Devil’s Advent

Chapter 256 Scars

There are herdsmen on the snowy plains. For a long time, war horses on the snowy plains have been one of the most important sources of horses for the knights of the Three Jin Dynasties.

Before the two Marquises of Dayan entered Jin, Jin people always believed that their own cavalry was enough to compete with Dayan cavalry. One very important reason was that Jin people did not lack horses.

In the early years, it was through war and plunder, and later, with the suppression of the barbarians from the Yan State, the opening of the Silk Road between the East and the West made everyone more willing to sit down and do business.

Many familiar savage settlements living in the Tianduan Mountains, apart from selling the pet monsters in the Tianduan Mountains, are actually doing business as war horse dealers.

The savage king that Situ's family faced first made his fortune through doing business through the Tianduan Mountains. Armaments, armor, etc., all came through transactions with Jindi. Craftsmen, doctors, and scholars all came here. It is the object of his search.

Even, this king once came to Beifeng County of my Dayan. According to the investigation of the secret spy department after the incident, he probably worked in Beifeng County for six years as a handyman in the Houfu and an auxiliary soldier of the Zhenbei Army. .

Auxiliary soldiers are a kind of arms between the civilians and the regular army. When they are not busy, they need to undertake part of the work of the civilians. When there is a real fight, they must be ready to fight on the front line at any time.

Zheng Fan stayed in Beifeng County for half a year, and he knew the atmosphere there. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a multi-ethnic hodgepodge. The population of various ethnic groups was complicated, and there were some barbarians who surrendered as low-level officers in the Zhenbei Army, so a It is normal for a savage to work under the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Is this here to steal the teacher? Zheng Fan asked in surprise.

I'm not sure if it's true, I can only say it's suspected, but it's very likely that it's true.

Moreover, there are traces that he has also been to the country of Qian, but he did not stay long in the country of Qian, and returned to the country of Jin with the caravan.

It would be great if I could stay in Qianguo more. Zheng Fan teased.

No matter what kind of hero you are, if you stay in Qianguo for a long time, you will become soft.

However, what surprised Zheng Fan was that Yan Guo's secret agent was willing to spend so much energy to find the traces of the wild man king.

As Yao Zizhan once said, the silver armored guards of Dayan's six adult princes have been paying attention, and the people of Gan country have been studying the character, temper and even... ability of the prince of Dayan.

This is a kind of attention, and right now, the court of Yan Kingdom obviously attaches great importance to this savage king.

The Situ family's current situation is not very good.

Defeated? Zheng Fan asked in surprise.

Because the savages in the Tianduan Mountains are really as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and even Liang Cheng guessed that he has summed up a set of strategies for fighting savage settlements.

The savages on the snow field should be stronger than the savages in the mountains, but they are not too strong.

Zheng Fan cut off a large piece of meat from the leg of lamb roasting in front of him, and handed it to Hou Jingnan.

Now, they are in a herdsman's tent, spending money to buy a barbecue meal from the herdsmen.

The herdsmen in this place should belong to a nearby savage tribe, and they took advantage of the spring to drive their livestock to the outskirts for migration and grazing.

Our army wiped out Wenren's family and Helian's family, and Situ Lei, the emperor of Chengguo, didn't deliberately take the main force to the northeast because he didn't dare to fight in the first battle.

But the border over there is in a hurry.

The garrison of the Situ family there was harassed by the savages, and the general led the army to take the initiative to attack. As a result, they were ambushed and the whole army was wiped out.

Even after Situ Lei personally led the army, he quickly launched a war to retake the three cities. Perhaps, because he had just ascended the throne, he wanted a big victory even more urgently.

Defeated? Zheng Fan asked curiously.

Jingnan Hou nodded,

road:

Defeated, Situ Lei himself was injured, Situ's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and the remaining soldiers and horses retreated to Xueguan.

Zheng Fan knew the place name Snow Customs. The blind man had mentioned that the Snow Customs was built long ago by the pioneers of the Jin Kingdom after they drove out the savages. A large open area cannot be separated from the Jin people and the snowfield directly by the Tianduan Mountains like other places in the Jin Kingdom, so this pass was built.

However, as the Jin people have been exploring the outside world for hundreds of years, when they are in a good mood, they go out to fight the savages;

The Snow Customs has long been no longer an actual control area, and the sphere of influence of the Jin people has already broken through the Snow Customs and included a large snowfield.

Therefore, the successive defeats of the Situ family are equivalent to vomiting out the area that the ancestors of the Jin people had opened up for a hundred years.

And if the Snow Customs was breached again, the army of savages would spread out like locusts finding an opening.

As if seeing Zheng Fan's face turned serious, Tian Wujing took a bite of the mutton, and said while chewing:

The savage is not so strong, but because the Situ family is careless.

Zheng Fan nodded, he believed in Tian Wujing's judgment, just like he believed in Liang Cheng.

Savages, no matter what, are no match for barbarians. Tian Wujing said.

