Devil’s Advent

Zheng Fan really had a cold, and it took half a month for the cold to heal.

But what he said that night was not stupid, because the strength of the seven demon kings had been further restored.

If Zheng Fan is an eighth-rank martial artist, the Seventh Demon King is probably also in the eighth-rank realm, but they are different. The BUG bonuses given to them in terms of bloodlines, experience, special abilities, etc., make them not just seven or eight. It's as simple as a master.

Everyone in the field house has enjoyed the treatment of "one person wins the Tao and ascends to heaven\

,"It's the same here in Green Willow Castle, but the one here in Green Willow Castle is more acceptable.

Although the cold was gone, Zheng Fan still didn't wear armor, but a padded jacket, a thick padded jacket and a scarf around his neck, and he made himself look like a rice dumpling.

Today is cloudy and rainy, and the weather is bitterly cold, and the coolness on the ice slag seems to be able to pierce your skin.

But despite this, the training in the fort is still going on in an orderly manner.

Of all the fortresses on the border of Yinlang County, the one that is so luxurious that it has an independent school grounds is probably only Green Willow Fort.

Therefore, whether in modern times or in ancient times, although money is not a panacea, it can solve most problems.

On the school grounds, Huo Guang was practicing with seven hundred clansmen. How long has the Great Yan Clan been passed down? Under the infiltration of arrogance and extravagance, there are fewer and fewer clansmen who are willing to work hard and continue to pass on "martial arts" to their families.

People are longing for comfort and making their lives more comfortable, but the Huo family is an exception.

But this kind of accident did not change the fate of the Huo family being subverted in the wave of the Zhenbei army's horses stepping on the door, but, from another perspective, it also provided them with a greater chance to turn around.

Fighting in the battle formation needs to get rid of a lot of personal fighting problems. It doesn't need too fancy things, but pays attention to a coordination.

This is what Liang Cheng said. Therefore, in the past half a month, under the leadership of Liang Cheng, the Huo family, who have not been split, began to gradually wear away the individual heroism of the family children through drills.

Zuo Jiqian is still in charge of the Zuo family. The battle is imminent, and there is no time to divide and disintegrate. First, bring your own family with you, but you can quickly increase your cohesion and combat effectiveness.

Let's talk about the future.

Zheng Fan didn't understand the principles of military training, so he didn't point fingers.

Oh, no, Zheng Fan only had one request, and that was to keep that idiot Fan Li away from him during training. He didn't want his recruits to learn to shout "Ula".

It's better not to deviate too much from the style of painting, otherwise, as the commander, I won't be able to get enough sense of vanity when I need it.

Zheng Fan's attitude has been made very clear that night, I want to play, I want to make trouble, but I don't want to be responsible, it sounds like a scumbag.

In fact, after that night, the way Zheng Fan got along with everyone did not change much. The demon kings still called themselves masters, but there was a touch of calmness between each other.

Zheng Fan enjoys this kind of atmosphere, he thinks this is what life should be like.

As for whether the demon kings really think this way, Zheng Fan doesn't know, and he doesn't want to bother his brain anymore. He only wants to be an ostrich, which looks stupid, but he is comfortable.

"ah~"

Zheng Fan yawned. Si Niang's needlework has improved again in the past few days. For her, she is no longer satisfied with using her hands to make needles, and even her feet...

His subordinates want to develop new skills and practice new techniques, as the master, Zheng Fan can only serve as a training partner.

Alas, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell.

"My lord." The blind man Bei came over, "The Secret Service has sent someone."

...

In front of the brazier, Zheng Fan, who had wrapped himself into rice dumplings, was sitting on a chair, with his hands on the brazier while he was roasting, his body was shaking back and forth gently.

The person from the Secret Service is an acquaintance.

The last time I went to Huaiya Academy, the one who was sent by Du Juan to the academy to deliver orders was also the brother who was assigned a beating task after being asked by Zheng Fan whether he had sneaked a peek at the female boss taking a bath.

This brother's name is very individual, his name is Sanji.

