The devil is coming

Chapter 331 Carrying the Flag
What kind of official is the Chairman?
Jinshu didn't know much about it either. He had only heard of captains of corps, centurions, and thousands of captains, but he really didn't know that there was an official called the chairman.
Facing the eldest prince's question, Jin Shuke could only shake his head and said:
"Noble man, I don't know."
"You don't know either?"
"Yes, sometimes General Zheng and Mr. Bei do say some words that I don't understand, but I'm sure there must be profound meaning in those words, but I can't understand them yet.
For example, after the capture of Fengxin City last time, San Ye said in a chat with Li Ye that Situ Yi was simply the captain of the transportation brigade.
There are a lot of good things stored in the city. "
"Transportation Brigade Captain and Chairman of the Committee are both official positions, right?"
"Probably, yes, my lord."
"The one called Chairman seems to often forge imperial edicts. And since he compares people like Situ Yi to the captain of the transportation brigade, these two 'chiefs' should be in trouble."
"Yes."
"That's all, let's go to General Zheng and ask about it when we have the opportunity in the future. We have to go, Jin Shu Ke."
"As ordered."
"If we can come back alive this time, from now on, you can follow Gu.
The lonely princess is the daughter of the barbarian king. "
My wife is the daughter of the barbarian king, and I am the son-in-law of your barbarian people.
In the opinion of the eldest prince, this level of status has a natural bonus in attracting barbarians to work for him.
Jin Shuke suddenly said blankly:
"The wind is too strong, noble man, what did you just say?"
……
The speed of the savages was much faster than expected. Late at night after the night attack, sentry cavalry came to report that a large number of savage cavalry appeared on the southern periphery of Snow Customs.
After roughly estimating the size of the barbarians, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, Liang Cheng directly ordered all the sentries on the periphery to be brought into the city.
You only need to use the night attack method once. The savages are not fools and will not torture you one after another. At the same time, the opponent's size is too large and a night attack will easily destroy you.
You have to be radical when it's time to be radical, but when it's time to be patient, you really have to persevere.
There are twice as many soldiers patrolling the city wall as before. What you are best at is preventing others from using your signature moves to defeat you.
Sheng Lejun's favorite tactic is the "special forces seize the city" tactic, so they must be more vigilant. After all, the savages are like stepping on his balls with leather boots when losing the snow customs. At this time, they are willing to use any method Go and try, as long as you can quickly win this pass.
As for most of the other soldiers, Liang Cheng let them continue to rest. The savages had just arrived and the nearby trees had been cleared by him. They couldn't attack the city for the time being. They had to do carpentry work for at least two days, so There is no need to make the soldiers tired in advance as if they are facing a powerful enemy.
General Zheng ignored his injuries, put on his armor and went up to the tower to check the situation. Not far from the outside, wildling cavalry holding torches were roaming around.
"Is this a demonstration?" Zheng Fan asked Liang Cheng beside him.
"Yes, Lord, you are putting pressure on us."
"You really think we are scared."
Zheng Fan really doesn't look down on psychological attack methods now. The troops under his command were raised by him with his own money and hard work. If you are really at the end of your rope, you may need to worry about this, but you haven't yet. When it comes to actual fighting, there will be no problem with military morale.
It's just that the savages' fighting methods have not completely faded away from ignorance. There can still be faint chants over there, which are obviously the sacrifices of the savages. According to them, they should be called the Star Guiders, who are giving instructions from here. The warnings and curses of the stars.
"Hey, does this translate to mean that you should surrender quickly, otherwise we will destroy you on behalf of the moon?"
Several demon kings around him laughed,
Some soldiers from the Shengle Army nearby saw that the adults were laughing, so they laughed along with them.
"Are you all ready?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Lord, don't worry." Liang Cheng replied calmly, but at this time, as the actual general, he must have this attitude.
Because everyone knows that a truly cruel fight will come soon.
At this time,
There was a noise in the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw that many soldiers had raised their bows and arrows and pointed them upward.
