Devil’s Advent

Chapter 338: Drumming and Gathering Generals

Xue San used the broth made from precious medicinal materials to forcibly hang the Juggernaut's life.

Some of these medicinal materials are picked from the Tianduan Mountain Range. It also accounts for a lot of shares, especially some rare medicinal materials.

There are some herbs that Xue San has never seen before, which are unique to this world, so he tried it himself to confirm the properties of the medicine.

In addition, when they went south to attack the Qian Kingdom and ransacked the Jin Kingdom's palace, they also harvested a lot of these precious medicinal materials. It was distressing to sell this kind of thing, so they just kept it for their own use.

At the beginning, Xue San gave the master the big tonic soup bath, which also fused a lot of precious medicinal materials.

For this expedition, it is impossible not to bring these things. To put it cold-bloodedly, if something goes wrong with ordinary soldiers, if they don’t get over it, they don’t get over it. It must be saved at all costs.

Not to mention in this world, even in later generations, every time an epidemic disease occurs, the rich and powerful can be tested first and treated first.

this is the truth.

As for Juggernaut, it fits the standard of reality.

After Xue San got out of work, Zheng Fan immediately asked:

How's the situation?

Xue San looked dignified and said:

The problem is very serious. The meridians in my body are broken and cracked. I feel that even if I survive this time, if I survive, I will become a disabled person. It is difficult to take care of myself.

so serious?

General Zheng's heart was bleeding.

Um, but we are still saved. Xue San said.

I understand the truth. Zheng Fan nodded.

The Juggernaut still needs to be saved, even if he becomes a cripple, but his understanding of the way of the sword, in this world, there are really very few people who can match him.

Not to mention that there is still a natural sword embryo in Shengle City, let the sword master continue to train it, maybe ten years later, Zheng Fan's subordinates will produce another female sword master.

Let’s talk about this feat of forcibly breaking the mirror to open the second rank,

Originally, even Liang Cheng thought that the Juggernaut must die,

but,

damn,

Who knows!

Zheng Fan suddenly discovered that in this world, Daxia Chen is one, and so is Juggernaut, both of whom are goddamn protagonists.

As a manga creator, he naturally knows what this fate means, which means that even if he is miserable and depraved at this time, he will suddenly rise again after a few years.

It stands to reason that the Juggernaut is now abolished, and the probability of re-emerging is almost negligible, but Zheng Fan doesn't mind waiting, and is willing to wait. Anyway, the previous Juggernaut cost little, and the abolished Juggernaut will cost a lot. Naturally it is smaller.

It's just that the military exploits of the thousand heads are converted into silver, which is really distressing.

But you still have to pay, that's not to say, no matter how stingy General Zheng is, he won't be in arrears with his soldiers.

The wages owed to the peasants only need to prevent them from causing trouble, but the wages owed to these gangsters, they have knives in their hands!

Send two of your trustworthy subordinates to take good care of them.

Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate understands.

Okay, I'm going to rest.

Good night, Lord.

Today, Zheng Fan didn't do anything, just ran away, but he was also sweating from fright.

There is no such treatment as taking a bath, I can only wash my face, put on the brazier, lie down next to me and fall asleep directly.

Zheng Fan fell asleep quickly because he felt more at ease.

After the wildlings lost that Grim, next, let's see how they attack the city.

………

Sure enough, the next three days were uneventful.

The savages lost their coach, and also lost a general who knew how to siege the city. Whether it was the morale or tactics of the army, they were hit hard.

During the past three days, Liang Cheng took the time to train those slaves from Jin, and let the old soldiers impart some experience. It can only be said that we should strive to make them more qualified cannon fodder as soon as possible.

In the north, from time to time, a small group of savage cavalry would come from the snow field to check the situation. It should be that some nearby tribes found that the snow customs was closed, and they planted the black dragon flag of the country of Yan. They came here to check the situation, but they didn't show up. Formed wildling power.

finally,

On the fourth day, the wildling army in the south began to attack the city.

Dead Grimm,

dead coach

Lost siege professional command,

All in all,

Nothing can stop the determination of the savages to attack Xueguan.

Because they have no other choice, this snow customs, they must be shot down.