When I first introduced myself,

Zheng Fan heard it like a pheasant,

Fortunately, the cold is gone.

Otherwise, Zheng Fan would really burst out laughing.

Shanji is a subordinate of Du Juan, and Du Juan is the head of the secret spy department of Yinlang County, and also Mrs. Jingnan Hou.

"Master Zheng, you are too stable here."

Sanji came to greet him. After introducing himself, he exchanged pleasantries throughout the whole process. The theme was this sentence.

Then, he left.

After he left, Blind Bei came out from the back of the hall, dragged a chair over, and sat down beside Zheng Fan.

"Master, tell me, whose meaning is this?"

"It should be the cuckoo."

Because Blind Bei had never had real contact with the Marquis of Jingnan, he couldn't be sure about some of his judgments.

Zheng Fan continued:

"The Marquis of Jingnan will not send someone to ask me about this. He should be very busy now, and Du Juan should be in charge of these matters."

"That's why Xu Wenzu carried it down." Blind Bei said.

Zheng Fan nodded and said, "It should be."

After all, the Secret Service Division is not the staff department, and it is obviously against the rules to skip the Shangguan and pass the message to him, but it is probably because Xu Wenzu unconditionally favors Green Willow Castle, so Du Juan specially sent Shanji to remind him.

In fact, when Zheng Fan was still helping Jingnanhou's house to collect the corpses in the Tianzhai, the leaders of the major armies in Yinlang County had already received orders from Jingnanhou.

The order is very simple, do your best to harass Qian Guo!

Nanwang City is the first line of defense, and also the most important town in the southern border of Yan State, but at this time, besides Xu Wenzu, there are eight general officers on the border of Yan State.

They were pushed forward from the original defense area and station, that is to say, here, including Xu Wenzu, there are a total of nine generals, and there are more military leaders under their command.

Therefore, when Jingnanhou's order was issued, so many military chiefs began to pierce the border defense line of Qian country like wasps.

The war actually started before Zheng Fan came back.

Then, when Zheng Fan led the prisoners back, half a month later, he still didn't respond to the order of the Marquis of Jingnan, and just huddled in the fortress to practice and train.

"This should be the beginning of the first phase of the war." Blind Bei said.

According to Blind Bei's calculations, the first stage of Yan's war against Qian was to rely on the strength of the Jingnan Army to eat up the field elites of Qian's three towns in the north. After the war to pave the way.

The purpose of the current harassment is to attract the imperial court of Qian State to move all the troops that can be mobilized around it to the three sides, and then force the frontier army of Qian State to fight a field battle with the Yan army.

At the same time, because the various military leaders below have absorbed a large number of powerful prisoners, they also need to rely on this kind of intensive military activities to run the team. .

"Blind man, do you feel that after hundreds of years of war between the Yan Kingdom and the barbarians, even the way of fighting has become very similar to the barbarians."

"That's right."

When the barbarians go out to fight, they always use the royal army as the main force, and then call on the rest of the tribes to send warriors to join the battle to form an army.

On Yan State's side, the Jingnan Army is like a royal army, and the army leaders including Zheng Fan are like tribes who came to help in the battle.

"The Gan people are really calm." Zheng Fan said with emotion.

Although Cuiliu Fort did not participate in the battle, Zheng Fan knew more or less about the battle situation of the other brother troops. The Qian people relied on the defense system of the fort, even if they were crossed by the small cavalry units of the Yan Army again and again, they still did not Taking any active offensive posture, the elite of the three towns have never come out once, and it seems that they are determined to be this shrinking turtle.

"Yes, there are not many who have taken advantage of it, and there are even many who have suffered."

"hehe."

Zheng Fan smiled.

To be honest, Zheng Fan was not in a hurry. After all, he was the one who fired the first shot, so he was able to get into the sight of the Marquis of Jingnan. Right now, he has Xu Wenzu as his backer, so he can be calm.

Although it is true that it is a bit boring to concentrate on military training here, there is no need to run out in a hurry and bump around like headless chickens.

