A certain Bai returned to the Southern Wilderness from a sightseeing tour.
Bai Yujun admitted that he couldn't defeat a group of Mahayana monks, but he could seek good luck and avoid disaster in advance. If he couldn't defeat them, the other party wouldn't be able to ambush and attack them. In terms of ambush and sneak attack, the monsters are stronger. Born in the primitive forest, there is no swaddling clothes, and there is no innocence. It hunts and counter-hunts from birth until death.
There are dozens of ways to detect and avoid ambushes, and a sneak attack may be successful, but the probability is too low.
The human race and the demon race have different talents, and there are no absolutes in the world, so it is difficult to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.
A certain dragon wandered east and west and was not in a hurry to return to the Southern Wilderness immediately. The news had been sent back that one hundred thousand demon soldiers would not come out of the Southern Wilderness to attack the Yan Empire, or in other words, the Sunset Xishan Empire.
It is unrealistic that the sun never sets, and no country can last forever.
Distant borders.
The relationship between the Central Plains and the Southern Wilderness has become tense...
Mountain top.
Qiao Jin, the general of the demon army, held a delicate metal tube and observed the Yan Kingdom outpost in the distance.
Telescopes have been produced and have extremely high resolution. Qiao Jin was extremely shocked when he used them for the first time. He regarded this monocular telescope as a clairvoyant device until he saw a whole box sent from the factory for scouts and squadrons. Only after it is equipped do you know it is a factory mass-produced product.
Adjusting the length of the telescope with both hands, he could clearly see the layout of the Yanguo army's camp and even the defenses outside the camp.
After looking at it for a while, I put down the telescope. Several professional demon soldiers nearby were using pencils to draw key points on the map. The demon army had the most precise military topographic map of the nearby areas, and it was printed in large quantities. It was rumored that the Yan Army wanted to get the special map for the demon army. The map offers a reward of ten taels of gold, which shows how rare it is.
The map indicates the height of the mountains and the Yanguo army's defense zones, and is even strict about where there are water sources and where suitable for marching. Under the control of Bai Bai's cheating device, the demon army appears to be very professional.
Xiao Yezi returned to Qiao Jin panting.
The young and rebellious girl back then grew up and became more stable, growing from an ordinary soldier to Qiao Jin's assistant.
"General, Qian Chaogui, the commander-in-chief of the Yan Kingdom, currently has the final say. The man named Ge was transferred away after hearing that he was transferred to the army. Qian Chaogui has been in constant friction with us since he became the commander-in-chief. They are deliberately provoking... "
Even Xiao Zizi found it unbelievable and unimaginable to say that he was deliberately provocative.
Everyone can see that the snake demon soldiers have become more and more powerful after hundreds of years of expansion. Since the Yan Empire has been at peace for a long time, swords and guns are sent to Kuma and released in Nanshan. At least many demon soldiers actually saw the Yan army on the opposite side herding horses on the south hillside. The provocation came out of nowhere.
If it is normal for the snake demon soldiers to provoke the Yan Kingdom, what about the weak provoking the strong?
"provocative……"
Qiao Jin pondered, wondering why Qian Chaogui was crazy.
In fact, the relationship between the two armies around the border is very strange. It seems that there is tension between the two armies, but it is actually peaceful.
The territory of the Jiao Demon King is located between the black and white tribes of Jiuli. Oh, it should be the Demon King now. Originally, there was no conflict between the territory and the black tribe. However, after the strength of the black tribe of Jiuli declined, they lost large tracts of mountains and forests. The demon soldiers picked up rags. The spirit opens up the territory, so it becomes huge without realizing it.
In the snake demon territory, the white tribe, the black tribe, the Central Plains, the four forces are mixed and wary of each other. The sudden appearance of General Qian wants to break the tranquility, which is puzzling.
Little Leaf thought for a while and then spoke out his knowledge of the border situation.
"General, although the Yan Kingdom court has a bad relationship with us, it will never provoke a fight. Perhaps Qian made his own decision. The specific reason is unknown."
"Oh? Tell me." Qiao Jin said with a smile.