"It's a falcon." Liang Cheng said, "Some tribes of savages will raise and tame this bird as a tool for battlefield monitoring and messaging. Some of the best varieties of falcons are similar to monsters."
"Is it watching us?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Haha, it looks like an unmanned reconnaissance drone."
Zheng Fan also raised his hand and waved at the falcon hovering above, without ordering the soldiers around him to shoot arrows.
"This bird is a bit small, and it doesn't look very domineering when it flies. I still think the Yanren's eagle is more majestic."
This is Aiwujiwu. Because of his natural closeness to the Yan Kingdom, many things in the Yan Kingdom are more pleasing to the eye.
"If I had known earlier, I should have asked Jingnan Marquis to bring two over for fun. Before the battle started, I would have let the eagle go out and circle twice, and then the cavalry would be galloping in my field of vision. This scene would be interesting enough."
"My lord, don't panic. Ali can tame animals. After returning to Shengle, you can go to the Tianduan Mountains to catch some flying monsters that are suitable for taming and train them for Ali."
"Well, Ali still has this ability?"
"Yes, he can even understand some bestiality."
"No wonder sometimes the words don't sound like human words. I understand."
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and patted the wall. Since the snow customs was opened, he actually did not send a messenger to convey this military information to the Marquis of Jingnan.
On the one hand, because of the long distance and the large number of barbarians and Chu people in the middle, it was difficult for ordinary knights to successfully return to the west bank of Wangjiang River to successfully convey this military information.
If you send too little, it will be useless and will not make a splash. If you send too much, it will be the time for you to employ people, and you will feel distressed.
In fact, sending Xue San to deliver the message is most appropriate and has the highest success rate, but Xue San's role here is too great and he really can't let go.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Liang Cheng is very sure that Marquis Jingnan on the west bank of the Wangjiang River will smell something from the reaction of the savages.
Letting savages be your messengers is the most cost-effective and effective deal.
This is probably a "tacit understanding" between one military master and another military master.
Zheng Fan also asked, what if the savages on the front line, the savage king, knew about this incident but deliberately pretended that nothing happened.
Liang Cheng only replied:
As long as the Savage King knows about this, no matter how much he disguises or covers up, there will be traces. This is inevitable, and Marquis Jingnan over there will definitely catch these traces.
The falcon hovered here for a while before leaving.
far away,
The wildling cavalry started more and more bonfires.
Zheng Fan cleared his throat, took out a cigarette, lit it, and stuck it between the cracks in the wall instead of smoking it.
"I'll lay a stick of incense for you first, grandsons."
……
This time, outside the savage camp, although there was no time to build a fence and lay down the camp, there were [-] cavalry on the east and west sides, divided into several groups, cruising around. In this way, the Chinese army was guaranteed to be peaceful, and it would not be like last time. The tragic situation of being attacked by Yan people at night appeared.
The falcon flew back and landed on Grimm's shoulder.
Grimm stretched out his hand and touched Hayabusa's body. In front of him, sitting several thousand captains, soldiers and horses from various ministries gathered here. There were nearly 4 people, and the Savage King estimated that he also received Now that the news has arrived, more troops and horses should be sent over.
Snow Customs was a very sensitive and important place, and they did not dare to hide it, nor could they hide it.
"Everyone, Li Mu'er has been taken away by the stars. We don't have time to hold a funeral for him, because there is only one road in front of us.
Even if you bite it with your teeth, you have to chew the snow customs down again!
This is my saint clan’s retreat! "
Grimm's voice began to grow gloomy,
"This time, I, Grimm, will personally bear all the blame after capturing the Snow Customs. I, Grimm, will shoulder the king's wrath alone. This is my fault and has nothing to do with you. This, I You can swear to the stars!
Therefore, right now, you are not fighting for me, nor are you fighting for the king, or even for the future of the holy race, but for your own lives.
If the Yan people were to block the Snow Customs for a month or two, all the saint warriors who entered the customs this time would be buried on the land of Jin by the Yan people.
we,
There is no retreat. "
Grimu's words were very sincere, and he didn't mean to shirk responsibility at all.