Zheng Fan climbed up the city wall early, Fan Li stood on the right side of Zheng Fan holding a shield, and Ah Ming stood on the left side of Zheng Fan.

Outside the city, the army of wildlings is already in formation.

It can be seen that these days, they have also built a lot of siege equipment, most of them are ladders, and there are battering rams, but this battering ram looks a bit nondescript, and it is a forced addition to them. wheel.

There are quite a few savages, and judging from the visual effects, they really put a lot of pressure on people.

However, the savages probably didn't get the kind of movable towers and slightly higher-end siege equipment. One is that time is tight, the other is that there is a lack of suitable craftsmen, and the third is that the nearby forests have been fortified and cleared. Needing to cut wood would have to travel farther afield, which greatly limits their effectiveness.

Inside Xueguan, five gun carriages were ready, and the soldiers on the city wall were also ready for battle.

Because Xueguan was ransacked by savages, Zheng Fan did not get enough equipment here. Fortunately, General Zheng has always been willing to spend money on building troops under his command, especially before dispatching troops. During the waiting period, all the workshops inside and outside Shengle were shut down, and they concentrated their efforts to replenish the Shengle army's ordnance.

Furthermore, because of the successful capture of the gate in the attack on Fengxin City, the equipment consumption was not only negligible, but also a lot of money was captured. Therefore, there is no shortage of equipment for the time being at Xueguan.

Bows and arrows should be sufficient for the time being, but according to Liang Cheng's calculations, if the battle lasts for a long time, nimble soldiers will still be needed to gather arrows at night.

In addition, although Xueguan is a pass, it is actually a city. Before the rise of the savages, because the power of the Situ family has been pushed to the snowfield, there has been no war in Xueguan for a long time. There are many original buildings and population in this level.

The aborigines must have been robbed and taken away when they were first closed, but the houses in the city should be demolished, and everything that needs to be unloaded should be piled up.

During this process, some underground cellars and warehouses were also discovered. The savages were careless, and it may be that when they first broke through the Xueguan Pass, the savages were still very simple and did not understand the habit of Jin people who like to hide things in the cellars, so they did not The place was not cleaned up, which allowed Zheng Fan to get a lot of food supplements.

To sum it up, the various materials in the city are not rich, but they are enough, come on, let's do it first!

Zheng Fan silently took out a cigarette, and the blind man would make extra packs of cigarettes for him every time he set out on an expedition.

And I don’t know why, when I was rushing to draft in my previous life, two packs of cigarettes a day were not enough to produce, but after waking up in this world and having cigarettes, I may only have one a day, and I only think of it when something happens. one.

This side of the city wall has a protruding mouth. The purpose of this construction is that when the enemy attacks the city, you can have two more walls to attack the enemy.

At this time, Zheng Fan was standing at the forefront of this mouth.

Looking up and looking at the sky, Zheng Fan was smoking a cigarette silently.

Wait until a cigarette is finished,

There was also a new movement on the side of the savages. Groups of refugees were driven to the front. They carried very simple ladders. Most of them only held wooden sharpened spears in their hands, and only a few people held them. With a knife.

They were driven towards the city wall in batches. There was no moat to the south of Xueguan, and Liang Cheng didn't waste his energy digging any trenches in the winter, but some spikes and caltrops were still left on the ground.

Many refugees from Jin didn't even have shoes, so they stepped on them with bare feet, the taste, and in this era of lack of medical care, the fatality rate of severe trauma suffered under such extreme weather conditions is quite high.

When the refugees were approaching the city wall, Liang Cheng ordered the shooting without hesitation.

They can't be allowed to attack the city with ants, otherwise it will affect the attack of the guards on the city wall against the follow-up savages.

In this Sheng Yue army, there are mostly Jin people, but you also have to see where the Jin people are.

The structure of the three families divided into Jin has been formed for more than a year. Although they are collectively referred to as Jin people by the outside world, they have actually split long ago.

Most of Zheng Fan's subordinates were descendants of the Helian family and Wenren family, or descendants of the original capital.

so,

They decisively carried out Liang Cheng's order and began to shoot and kill the refugees under the city wall mercilessly.

The organization and discipline of the refugees is very poor, and they are generally used as cannon fodder. If the city being attacked has a moat or trench, let them carry soil to fill the pit. If the soil is not enough, then use their corpses It's the same for filling holes.