"My lord, according to the news from the sixth prince, it is said that Yang Taiwei, the governor of the three towns of Qianguo, wrote to the court of Qianguo, asking to transfer the southwestern soldiers of Qianguo to the north for defense."

"In recent years, Qianguo has fought with the chieftains in the southwest area. The soldiers there may be able to fight, but it is not a cause for concern." Zheng Fan said.

"indeed."

There are many mountains in the southwestern part of Qianguo, but the three counties of Yinlang County and Qianguo Border Town are plains. Even if the southwestern soldiers of Qianguo can fight again, at most they have good combat capabilities in the mountains. On the plains, when encountering cavalry charges , the same has to rest.

"This is not the key, the key lies in the second article."

"Oh, number two?"

"Yes, Taiwei Yang also suggested that all the fortresses on the border of the Qian Kingdom should be abolished, and the troops should be shrunk to the important towns in the three counties."

Hearing this, Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes.

This is determined to be a turtle.

Don't look at the fact that the fortress on the border of Qian State has indeed played a significant role in defending against the harassment of Yan State's army leaders, but that is because the general offensive has not yet started, and it is just a small fight at the moment.

Once the Jingnan Army is mobilized, the warning function of these fortresses is basically meaningless. Once the Qianguo shrinks its troops and abandons the wild areas, it seems to be a cowardly act, but defending the city and fighting in the field are completely different concepts.

You can't let Yan's most proud cavalry dismount and climb the city wall, can you?

This is simply criminal.

"If you really make him a shrinking turtle, then the problem will be big."

What Yan State pursues is a quick battle. It is best to eat up all the elites in the north of Qian Kingdom through two or three battles, and then drive straight in. Once they are forcibly dragged to the north of Qian Kingdom, they start playing civil engineering...

Zheng Fan licked his lips, "Yan Guo, I can't afford it, Yan Guo has been burned into a pot of boiling oil by the three of Yan Huang, and I have to quickly stir-fry the dishes, but I can't afford to cook slowly."

"This eunuch is not simple." Blind Bei said.

"Well, Marquis Jingnan also said similar things, but he should be transferred away."

"After this memorial is up, it should speed up the process of his being transferred."

"Leave him alone, the eunuch's matter is a headache for Emperor Yan and Marquis Jingnan. I said, since the secret spy department has sent someone to remind us, our soldiers have been training for some days, do we have to go out?" Have you tried the knife?"

"Master, do you want to play?"

"yes."

The blind man Bei asked very straightforwardly, and Zheng Fan also answered very straightforwardly.

"It can be. In fact, our Green Willow Castle surpasses other army chiefs by a lot in terms of numbers, equipment, and quality of soldiers. However, with so many armors, so many horses, and every day With such a good supply of food, to be honest, it's time for the Sixth Prince to see the results of his investment."

"Listen to you, are there any conditions?"

"Yes, this time, the subordinate has conditions."

"explain."

"The last time I went to Qianguo, my lord took Ah Cheng with me. This time, we all have to go."

...

The practice in the afternoon was cancelled, and it was rare for everyone to rest for half a day. The food in the evening was much better than usual, with more meat, even to the point where you could eat meat alone to keep you full.

In fact, the various troops in the border towns of Yan State really did not lack food, and the terrifying savings of the elites were enough to make the court of Yan State only worry about happiness when it came to food and grass.

But it is almost impossible to eat as well as Cui Liubao. Zheng Fan is willing to spend money on his subordinates. Of course, the most important thing is that the money is not from him.

Yanjing's little six sons may encounter the same problem as myself, which is confusion. Spending more money on him and giving him the life goal of working hard to make money is also helping him.

The soldiers were very excited to take the food bowls to receive the meals, and after sitting down, they began to eat meat with big mouthfuls.

In front of the school grounds, several bonfires were lit.

Huo Guang sat there, took the broth brought by his tribe and drank it slowly.

On the other side, Zuo Jiqian is almost the same.