All the captains of ten thousand are also aware of the seriousness of the matter. It can be said that the reason why the savages can confront the Yan people on the Wangjiang River in an extremely relaxed manner is because they have already made enough money, a huge amount of goods and The slave population has been transported back to the snowfields.
If there is really no way forward, everyone can retreat in the face of the wind and return to the snowfield.
After all, the snowfield is their main battlefield, and the Yan people may not be able to take advantage in the snowy field. Furthermore, it seems that they have withdrawn from the Jin State, but the Yan people will directly face the two-sided attack from the snowy field and the Chu State. Even if the Yan people Even after swallowing half of the country's land, I couldn't digest it.
But now, their escape route is gone, which means that once the most dangerous situation occurs, they will fall into a situation of no return!
God knows how those Yan people broke in, escaped the encirclement of tens of thousands of their own troops, and finally captured the Snow Customs. The originally good situation collapsed in an instant!
"Grimu, please give the order. Now, we can only unite together and take back the Snow Customs. Apart from this, we have no other choice."
"Yes, Grimu, we believe in your ability. We will discuss the matter of guilt later. No matter what, we must take this pass now and open the passage between Jindi and Xueyuan."
"What to do, Grimm, give the order. Under the king's account, you are the best at fighting. We all know this."
Grimu was born in Jin, and his family history and knowledge were indeed much higher than those of most savages. Usually, the other nobles and leaders of the savages showed respect to Grimm, but they didn't think much of him in their hearts. of.
But at this critical moment, they instinctively abandoned everything else and followed Grimm's orders.
Although they had defeated the Yan people once before at Wangjiang, now that the Yan people had replaced their most capable Nanhou, who had also personally fought in the snowy fields, who knew what the future of the war would be like?
Therefore, the Snow Customs must be opened up. No matter how much the lives of our warriors are sacrificed, we cannot feel bad about it.
"All my troops have gone out to cut wood and make siege equipment further away. Alangtai, Age, your two troops must keep an eye on the snow customs for the past two days. Li Mu'er was accidentally killed by Yan Renye because of his negligence. If the attack is successful, we cannot be as careless as Li Mu'er."
"Yes."
"clear."
"The rest of you, please go further and capture some Jin people and untouchables. It's hard to find them around here. Thank you for your hard work. When we attack the city, we need human lives to fill it slowly. Can you capture more Jin people? Our warriors will suffer less losses."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"I'll wait to understand."
Under Grimu's command, Cheng Guo basically surrendered his army. The reason why Situ Yi's small court was living in such embarrassment was that after the Battle of Wangjiang, no one was willing to ignore him and let him go to Fengxin City to fend for himself. It was also because most of the soldiers from the Cheng Kingdom who had returned from the battlefield had been taken into account by Grimm.
He was born in Jin Dynasty, so it was appropriate to use Jin soldiers.
Moreover, if you ask the savages to make siege equipment, they will not be able to make it. They can only rely on their own soldiers and horses to make it.
As for going further to capture Jin people to use as cannon fodder during the siege, that's because the area near Xueguan is no longer empty, and is basically deserted.
This is the place that the savages must pass when they first enter the customs. When the savages of various tribes searched, burned, killed, looted, and plundered slaves, they plowed this place over and over again like cultivated land.
If you want to catch Jin slaves, you can only go further and look for them.
"When the equipment is finished, our troops will take the lead in attacking the city. At this time, you, me, and everyone, no one can save their strength, because if the Snow Customs is not breached, all of us will be in danger of being destroyed!"
"I'll obey!"
"I'll obey!"
After the order is given,
Grimm reached out and touched the falcon on his shoulder again.
In the early years, his family was the royal beast taming supervisor of the Situ family. However, due to a mistake in animal training, one of the Situ family's children was frightened by a monster. This caused a great disaster for the whole family, and he had no choice but to escape into the snowfield. .
