The demons Huang Ji and Yun Ji from Qingqiu Prefecture City
are discussing the war in front of them. One of them is a demon from the Ape Tribe, and the other is a demon from the Snake Tribe. Both of them can represent their own tribes.
The demon temple of the demons is a thing of the past. Now the demons are divided into three levels: low, middle, and high. The high-level demons are the ruling class of the demons, and the elite elders of the high-level demons like to give themselves names with the word "Ji" after their names.
The fierce counterattack of the human race this time caught them off guard. After all, since they broke through the Qingjiang defense line of the fairy country 20 or 30 years ago, in their minds, the human race is useless and very weak.
Think about their five major tribes going south, together with their vassals, there were only a few million people, but they destroyed the fairy country with a population of hundreds of millions, and occupied the sixteen states in the north of the Chen Kingdom, which had a population of over 100 million.
Now that 20 or 30 years have passed, the number of demons has skyrocketed and increased several times. They should have crushed the human race more, but now they are in danger of being pushed back.
"Huang Ji, our monster tribe's good luck has ended. Now we are facing a powerful and vigorous human tribe."
"Yun Ji, what do you mean by good luck has ended?"
"When we went south from Qingjiang, both the human fairy kingdom and the Chen Kingdom were at the end of their lives, just like our monster tribe that was powerful but faced fragmentation. That's why we were able to rely on millions of people to fight all the way here. Now the human Chen Kingdom has become the Datong Kingdom, which is their most prosperous time."
"If I had known earlier, I would have swallowed up all the human race in one go."
"If we hadn't read the books of the human race, how would we know this? It's too late to regret it, but it doesn't matter. We are much bigger now than before and can still beat the human race."
Yun Ji said. As a wise man among the monsters, he has been leading the monsters to learn the culture of the human race, and the profound knowledge of the human race has made him smarter.
The two monsters continued to discuss, but suddenly there was a commotion outside. The two walked out of the room and came all the way to the city wall. Then they saw a scene that made them extremely angry.
I saw dozens of wooden poles erected in front of the human army outside the city. On each pole was hung a demon child, no more than twelve or thirteen years old. These demon children had serious injuries and were hung on the poles, screaming and crying, which broke the hearts of the demons in the city.
In the ancient times in the history of the demons, it was very difficult for the demons to pass on their offspring, so a tradition of attaching great importance to the offspring of the demons was formed. Within
the demons, the ranking of the demon offspring is sometimes higher than that of ordinary young men, which is enough to show their status.
"Thief..."
Yun Ji felt that she was as cultured as the masters of the human race, but she was also furious.
"Yun Ji, gather your tribesmen and fight with me."
"Huang Ji, this may be a trap."
"I know it's a trap, but those are the children of my ape tribe, they are high-level demons. If I can't even protect the children of high-level demons, how can I be supported by my tribesmen? The same will be true for your snake tribe in the future."
Huang Ji said immediately. Both of them were wise men, very smart people. How could they not know that this was a trap? But even if it was a trap, they had to jump. Protecting their offspring was the bottom line of the demons.
"Then rush them down in one wave, don't hold back, even if half of the tribesmen die, they must be annihilated."
"Okay, don't hold back, let's go."
Huang Ji nodded. Before, they were still thinking about how to defeat these human beings at the lowest cost, but now they only think about revenge and killing.
········
"Your Majesty, the demons are out, the camp outside the city is gathering, and the demons in the city are also mobilizing."
On the Datong Army side, several watchtowers were built to observe the situation of the enemy army, and soon discovered the mobilization of the demon troops.
"Okay, very good. Let's prepare as we discussed before. Our people must be able to fight at any time."
Lin Jiang nodded. This move was very effective. It would be much easier to deal with the monsters in the future. We could set an ambush for the monsters with this move.
The monsters moved very quickly. Soon, the monsters in the military camp outside the city were dispatched. The monsters in the military camp outside the city were basically tribal monsters. They had no training at all and rushed in like a black crowd.
"The monsters want to take us away in one go. Come on, prepare for battle."
Lin Jiang shouted. He felt something was wrong as soon as he saw the monsters' posture. The monsters were very cruel. They wanted to take them away in one go. The beginning was a decisive battle.
"Bang, bang"
The monsters were extremely fast and soon reached the attack range of heavy equipment such as catapults. The Datong Army began to counterattack.