One has experience, the other has served as a guard in Ji Tui Fort, and the two men who are still prisoners have different acumen than ordinary soldiers.

They guessed it, there was going to be a war.

Although eating very well in the fort these days, except for a little hard work during the drill, there is no other discomfort, but what this group of people desire most now is not the quality of the food and lodging, what they want is military merit!

They need to use the heads of the soldiers of the Qian State to help their families get out of slavery.

Zheng Fan could wait there as steadily as Mount Tai, but these prison soldiers were already hungry and thirsty.

At the end of the night, after the soldiers lined up to distribute dry food, arrows and other things, everyone finally realized what to do.

An eager atmosphere began to pervade the school grounds.

And in the yard,

A map is spread out,

Seven people are discussing the battle plan around the map.

"If you want me to say, if you want to play, you can play a big one. I think Mianzhou City is pretty good."

Zheng Fan poked his finger on the sign of Mianzhou City.

Mianzhou City is not considered one of the three major towns in Qianguo, but it is not a small city. The most important thing is that it is difficult for a person to fall twice in the same pit, but it is true that people will fall into the pit where they have picked up money. Bend over many times.

Zheng Fan likes this city.

"Actually, it's all right." Blind Bei didn't care. It's not impossible to take a surprise and learn how to cross Chishui four times.

"But won't they be on guard?" Xue San asked worriedly.

After all, Mianzhou City is the only city in Qian Kingdom that has fallen since the friction between Yan and Gan.

"These days, those small army leaders are constantly raiding the borders of the Qianguo. In fact, it will make the Qianguo slack off, because the troops of those army leaders really don't have much combat effectiveness." Liang Cheng said.

Among the seven people present, he was the only character with war skills.

"They are small in number and poorly equipped. At most, they can light the fortresses of the Qian Kingdom a few more times on the border. On the contrary, this is a good cover for us."

Last time, when Liang Cheng and Zheng Fan went to the Qian Kingdom, there were only four hundred barbarian cavalry around them.

This time, it's different. Fort Cui Liu is expected to send 1,500 horses this time. Of course, compared with the 1,500 horses, Liang Cheng is more confident that,

Guys, this time we will all go!

As a member of the Devil King, Liang Cheng knew exactly what kind of terrifying abilities these same kind possessed.

The rest of them don't really care about where to go or how to fight, they just want a place to play.

Those eager soldiers on the school field outside probably wouldn't have expected it,

With what kind of "entertainment" spirit did the leaders inside formulate their battle plans.

In the end, Zheng Fan made the concluding statement,

"Let's tentatively set the target as Mianzhou City. Let's take a step and see. After we set off on the road, Liang Chenglai will be the commander and give orders. We will listen to you later."

Everyone agrees,

Liang Cheng also nodded.

"Then shall we... send troops?" Xue San asked.

The blind man opened his mouth and said, "My lord, I think this seems a bit hasty."

"Hmm." Zheng Fan nodded and said, "I feel the same way, do you have anything to add or analyze?"

Blind Bei said seriously:

"I think the Lord should give a speech to the soldiers before setting off."

"Need it?"

"Very much."

………

The soldiers were waiting anxiously, and then they waited out the garrison of Green Willow Castle, which is their current military gate.

In the past half a month, it was the first time for these prison soldiers to see that their guards were wearing armor instead of big padded jackets.

It's almost... stated.

The breathing of everyone on the school field began to thicken.

"Really, what can I say?" Zheng Fan asked the blind man Bei beside him.

"Sir, you can say whatever you want."

"oh."

Zheng Fan nodded and stepped forward.

Everyone became quiet, and there was no other noise except for the occasional crackling of firewood in the bonfire.

"cough…………"

The old-fashioned opening with a clear cough, in future generations, is to say into the microphone: "Hello, hello."

The soldiers on the school field were very face-saving, and they were all staring at Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan said:

"I think everyone knows that the imperial court escorted you here in the hope that you can die here so as not to cause trouble to the imperial court."

"..." The audience!