Even if the plucked phoenixes of the barbarians are not as good as chickens, they can't be integrated together because of the decline of the royal court. Their own combat effectiveness is still extremely terrifying. There are many barbarian soldiers in Zheng Fan's team, which are very useful.

On the other hand, Zheng Fan has not incorporated the savages into the army yet, but only uses them as laborers. Even if the savages who surrendered to him are recruited to fight in the future, they will only serve as auxiliary soldiers.

However, the most difficult thing for the Situ family now is that the previous two defeats, although they suffered heavy losses, have not really shaken the Situ family's muscles. However, the loss of the city has led to the wildlings getting more armor and equipment and supplies from the artisan population. The strength and morale of the wildlings are at their peak at this time.

The Situ family's army was blocked at the front line of Xueguan for a while, and tried to open up several times tentatively, but they were all beaten back.

So, what we have to do is to use a surprise army to go north from Shengle City, leave the Tianduan Mountains, enter the snowfield, and then gallop east to attack the rear of the savages, so as to relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield for the Situ family?

Jingnanhou shook his head.

Also ask Lord Hou to make it clear that the general will be dull in the end.

Tian Wujing raised his head slightly,

Slowly said:

It's not a surprise soldier, nor is it to help Situ's family relieve the positive pressure.

That is?

Break them down.

... Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan suddenly felt that he was like a random set-up that was drawn for the plot when he was drawing comics. His role was to talk to Tian Wujing, and then elicit Tian Wujing's final pretense.

Fine,

You can beat them by yourself, but you can fight even more with soldiers. If you say you want to blow them up, you will blow them up. You are awesome, applause.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the tent.

This herdsman family only has an old couple and a young son. The son has not yet married a wife. Judging from the strength of such a series of footsteps, it is obvious that there are many adult men.

Tian Wujing threw the sheep bone in his hand on the ground, took out a wool blanket and wiped his hands while saying:

It seems that they are hospitable as you said earlier, and they can't be counted.

Master Hou, I was just reminding you that I used a rhetorical tone.

At that time, Zheng Fan's suggestion was that it would be easiest to kill all the herdsmen in this place.

After all, the clothes of the two of them are really too obtrusive, and because of the battle between Yan and Jin years ago, the trade route has not yet recovered, so it is too suspicious for the two of them to appear here.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and three grown men walked in, while the grown son of an old herdsman couple looked in from outside the tent.

Of the three people who came in, one wore leather armor, and the other two only wore robes.

The armored man had a scar on his left cheek that looked fresh.

Inspire Guvalya!!!

The armored man yelled at Zheng Fan and Tian Wujing with the knife edge.

Zheng Fan said to the armored man:

Wakashiwa expanded by one more Mimas!

... Armored man.

Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan with great interest, and said:

You can speak Savage?

Zheng Fan said modestly:

He's asking if we're spies.

Oh. Tian Wujing nodded, Zheng Chengshou is really knowledgeable.

Just when Zheng Fan was about to be more modest,

Tian Wujing turned to look at the armored man, and said a series of words that Zheng Fan could not understand.

The faces of the armored man and those savages suddenly changed when they heard the words. Obviously, they understood!

... Zheng Fan.

How embarrassing!

Tian Wujing said again: The savages in the Tianduan Mountains are complex and have their own dialects, but the savages on the snowfield use a very old language. The language has been handed down in the three Jin lands, and it is a kind of ancient language.

Master Hou, you are the one who is knowledgeable, the last general, the last general admires, admires.

You translated well, the meaning is correct.

Lucky, lucky...

At this time, the armored man and the other two wild men raised their weapons and rushed over.

The next moment, Zheng Fan drew his knife out, bursting with energy and blood, and directly slashed at the armored man.

However, at the same time, a tyrannical air wave exploded directly, and before Zheng Fan's sword fell, the three savages flew out together with the tent where everyone was staying.

Zheng Chengshou's knife slashed lonely.

And those savages, including the shepherd's family, fell heavily to the ground, clutching their chests in pain.

Make up the knife.

Tian Wujing said.

yes.

Zheng Fan walked over, one by one, like chopping firewood, and killed all the savages who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, leaving no one behind.

Tian Wujing walked over slowly, pointed at the body of the man in armor and said:

He is a subordinate of the wild man king, or it can be said that he is a follower. The influence of the wild man king has actually spread to this area.

Is it because of the scar on your face?

Yes, because there is also a scar on the face of the Savage King, so his followers think it is a symbol of bravery, and they all followed suit.

I see.

Have you met the princess of Zhenbeihou Mansion?

I will see you in the end.

How do you feel?

Dignified and elegant, everyone is a lady, expensive.

After all, the princess will be his nephew and daughter-in-law in the future, so he has to say good things.

More than ten years ago, when the princess was still a girl, she whipped the horse breeder because of a mistake in the care of her beloved horse. When the matter got to the old lady's ears, the princess was reprimanded and confined for a month. thought about it.

Could it be?

Tian Wujing bent down, reached out and stroked the scar on the face of the corpse,

nodded and said:

They thought the scars that symbolized martial prowess were just drawn out by that unruly and willful little girl with a whip.