The Datong Army's heavy catapults can project thousands of kilograms of stones hundreds of meters away. They are very powerful, and ordinary monsters cannot withstand them head-on. They are very effective against this kind of group attack, and one huge stone can knock down several people.
Different weapons were used at different distances. The demons endured rounds of attacks and finally approached the camp wall. However, there were trenches and other traps waiting for them in front of the camp wall.
"Your Majesty, the demons from Qingqiu Prefecture City have been dispatched."
"I expected this a long time ago. Commander Xia, you command the front battlefield. The other marshals will each take their men to the other battlefields to build up our manpower advantage."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Qingzhou Xiao family, find a way to notify them and let them find opportunities on their own. Anyway, go now."
Lin Jiang waved his hand, and soon Su Yu and other marshals left. If hundreds of thousands of troops were to be deployed, a large battlefield space was needed. They must not be blocked here, otherwise they might kill each other if the demons rushed in.
"The demon martial saints have been dispatched. You go and deal with them. Send more people."
Lin Jiang had been observing the battlefield. When he saw the demon martial saint appear, many soldiers under the camp wall had been killed, and he immediately said to the martial saint beside him.
There are more than 20 martial saints in Datong country now. A small part of them are unwilling to contribute to the court. Now there are 19 in the army including Lin Jiang. For example, Fang Rui has been famous for a long time and has been taught by Lin Jiang for many years. He is already a top martial saint, but there are not many of them. Most of them are martial saints who have just broken through in recent years.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Several martial saints looked at each other and flew down quickly. They enjoyed the best treatment in the army for today. It was a battle between martial saints.
"The demon army has begun to form a team. One hundred thousand people have formed twenty square formations, and five thousand people in each formation. It seems that they don't want to break through head-on."
Xia Liang has been paying attention to the demon army coming out of Qingqiu Prefecture. That is the elite from Qianzhou, which is not comparable to tribal soldiers.
"The high-ranking officials of the demons have been learning everything from us humans. They have learned everything, including our poetry, martial arts, and military systems. There is nothing they don't want. We are dealing with people more and more like humans."
"Your Majesty, this demon should be destroyed as soon as possible. If it continues to develop, our human race will find it difficult to resist. There will be no second Mr. Wolong in the world in the future."
Xia Liang said in a deep voice. At first, many people's impression of the demons was that the demons were a smarter beast, but as they learned more about the demons, Xia Liang felt that the demons were more and more terrible.
"Yes, they will definitely be destroyed."
Lin Jiang nodded. They will definitely be destroyed, otherwise he would wake up in vain.
When the demons finished their team, it was already dark, but the demons did not think of stopping and were still fighting. At this time, more than a dozen camps of the Datong Army were also broken. However, more than
a dozen were not a big deal. If an army of 800,000 were to be stationed here, there would be at least hundreds of camps. Each camp was connected by walls and gullies. It was useless for them to break through more than a dozen camps. Instead, they faced an environment like a maze.
"Your Majesty, the demon army has moved. This battle is going to be a bloody one. Your Majesty, please leave first."
"General Xia, are you out of your mind? Let me go?"
"Your Majesty, it's dark, we can't rescue you in time."
"Rescue shit, think about yourselves, start the battle according to the plan, have the rear camps been renovated?"
"It's been renovated, and 16 camps are already full of traps."
"Let them in, ambush and kill them."
Lin Jiang nodded. The focus of the demons now is to break through the Datong army's camps. They used this mentality to turn the 16 camps into traps.
After dark, the Datong army lit torches and illuminated the camps red, but the demons didn't have this habit. In the dark, their eyes were no different from those of wild beasts, basically emitting green light, so at a glance, hundreds of thousands of green eyes were looking at you, which was terrifying.
Night battles are slightly disadvantageous for the human race. Although Lin Jiang's men don't have night blindness, normal people can't see clearly at night, especially some sharpshooters, which has a great impact.
"General Xia, send a team to try to attack Qingqiu City and temporarily slow down their offensive. This battle must be delayed until dawn. After dawn, we will start the counterattack."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
Xia Liang nodded. Outside the camp, they also had some people, mainly light cavalry.
Thousands of light cavalry tried to attack the city, which shocked the monsters, but they were not too worried, because the old, weak, women and children of the monsters in the city had been mobilized, and these light cavalry could not attack them, so they returned empty-handed.
It was useless, so Lin Jiang didn't care. He focused on the battle in front of him, especially the sixteen trap camps, which had to work, and how to lure them into those camps would take some effort.