But after being hit, the Yan army ruthlessly shot arrows at him above, and the savages staring at him behind him. Most of these refugees squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, crying and waiting to die.

Liang Cheng ordered again to stop shooting arrows.

the arrow stops;

The refugees looked around in a daze. No one dared to pick up the ladder and continue to try to climb the wall, but they didn't dare to go back. They just instinctively gathered in the corner of the city wall.

No matter how the savages in the distance shouted, cursed and waved their knives, the distance was still far anyway, and these refugees just stood still in a daze.

They are not stupid. They know that if they have any abnormal actions or attempts, their superiors will definitely shoot them again. People want to live, even if the hope is very slim, even if they die a little later, most people will still choose Do it like this.

If you live for a while longer, just live for as long as possible, even if you live like a walking dead.

Zheng Fan poked his head out cautiously and looked down, and unexpectedly saw a woman refugee curled up in a corner, breastfeeding a child in her arms.

I don't know if she can still express milk after being captured and driven so far by savages.

However, Zheng Fan also knew that this was not the time to be soft-hearted. The Juggernaut was lying there resting his food. If he was there, he would probably find a way to go downstairs and rescue the child.

well,

The sense of justice is overwhelming, and I can't move it anymore.

It's also quite easy.

there,

Seeing that the Jin people he managed to capture were lying on the ground, the savages began to divide their forces to attack the city.

It's just that they are said to be savages, but they are actually the faces of Jin people, but they are wearing armor and their weapons are not bad. The soldiers in the front row are holding shields, the soldiers in the back row are carrying ladders, and the soldiers behind them are pushing battering rams.

Then the battering ram walked halfway, and the Sheng Le army on the city wall hadn't shot their arrows yet, the wheels scattered by themselves. In the end, only two rows of people could carry the big log to continue moving forward.

If I knew it was going to be like this, why take off my pants and fart?

My lord, there have been two absurdities in the savage siege of the city. One is that when there is no moat and trench outside the city wall to the south, I forcibly drove these hard-won slaves to attack the city. It is useless at all, and the consumption of this little arrow is actually negligible.

If the subordinates are on the opposite side, since these slaves were captured with great difficulty, I will let them be responsible for the logistics of the military camp, felling, construction, etc., where there are places where people are needed.

They put the slaves under the city gate and wall like this now, but it will cause great trouble for their subsequent main force to attack the city. After all, there is only so much space under the city wall.

In ancient wars, the number of civilians was more than twice that of the regular army, which was a common occurrence. Therefore, in many cases, the army that was constantly claiming to be 400,000 to 800,000 basically included the logistics civilians.

Actually... Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and continued: They are used to marching and fighting with cattle and herds for war supplies, but obviously, after entering the customs this time, they only cared about looting and going home. To transfer things, everything needed was looted from Jin.

Furthermore, from the time when the savages entered the pass and the war swept across most of the country, in fact, the spring plowing and autumn harvest in these places were basically delayed. Got enough supplies.

The area around Xuehai Customs was, after all, the place where they first came in, and it was also the place where they plundered the most fiercely. The savages should also be short of food soon.

So, you mean, these slaves can... eat?

Liang Cheng acquiesced.

Do you want to speak so hard?

I know that you are born as a zombie, and that you and brother A Ming are good friends, and we have nothing to do to drink red wine together to cultivate our sentiments, but there is no need to say so directly.

The subordinate is wrong.

Go on, I'll listen.

General Zheng is making up lessons.

The second mistake made by the savages is that, my lord, you see, their main attack direction is actually the city wall where we are now.

That is, the upper part of the word convex.

However, in a real siege battle, the success rate of directly attacking the city gate and trying to break through here is very low, because any city defender will carry out the strictest defense against the city gate.

But I don't see much under the city gate...

Zheng Fan understood, nodded, and said:

Are you deliberately wanting them to break through this city gate?

It wasn't intentional either. I can only say that if you can hold it, you can hold it. If you can't hold it, let them break through the first door.

In the upper part of the convex area, there are no stairs leading to the city wall. Therefore, if the savages break through the city gate here and rush in happily, they will find that waiting for them will be another stronger one. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Sheng Le Army on the four walls will shoot them from the inside without any dead ends, while the savages rushing in can only squeeze together and wait passively for death.

