Chapter 105
"Is the wild forest ahead?"

The [-] townsman army marched mightily, and it took three days and three nights before they reached a primeval forest.This jungle can't be seen at a glance, full of forests, water, land, strange rocks and peaks.

The entire Beizhou is flat everywhere, but the terrain here is intricate, as if it has come to another continent.

This wild forest occupies one-fifth of the area of ​​Beizhou.

According to legend, the barbarian forest is the place where the barbarians originated. It is here that the ancestors of the barbarians established tribes, performed sacrifices and prayers, and gained various inexplicable powers.

Wang Fan rode his horse and swung his whip, looked at the wild forest in the afterglow of the setting sun, and immediately felt the magical charm of the natural creation of heaven and earth, and gradually a sense of admiration arose in his heart. Get up fast.

After reaching the realm of the first nine breaths of human immortality, he is extremely sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth. The wild forest is obviously a place where the aura of heaven and earth is full of aura, and he can cultivate here, and his cultivation is much faster than other places. .

There is one more reason to suppress the barbarians.

If the barbarians are left alone, the martial arts realm of the strong barbarians will improve faster. The decline of one thing and another will pose a huge hidden danger to the rule of the Tianming Dynasty.

"It is too difficult to suppress the barbarians. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. However, the outermost circle of the barbarian forests is a continuous mountain range, which is difficult to cross. This kind of mountainous and forest terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is simply a country within a country. "A bearded general next to Wang Fan complained.

This bearded general was also the chief general of the court reinforcements, named Luo Lie.

The eyes of the bearded general Luo Lie were full of worry. In the wild forest, a group of people could cultivate land, hunt, raise wild animals, smelt steel, cultivate vitality, and even establish a kingdom or dynasty.

The difficulty of suppressing a barbarian is no different from the difficulty of conquering a country.

In fact, this is not the real reason for Luo Lie's worry. What really worries him is the gap between the state army and the reinforcements.

Although the [-] State Army could not suppress the barbarians, it was more than enough to resist the attacks of the barbarians and block the route of the barbarians entering the heart of the dynasty.As long as the court reinforcements and the state army work together, the extermination of the barbarians may not be successful, but it is easy to suppress them and drive them back to the barbarian forest.

However, what happened three days ago cast a cloud over the prospect of war.

At the reception banquet, Wang Fan publicly accused Li Hao, the governor of the state, and claimed that he would kill his brother Li Yan.

The two sides were at war with each other, and there was almost internal strife. The reinforcement commander Wang Yue's mediation did not work. In the end, Li Yan bowed his head and admitted his mistake on the spot, and his official position was demoted three levels in a row.

"After all, you are young and energetic." Luo Lie sighed in his heart as he looked at Wang Fan who was sitting on the horse next to him.

Although Wang Fan's actions were outrageous, they won the position for the reinforcements, especially Wang Yue, who gained the upper hand in the dialogue with Li Hao, and also won the mastery of the battle.

However, in order to show fairness, Wang Yue also reprimanded Wang Fan, and sent him and Luo Lie to lead his troops to guard the northern part of the barbarian forest to prevent the barbarians from escaping by sea.

The main force of the army is advancing in three directions, east, west and south, pressing inward.

"If the army defeats the barbarians in the barbarian forest, then we will get no credit at all. And if the army wipes out the main force of the barbarians and the remaining barbarians rush towards the north, even if we block it, there will always be fish that slip through the net. It will inevitably happen. Being criticized." Luo Lie was worried.

He felt that he had fallen into a pit. When Wang Fan was unlucky, he would inevitably suffer.

Luo Lie was depressed, and gave up command at the beginning, and handed over the command of the [-] soldiers under him to Wang Fan.

dang dang...

A deep metallic sound pierced through the army, and the [-] army stopped advancing.

The sound is made by a copper instrument similar to a bell. This instrument is called a zheng. Beating the drum represents advancement, and the sound of the zheng means the sound of gold to retreat.This is military law, and no one dares to defy it.

