing beside him, and said:
"If I remember correctly, this is also your subordinate, right?"
Because Xue San's image is so "unforgettable" that it is difficult not to leave an impression.
"Yes, my lord."
"You are good at recruiting talents."
"The final general is just looking for talents for the Marquis."
Tian Wujing directly ignored this flattery.
"It seems that this extra army of soldiers and horses should have been recently transferred from the front line of Snow Customs in Northeast China. The Savage King has indeed given me Dayan face."
No one expected that the Yan State would send troops, not even Zheng Fan before receiving the order. However, when the war was at its most tense, the Savage King specially sent five thousand troops to watch here. This vigilance is enough to be called excellent.
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan,
Road:
"Zheng Chengshou."
"The end is here."
"What do you think next? Which one should we fight first?"
Guessed the question correctly.
“Just fight this army sent by the Savage King.
In front of many nearby tribes, I will defeat and eat these soldiers and horses, so that they will feel the terror of my Dayan Iron Cavalry from the first moment, make them scared, make them despair, and finally make them become They became a panicked flock, and we were a pack of wolves on the snowfield, biting them all the way and letting their blood soak the snowfield! "
Zheng Fan simplified the answer given by Liang Cheng, and finally added an "exaggerated" rhetorical technique as a lyrical ending.
It can be seen that Tian Wujing is very satisfied with Zheng Fan's answer.
"The savage king has been stealing from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for several years, and he has actually caused trouble. Now, it's the master's turn to take care of his apprentice."
Following the order from Marquis Jingnan,
Tens of thousands of cavalry began to move. They no longer covered or hid, and openly trampled the ground beneath their feet with the iron hooves of their horses.
Under the galloping cavalry,
The black dragon flag flutters in the wind!