This is really an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another.

General Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

My lord, my subordinates have just discovered a third mistake. Now that the wildlings are attacking the city, my subordinates will first escort the lord back to the back wall. Let's talk as we walk.

good.

General Zheng is as good as others.

When the two retreated and the city wall left the front line of the battlefield,

Liang Cheng continued:

My lord, I see that the first wave of savage troops attacking the city looks like the Jin people, and my subordinates guess that they should be soldiers under Grimu's command.

Since Gerimu was born in the Jin Dynasty, it is quite normal for his subordinates to be mainly soldiers from the Jin Dynasty.

Now that Grim was dead, those savages directly let Grim's original soldiers and horses be the main force to attack the city first.

But that was when Grimm himself was still there, and Grimm is dead now, and driving them out in such a grand manner to make the first batch of consumables for the siege would easily cause these Jin people to surrender Rebellious emotions, not only the morale was greatly reduced during the siege, but later, if we plan to launch another night attack, we can make a breakthrough from the camp where the Jin people surrendered.

Get ready, let go!

Xue San is instructing his subordinates to release the stone eggs.

In fact, the lethality of this thing is also limited. After all, it is very difficult for you to get explosive bombs. Originally, the defending side made artillery vehicles, and its purpose was to smash the towers of the attacking side or to smash the artillery vehicles of the attacking side. , but the savages on the opposite side did not.

However, while attacking the city, one has to worry about meteorites landing overhead from time to time. This is a huge blow to the morale of the attacking side.

So, it's basically no problem for our city to keep it?

Thanks to the Juggernaut beheading Grimu that day.

With one Grimu missing, the savage lost a most prestigious commander. After all, even though Grim was from Jin, he was the first to put all his belongings up to follow the savage king's direct line, and he was also the one who was best at attacking the city on the savage side.

In fact, what Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng didn't know was that the savages successively broke through the two cities of Situ's family on the snow field, and finally broke through the snow customs. On the frontal battlefield, especially in the siege battle, Grimu's command put great pressure on the Chengguo army defending the city, which created an opportunity for Situ Yi and the two brothers to cooperate internally and externally.

At the same time, the Jin army under Grimu's command, which knew the best about siege warfare, also fell into a low morale.

Basically, it's not a big problem, unless the Savage King dispatches a general from the front line all the way to integrate the elite here and attack the city again.

Hearing this unless, Zheng Fan smiled.

Obviously,

Rao is gou like General Zheng,

They don't care much about this unless.

On the front line of Wangjiang, the person who is facing the wild man king is not the former eldest prince, but the Marquis of Jingnan!

You smoke, you continue to draw generals and elites to come back to attack the city, face Jingnanhou, do you dare?

As the high apprentice of the Marquis of Jingnan,

Zheng Fan is quite convinced of Jingnan Hou's ability to use troops. In addition, Jingnan Hou's men, the Jingnan Army and Zhenbei Army combined total more than 80,000. Cheng Guo's army.

General Zheng really dared to use the combination of one yang finger and the lion's roar to shout arrogantly at the wild man king:

Come here, come here!

After escorting Zheng Fan back to the back wall, Liang Cheng surveyed the situation ahead and said:

It seems that it is very rare for a savage to break through our front door.

in words,

There also seemed to be some regrets about not being able to achieve their own designs.

Zheng Fan stretched his back against the wall,

road:

That is to say, we're done here. Next, let's see how Jingnanhou will defeat the savages in front of us?

Lose a sword master,

In addition to my big rush of more than a hundred catties and 10,000 Sheng Le troops,

snow customs,

It was nailed.

Next, Tian Wujing,

It's time for you to get the pen.

...

two flowers bloom;

The two sides of the Wangjiang River have been very lively in the near future.

Yan Jun, divided several times, made a gesture of attacking in several positions;

The savage, on the other hand, saw the tricks and made corresponding deployments in response.

It's just that the Yan people just set up formations and change defenses. After so many days, they have never tried a serious attack.

It was clear that the Wangjiang River had frozen over, but the people of Yan didn't seem to want to seize the time to take advantage of the gift brought by the weather change.