But the family's skills have not been lost. This falcon was carefully selected and cultivated by him. This is no ordinary falcon. It is spiritual and can even think like humans. Although it cannot speak, it can Communicate with Grimm in a way that both parties can understand.
"In addition, I will send a letter to the general of the Yan people in Xueguan, inviting him to meet with me outside the city tomorrow. What the Yan Kingdom can give him, my holy clan can give him more, and even in this Xueguan Cede a part of the land boundary and allow him to become the king of the Jin Dynasty!
No matter what the promise, as long as he is willing to surrender to our Saint Clan, it will be worth it. "
At this time, Agge, who was sitting below, said:
"Grimu, I'm afraid that the Yan generals won't dare to leave the city."
"Yes, what if that Yan general is as timid as a mouse and cherishes his life?"
Grimm heard this,
His eyes immediately darkened,
Seriously said:
"Sneak across the Wangjiang River, attack Fengxin day and night, kill Situ Yi, and then use confusing obstacles to lure us out of the circle. After inducing the tiger to leave the mountain, we will take the opportunity to capture Xueguan.
These methods, courage, and military skills are worthy of being considered outstanding in the world, and even above me, Grimm.
How can such a hero be insulted by you casually? The insult is small. If you continue to look down on others like this, Li Mu'er will be an example to you. We must wake up.
The other party is definitely not a coward! "
When everyone heard this, there was some sarcasm on their faces.
Grimm continued to caress his falcon and said:
"If such a person can be brought under our king's account, the future rise of our Saint Clan will definitely be a further boost. This person is worth seeing and must be seen.
If he is willing to surrender, I, Grimu, am willing to hand over my position and all the soldiers and horses under my command to him, and I will personally lead his horse!
Age, please find someone to write a letter immediately, saying that at noon tomorrow, I, Grimm, will meet him three miles outside the city. Our army will advance ten miles first and then retreat ten miles, and he and I can only carry one person. There is no third person allowed to carry the flag.After the letter is written, find a magic archer and shoot it into the snow customs. "
"Yes, I'll send someone to do it right away."
At this time, Alangtai said: "But, Grimu, how do we know whether the person who will leave the city to meet tomorrow is the other party's general?"
When Grimm heard this, he immediately laughed,
Pointing to the falcon on his shoulder, he said:
"It told me that it had already seen the highest-ranking person in the opposing army on the tower, and it also remembered that person's appearance.
Monsters are psychic, and I believe that their feeling is absolutely unmistakable.
It will be hovering in the sky tomorrow. If the person who comes out of the city to meet me is not that person, it proves that the other party has no intention of negotiating with us. I will go back directly and wait until the siege equipment is made to attack the city. ! "
.........
"What, the other party's leader wants me to go out of the city to negotiate with him tomorrow?"
"Yes, Lord, this is the letter that the other party has just sent into the city. It says that tomorrow the savages will withdraw ten miles in advance and the meeting place will be three miles outside the city. However, the generals of both sides can only bring one flag bearer to show their solemnity. They cannot Bring a third person." Liang Cheng said.
When Xue San heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"Are you crazy? Let's go and negotiate a bad deal. Could it be that we leave Shengle alone with the blind man and the fourth mother, and go to the snowfield with our own soldiers and horses to become the lords?
However, Lord, can we take this opportunity to use a delaying tactic? "
Liang Cheng shook his head and said: "The construction of the opponent's siege equipment will take at least several days. Therefore, strictly speaking, whether the Lord sees it or not, it will not serve as a delaying tactic."
The implication is that they were idle and couldn't attack the city for the time being, so they thought of playing this game.
"Then what are you going to do? If you don't want to go, don't go." Xue San said immediately.
"Yeah." Liang Cheng nodded.
But Zheng Fan suddenly raised his hand and said:
"No, I'll go."
"My lord, it's dangerous." Xue San said nervously.
Zheng Fan shook his head,
A smile suddenly appeared on his face,
Road:
"Tell the sword master to ask him to carry the flag for me tomorrow."
