Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 114 Sudden Waves (Seeking Subscription)

On the second day of October, Yiyi Prefecture, Viper County.

Pit County is located in the southwest corner of Yiyi Prefecture. It is named after a red pitworm with needles on its nose.It borders Teng County in the north, Zulong Mountain in the west, and Nanguan County in Qingqiu Prefecture in the south. There is also a pass in the territory.

It was named Chibuguan.

The Third Brigade of the Second Division of the Southern Army was stationed here.

In the spring campaign at the beginning of the year, the fourth and fifth brigades of the Second Division were assigned to Qianyuan, and the second and third brigades guarding Tengshe Pass and Chibu Pass respectively had more than half of the casualties. Only the first brigade was relatively well preserved.

After a big battle, the Second Division lost more than [-]% of its staff.

In May, almost when Qianyuan was preparing to build the Qingqiu Security Division, the Second Division also started a large-scale recruiting work, and the situation was no better than that of the Qingqiu Security Division.

In the early morning, the red viper pass was exceptionally quiet.

Because it is in the middle of the mountains, the humidity is very heavy, and the canyon is filled with fog. Even if you stand at the top of the city, you will see a vast expanse of whiteness, which is hard to see clearly.

It's like a fairyland on earth.

As in previous years, except for the recruits who just joined the army this year, the veterans of the third brigade stationed here are very leisurely, and some of them are not even in the pass at all, but have gone to the nearby towns to enjoy themselves.

Did not return all night.

Because by convention, autumn is not a time for war.

In particular, the Qingqiu Kingdom released rumors early in the morning, threatening to retaliate against the Qingqiu Mansion this year. With the outbreak of the battle at Zhennanguan, the rumors have been verified.

In this case, there will be no war at Red Maki Pass.

Even the headquarters of the division is just a routine reminder to ask the third brigade to strengthen its guard a little bit, just thinking about whether it can fish in troubled waters.

I never thought that there would really be a war.

At the head of the red viper, the patrolling soldiers who had been on duty all night yawned, greeted their companions who came to take over the shift, and prepared to return to the barracks to catch up on sleep.

Everything is so ordinary.

"Hey, what is that?"

At this moment, a patrolling soldier inadvertently swept across the canyon below, and saw a black shadow suddenly rising from the thick fog, like a mysterious monster, quickly approaching the city gate under the cover of fog.

The patrolling soldier was a little uncertain, wiped his tired eyes, and looked down again.

It's clearer now.

Because the black shadow is getting closer, no, it's not a black shadow, it's the Kuroshio, with flags unfurling, swords and guns everywhere, "It's the demon army, the demon army is attacking~~~~~"

The hasty and frightened shouts of the patrolling soldiers pierced the silence of the morning.

"Hula!!!"

Before the other soldiers could react, a thundering roar suddenly came from the mist, containing powerful power that could tear everything apart, and even the white mist rolled.

The demon army no longer covered up, revealing their ferocious faces. They shouted, roared, and charged at the unprepared Red Viper Pass.

War came without warning.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Ring the bell, damn it, ring the bell..."

The soldiers at the head of the city were completely panicked.

At this moment, in the white fog below, a sharp arrow pierced through the thick fog, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and hit the city.

The snake demon archers attacked.

Under the rain of arrows, more than a dozen soldiers died immediately.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Accompanied by the screams, there was a rapid and powerful bell.

"What's going on?" Hearing the bell, Liu Mingchuan, the brigade commander of the third brigade, was so frightened that he quickly jumped out of the bed, with no time to put on his clothes.

"Brigade Commander, it's an early warning at the top of the city, there is an enemy attack!"

The soldiers guarding the door were veterans after all, so they were quite calm, but the performance of the other soldiers was too disappointing. Some were still asleep and didn't hear anything at all, and some were in a panic and were asking around.

The whole pass was in chaos.

Recruits who have not really experienced war are really useless.

"Enemy attack? Damn it." Liu Mingchuan couldn't help scolding his mother, "Give me an order, all ministries must assemble immediately."

"promise!"

Liu Mingchuan turned around and entered the house, put on his armor in a hurry, and climbed to the top of the city surrounded by his own soldiers.

In just a short while, the demon army had already approached the city. Under the cover of the snake demon archers, they raised their shields and pushed the battering hammer to attack the city gate.

There is no doubt that this was a well-planned and premeditated raid.

In order to conceal their whereabouts and paralyze the enemy as much as possible, the demon army didn't even bring their favorite siege weapon - the Turtle Chariot, just to kill the enemy by surprise.

They got it right.

At this time, there were only patrolling soldiers at the head of Chiba Pass, and they could not pose a threat to the demon army at all. The siege troops had almost no casualties, and they arrived at the gate of the city smoothly.

boom!
The battering hammer wrapped in fine iron spikes, driven by more than a hundred bull monsters, attacked the city gate again and again, and there was an overwhelmed creaking sound from the city gate.

Breaking the city is imminent!