The savage side has always maintained the previous style, that is, how you mobilize the Yan army, I will greet you accordingly, but at the same time, I have always been prepared to retreat when the situation is not good. As for me? Really retreat, dare not fight with you, come and try?

Therefore, with Wangjiang as the dividing line, the two sides add up to hundreds of thousands of troops, like two folk masters fighting each other, circling around in circles, constantly posing in various poses,

While spreading the wings of the white crane, while fisting the mantis,

While the black tiger is digging out a heart shape, while the eagle claws are ferocious,

In short,

Just don't move, just go around in circles, whet the audience's appetite.

...

In the tent of the handsome savage,

Savage King looked at the latest information from the rear just sent,

Grimm,

died,

He was killed by the sword master of Jin.

The Savage King wanted to laugh,

He thought it was the funniest joke he had heard this year!

This is a battle between the two armies, and you, Greim, were beheaded and killed by the masters sent by others in front of the battle!

Fortunately,

The Savage King was not mad, nor did he laugh out loud,

Just glanced at Alai who had just delivered the general situation to him,

asked:

Messenger...

Alema said:

King, I have already executed.

The news of the fall of the Snow Customs in the rear is absolutely not allowed to spread in the army. If everyone knows that the way home is blocked by the Yan people, no matter how big or bright the stars are, they will not be able to stabilize the turbulent morale of the army.

King, do you want to send someone back...

The Savage King shook his head and said:

The person opposite us is that Yan native, Marquis Nan.

This is a real opponent.

My lord, our cavalry has blocked all the channels from the east. The Yan man Nanhou on the opposite side probably doesn't know that Xueguan has...

The Savage King stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead,

sighed:

I see.

Um?

Alai didn't know why.

I said, I see.

this………

Of course I know, Wang, you do.

Unless I don't know, but I have already known about the fall of Xuehaiguan, so I deliberately put on the posture of Xuehaiguan being harmless in front of Yan Jun on the opposite side.

Yes, king, so why...

The Savage King gritted his teeth,

Because I know, all my subsequent responses are just pretending, trying to deceive the Yanren Nanhou on the opposite side. I have nothing to do behind me. We are ready to return to the snowfield at any time. It depends on whether you dare to cross the river or not. Come and try!

but………

The Marquis Nan from Yan has been mobilizing troops on the other side, and I have to mobilize troops accordingly.

It's like no matter how clever a lie is, if you tell it too many times, it will always show its flaws.

When I learned the news of the fall of Xuehai Customs, all my responses actually had a deliberate layer on it.

Others may not see anything.

But that Yan man Nanhou...

He, he will see?

The Savage King wiped his face fiercely with both hands,

take a deep breath,

shake your head,

road:

I have no idea.

...

on the other side,

The commander of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Li Fusheng opened the curtain and walked in.

Kneel down on one knee to salute Jingnan Hou:

The last general will see Lord Hou, but I don't know that Lord Hou will call the last...

Did you feel it?

Um?

Li Fusheng didn't know why.

Straight lady thief, this question is so broad.

Li Fusheng missed that kid surnamed Zheng a little bit. That kid could talk and figure out people's hearts. If that kid was here, he should be able to answer this question.

Do you feel it?

Jingnan Hou asked again.

Li Fusheng, who enjoys killing, could only bite the bullet and answer at this time:

The last general is dull, dare to ask Lord Hou, what do you feel?

Jingnanhou stretched out his hand,

pointing to the east,

road:

There should be something wrong with the Savage's rear.

Huh?

How does this feel?

Lord Hou, can you tell fortunes?

However, Li Fusheng did not dare to ask this question. In front of this white-haired lord, this bloodthirsty general of the Northern Suppressing Army really dared not make the slightest mistake.

Although he had heard about the uncle of the Jingnanhou family, who seemed to be a Xuanxiu, then it was only natural that Jingnanhou knew a little bit of Xuanxiu, no?

But as a veteran on the battlefield, Li Fusheng would never believe that the Marquis of Jingnan in front of him would use fortune-telling methods to go to war. Isn't this nonsense.

Jingnanhou didn't seem to intend to explain,

Just stood up silently,

road:

Beat the drums and gather the generals.
