Otherworldly Castle Era

When Zhu Cheng led the front army to the river, he could clearly see a ruin near the collapsed bridge, both sides of the river.

Although the remains of some local residents were found at the scene, which is what the scout said was the trace of the enemy army, no large number of refugees and enemy troops were found.

However, with the erection of the simple bridge, some figures gradually appeared on the other side of the river, which made Zhu Chenghua order a warning; and as the construction of the bridge was completed, more and more figures appeared on the other side.

When Xia's vanguard army set foot on the north bank of the river, they discovered that these figures were all local residents, who appeared to be victims of the enemy army, and now they have become refugees.

"It seems that the scope of the enemy's activities ends at this river." Seeing that the situation on both sides of the strait is completely different, Zhu Cheng has already made a general guess: "I want to come to the enemy, this is to fortify the wall and clear the country."

"Head, what should I do to these barbarians?" Taidong leaned forward at this time, waiting for Zhu Cheng to make a decision.

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Cheng waved his hand and ordered: "Order the 112th Battalion to stay and garrison the bridge. No one is allowed to come near. If there is a trespasser, kill me!"

"Yes, regiment commander." Taidong knew Zhu Cheng's choice, and after taking the order, he let the regiment's messenger send the order. He walked to Zhu Cheng's side and looked at the army lined up across the bridge in batches. Some worried: "Head, I guess the road ahead is not easy."

"Don't be afraid." Zhu Cheng glanced at Taidong beside him, and said calmly: "The headquarters is the vanguard of the whole army. It is also a good thing to encounter the enemy at this time."

It was also the first time that Zhu Cheng led the army alone, and the pressure in his heart was not easy, but he always kept in mind his responsibilities as a pioneer, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Order!" Seeing that the army was about to cross the river, Zhu Cheng solemnly ordered: "The cavalry company has increased the scope of investigation, and the clues cannot be let go."

"Order the servants to march forward, the Eleventh Regiment in the middle, and the militiamen to transport supplies behind, and move forward on alert."...

Zhu Cheng issued several orders in succession, and finally lowered the volume, and instructed Taidong: "Take a detailed account of what happened to our department and report it to the general headquarters."

"Yes, captain, I'm going now." Taishan hugged his fists and was about to leave to pass the letter, but at this time, a cavalry rushed forward again.

"Report~!" The cavalry got close, strangled the horse, and jumped off the horse back, and said with a fist toward Zhu Cheng: "Head Qi, all villages and towns within ten kilometers ahead have been burned, and the barbarians are living in the countryside. Still no enemy troops were found."

"Not good!" Hearing the report from the scout, Taidong turned his face to Zhu Cheng and said, "Regimental commander, the enemy is trying to use the hand of the barbarians to block the way of our army!"

"Haha~!" Hearing Taidong's words, Zhu Cheng also wanted to understand the enemy's purpose, he couldn't help but sneered, and said: "If this place is the land of my Xia country, the name of the exiled is the people of Xia country, and this is a poisonous scheme. It’s hard to atone for his sins even with death.

"Head Nayi means..." Taidong looked at Zhu Cheng's eyes with limited changes. He didn't expect the other party to treat these foreigners so improperly, but he also knew that this idea was in Xia. Ubiquitous.

"You go and spread the letter first, and report this matter to the headquarters." Zhu Cheng didn't say much, but the implication was already very obvious.

Zhu Cheng kept his mission in mind. Just like what he said, if what happened in this place was in Xia and the people who suffered were also the people of Xia country, there is no need to say more at all. Helping the people must be the first. , And then the enemy will come to face the anger of Xia's army!

It's just that this place is just a piece of land in a vassal country. Although there is some sympathy for these refugees in his heart, Zhu Cheng will not give up his heavy responsibility because of this pity.

"Order, the whole army continues to move forward, if it is blocked... If there is a blocker, kill without mercy!" Zhu Cheng made up his mind.

The vanguard army then continued on the journey, but before long, a sentinel reported again: "Report to the commander that there are about 3,000 refugees blocking the road ahead. According to their words, they should be begging our army for food. "

"Isn't this regiment commanding first? In case of obstacles, kill without mercy!" When Zhu Cheng looked at the sentinel and was about to give hands-on orders with a blank expression, Taidong took the lead and suggested: " Commander, it's better to hand all the refugees here to the servant army to resolve."

At the beginning, Zhu Cheng wanted to let the soldiers of the 11th Regiment go first, and took advantage of this opportunity to let the recruits see blood. However, after hearing Taidong's suggestion, Zhu Cheng asked in a puzzled manner: "What is the meaning of the staff? "

"Head of the regiment, although the people blocking the road are barbarians, they are all unarmed people. It would be inconvenient to let the soldiers of the country go to the slaughter." Taidong explained: "Furthermore, this is also to prevent mixing among refugees. Enemy, it's better to let the servants try it out first."

Taidong thinks more than Zhu Cheng. Taidong knows that there are many recruits in the vanguard. If the first **** battle is to slaughter refugees, it will inevitably cause the soldiers to have ideological problems. It is better to do this kind of "dirty work". ", "Tired work" is simply handed over to the servants.

In addition, Taidong didn't make it clear that he couldn't understand the strategy used by the enemy. Either the enemy underestimated Xia Jun, or the enemy must have another plan. Taidong didn't believe that the enemy thought that the refugees in this area wanted to block Xia Jun's path.

Zhu Cheng thought about it carefully, and felt that Taidong was right, so he nodded and agreed with the other party's suggestion, and then ordered: "Order the servant army to send a thousand-man team to eliminate the enemy who is blocking the road~www.novelmtl.com ~ Listening to Zhu Cheng's naming, he completely regarded these refugees who were obstructing the road as enemies.

As the order was issued, the front part of the vanguard soon moved up a small part, accelerated its speed, and launched an attack on the three thousand refugees blocking the road ahead.

Although the servant army only has simple weapons and has no long-range attacks, it has no problem dealing with refugees who have been hungry for several days.

I saw a thousand-man team of the servant army, under the command of its captain, launched a charge against the ragged refugees, just like a group of lions rushing into the flock, and it was still a flock of sheep that had no power to escape. The result was long ago Doomed.

It was just a charge, all three thousand refugees were lying in a pool of blood, and there was no sound, and the army of a thousand troops did not lose a single person at all. These three thousand refugees did not stop Xia Jun for a second at all.

The servant army returned and continued to move forward. The vanguard slightly bypassed the flesh and blood on the ground, and its remains will be burned and buried by the militia behind.

To say that these three thousand refugees were not ineffective at all, at least the corpses on the ground made Xia Jun give way a little-this may be the only role these three thousand refugees can play.