Liu Mingchuan looked at the dark monster army under the city, and roughly estimated that there were no less than four thousand. His face was extremely solemn. The number of soldiers in the third brigade who were actually stationed in the pass was only one thousand.

The remaining three battalions were arranged in military camps near the pass.

"Give me an order to let the third, fourth, and fifth battalions move into the pass immediately." Liu Mingchuan ordered.

"promise!"

"Send another person to inform the division headquarters."

"promise!"

After giving the order, Liu Mingchuan's expression did not become relaxed at all. On the contrary, there was a flash of determination in his eyes. He was just doing his best and obeying the destiny.

Looking at the soldiers who were disheveled and rushed up to the top of the wall after receiving the order, Liu Mingchuan's eyes were full of despair, "It's over..."

…………

On the third day of October, Yingshui County, the wartime headquarters.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

Qian Yuan was processing official documents without raising his head.

"Your Highness, this is an urgent official letter from Zhao Yao City overnight." A soldier walked in.

"what?"

At this juncture, what kind of official letter will swagger city send.

Qianyuan instinctively felt uneasy, took the official letter, opened it, and saw that it read: "Note to the King of Qingqiu: On the second day of October, the Qingqiu National Leopard Demon Army raided Chibu Pass, broke through the pass, and Liu Ming, the brigade commander who guards the pass, fought die……"

After breaking through the barrier, the leopard demon army may not be in a hurry to leave the barrier, but stationed in the barrier to rest.

"how come?"

Qian Yuan turned pale with shock, "Come here, quickly invite the military division to discuss matters."

"promise!"

After a while, Guo Jia came in a hurry, Qian Yuan had regained his composure, and handed over the official letter, "Look at it first."

After seeing it, Guo Jia also frowned, raised his head, and said apologetically, "My lord, to be honest, I really missed the enemy's move."

Zhennan pass was not lost, Yize pass was not lost, but something happened to red viper pass.

This matter is really weird.

"That's why it was unexpected."

Qian Yuan didn't blame Guo Jia, but instead asked: "In your opinion, the purpose of the demon army's doing this is to go south to invade Qingqiu Mansion by way of Viper County to complete revenge? Or is it the so-called revenge? It is a cover from beginning to end, and its real intention is to invade the empire?"

Without knowing the enemy's purpose, it is impossible to formulate countermeasures.

In his official letter, Sun Zhaolin, the governor of Zhaoyao County, not only reported the military situation at Chibiguan, but also vaguely mentioned that the demon army suddenly attacked Chibiguan. Is it Qingqiu Mansion's move to "direct trouble to the east"?
The words of condemnation are full of malice.

I also know that if this matter is not dealt with, it may cause another wave in the court.

Guo Jiadao: "From the anomaly of the Fox Demon Army's attack on Zhennan Pass, to the Leopard Demon Army's raid on Red Viper Pass, it can be concluded that the two are linked together. This is a well-planned drama. As for the enemy's goal? Qingqiu Mansion is still in the southwest of the empire, so it's hard to draw a conclusion yet. It depends on whether the Leopard Demon Army will go south."

Qian Yuan nodded, expressing his approval of Guo Jia's judgment.

"Then, should we transfer the third brigade to station at the border of Nanguan County now?" Qian Yuan didn't want the flames of war to be brought into the fief, which would lose the trust of the people in the fief.

It would be better to resolve the fighting at the border.

"That's inappropriate." Guo Jia shook his head.

"How to say?"

Guo Jiadao: "Now the purpose of the demon army is unclear. According to the official letter, the demon army that attacked Red Viper Pass was only four thousand, not all of the leopard demon army."

Qian Yuan frowned: "You mean, the theory of ambush that was guessed before may still be true?"

"Exactly."

Guo Jia nodded and analyzed: "If the ultimate goal of the demon army is to take revenge on Qingqiu Mansion, then they will use Chiba Pass as bait to attract part of the main force of our army, and then launch an attack from Zhennan Pass or Yize Pass. It is very possible. With the strength of the garrison division, if we fight on the third front, we will definitely lose."

"That's it."

Qian Yuan tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously, he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, "What if, I mean, what if the main force of the Leopard Demon Army goes south from Red Viper Pass? In that case, Zhennan Pass will be attacked by the enemy."

It seems that no matter how you do it, there is trouble.

"My lord is very worried."

Guo Jia did not refute, but said: "The matter has developed to this point, it is no longer a matter of the Qingqiu Mansion, the Lord may not have to take all the responsibility on one person, and the Red Viper Pass was breached, we are naturally uncomfortable, But the one who suffers more is the [-]nd Division of the Zhaoyao County. They should take responsibility."

The Second Division was in charge of guarding Zhaoyao County. Let alone the four thousand Leopard Demon Army, even if the Leopard Demon Army was attacking with all its strength, it stands to reason that the Second Division should be able to defend it.

"I'm afraid that those people will play dirty tricks." Qian Yuan was very worried. Those people could do it by putting internal struggles above the interests of the empire.

Guo Jia said: "Then find a way to force them to stand up."

"Appreciate further details!"