"The generals of each department are stationed in place, and the soldiers are not allowed to leave the body. The guard battalion is divided into three teams, one post at five steps, one sentry at ten steps, and patrols at twelve hours. "One by one, the messengers shuttled non-stop in each battalion, and Wang Fan's orders were issued one by one.

Soon, the food and supplies were transported to the center, and the middle was separated by iron plates. Even if one place was set on fire, it could stop the fire and reduce losses.There were more than 2 people in the army, and a large number of tents were quickly established, and horses were placed on the outermost perimeter, iron nets were tied up, and barbed caltrops were sprinkled.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lie was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that Wang Fan was just a martial arts prodigy, but he didn't expect that the other party had a decent appearance when setting up camp.Thinking of the information, the thirteenth prince has never been in contact with the army, so there must be someone around to help him.

How could Luo Lie know that Wang Fan had also led troops to fight in the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and gained a lot of experience.

But after all, Mingzhou World's technology surpassed that of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the use of iron utensils alone far exceeds that of Wang Fan's orders. Fortunately, Deputy General Ru Di has been convinced by Wang Fan, and he wholeheartedly checks for Wang Fan's omissions and fills in the gaps.

The 2-strong army slowly settled down, and a small war fortress appeared on the spot.

Looking at the wild forest from afar, the mountains were vast and rolling, and Luo Lie looked back at the army again. Luo Lie felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, which was extremely strange.

"It's midsummer now, why do you feel cold?"

……

The next day, just after dawn, there was the sound of beating drums in the barracks. The sound of the drums was high-pitched but not intense. It was not an enemy attack, but a call to the soldiers to get up.

Wang Fan had already left the tent, and brought his deputy general Rudy to a high slope to watch the formation of the army. After seeing it, he saw some problems.

Although the soldiers under his command left the camp quickly, they were far inferior to those under Luo Lie's command. After Luo Lie's soldiers gathered together, their armors were in order, their swords and guns were unsheathed, and they were full of murderous intent, startling large swaths of birds in the distant wild forest.

A gust of sharpness and bravery rushed to his face.

On the other hand, although the soldiers under Wang Fan's command were regular and well-proportioned, they lacked a sense of blood and murderous aura, and they were obviously not fierce soldiers on the battlefield.Wang Fan even saw excitement and nervousness on the faces of some soldiers.

Only recruits do this.

"Vice General Lu, are all the soldiers assigned to me by the military department like this?" Wang Fan turned to look at Ru Di, his face as dark as water.

"This..." Rudy hesitated for a long time before he said, "...Although most of these soldiers are rookies, there are also many veterans among them. With these veterans leading them, as long as they go through a few tough battles, It can grow quickly and become a strong army."

Anyone who believes this is a fool.

Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, how can there be so much time for these newcomers to grow up, they are facing a brutal barbarian, maybe a defeat, all of them will be buried in Beizhou, and they will never go back home.

Even if the entire army is not wiped out, the losses after the war will inevitably be heavy. The battle loss ratio is also one of the indicators used by the Ministry of War to evaluate military achievements. If the battle loss ratio is too large, even if the battle is won, there will not be much credit, and you may even be held accountable.

So the generals don't like to bring recruits.

However, King Quan has no background in the Ministry of War, no room for choice, and cannot interfere with the deployment of the Ministry of War. In the case of the fourth prince, Wang Jing, he can rely on the power of his mother's Shen family to deploy elite soldiers and strong generals.

"So that's how it is." Wang Fan looked at the army who had started to drill, and fell silent.

Rudy breathed a sigh of relief. He had been observing Wang Fan's face just now and was deeply afraid that the other party would be angry. However, he did not expect that after hearing the bad news, Wang Fan did not become angry, but was extremely calm.

Wang Fan suddenly asked, "Does my department have a serial number?"

Rudy hurriedly replied: "Not yet, Your Highness can name it. If you make achievements in this battle and keep enough soldiers, then this number can be kept forever."

"Then let's call them the Demon Suppressing Army! And from now on, don't call me His Highness."

After Wang Fan finished speaking, he swept down the slope and returned to the camp. Only Rudy was left there, repeating the new designation of the army.

"Suppressing demon army..."

Demon Suppressing General, Demon Suppressing Army!