"Ordinary soldiers of the Yan Army often come into contact with us and know the difference in strength between the two sides. They come here with poor food and housing, poor clothing and armor, and are discriminated against. Most of the military pay is embezzled. No one wants to die in the Southern Wasteland in a daze. The lower-level officers and soldiers I don’t want to listen to General Qian’s orders and act nonsense, so every time there is a provocation, I will secretly send someone to notify us in advance to avoid misunderstandings, and the patrol soldiers are just acting with them.”
Xiao Zizi told the actual situation on the border. The Demon Emperor once proposed a practical spirit. Xiao Zizi had stayed at the border for two or three years and knew the situation very well.
Qiao Jin smiled and nodded to continue.
"In private contacts, low-level officers and soldiers often complained about Qian's unauthorized actions. Some soldiers secretly came to Nanhuang to earn money and were accepted by the city government. It is said that they were arranged to work at the port terminal."
In fact, they have a lot of contact with each other in private, mainly with those low-level soldiers. Senior officials will not take risks in front of the snake demon soldiers.
It is the cannon fodder who is sent to death and the high-ranking officials who enjoy the blessings, but the cannon fodder also has his own plans.
The situation between the two armies can be said to be that the commander-in-chief on the opposite side shouted loudly and made trouble. The soldiers at the lower level cooperated with the shouting and made perfunctory work, and secretly went to Jiangcheng to work and make money. I remember a time when a centurion deprived the commander-in-chief of military pay for four months, so he gritted his teeth and ran away with his subordinates. I went to work at the dock and earned a year's salary in one month. I gained a lot of weight and no one took advantage of me...
Qiao Jin looked at the Yanjun outpost in the distance and sighed.
As a human being and the commander of the demon army, I don't have much emotion in my heart. I just sympathize with the human soldiers who left their hometowns to garrison at the border of the Southern Wilderness.
Although the territory is managed by snake demons, there are also many human races, so there is no sense of alienation living here.
"General Soldier Qian Chaogui, hehe, I know little about military affairs but want to make a career. I have read too many military books. I want to find an enemy to train troops to maintain the army's combat effectiveness. Maybe I will also promote the evil of the demon army in the army to deceive those who have just come to the South. What’s the name of the deserted one?”
"Rookie." Xiao Yezi added that the word "rookie" was said by the Demon Emperor.
"That's right. In short, Mr. Qian is using external pressure to seize power. There may be other reasons, but the details are unknown."
"You can really mess around."
Just like the lower-level soldiers of the Yan Army on the opposite side, the Demon Army does not like General Qian either.
He couldn't control the waterway, so he controlled the land route and imposed taxes, causing the mountain road connecting the Southern Wilderness and the Central Plains to be almost abandoned.
A garrison of 50,000 sounds like a lot of power, but that's not how it works out. The monster soldiers are all monsters who have been practicing for many years, and their combat effectiveness is very different. If nothing else, there is no difference between the monster's vision at night and during the day. If it is only activated at night There is no way to resist the attacking Yan Kingdom army. How can we resist it if we can't even see it?
Every night, Soldier Yan's soldiers would sneak into the fortress and light torches, and they would often see snake demon soldiers wandering around under their noses...
Just as Qiao Jin and Xiao Zizi were discussing how to deal with the funny scene, a hundred-man team of the Yan Army formed an organized team and walked through the dense forest and appeared in front of them.
An archer patrol led them to Qiao Jin.
"Report to the general that they want to work at the dock."
The patrolmen gave a military salute to the general, and the commander of the centurion also saw the female general with a higher military rank.
Qiao Jin and Xiao Yezi observed this hundred-man team and said that there were actually more than seventy of them. Needless to say, the remaining number of soldiers was just for the senior officials to use as free pay.
The gap between the two is obvious, not only in terms of combat power. Dozens of snake demon soldiers on the top of the mountain are wearing light armor, carrying bows and arrows, and even equipped with a bayonet. They have complete armor, leather boots, light weapons and sophisticated weapons. The female snake demon has a tall figure and skin. Fair and charming, the male snake demon is also slender and has a cold expression and is always alert.
On the opposite side, the armors are old and poorly equipped, and most of them are wearing straw sandals. Through the soldiers at the bottom, it can be seen that there is something wrong with the Yan Empire itself...
