Section 27 North Wind (2)

Taking a deep breath, Dege, who was lurking in the woods, gently pushed away the disguised vine net on the branches, secretly used his arms to pull the longbow in his hand to the limit. The iron feather arrows covered with arrow poison that were smeared with arrows and wood, which were buckled by the index finger and middle finger, had been turned back and slowly shrank back. He looked straight indifferently and stared at a line of slowly coming carriages. The soldiers who were walking side by side could tell the big man's guard at a glance. That's right, this was their mission goal this time.

As one of the more than 10,000 archers of the Guerr, Dege felt extremely proud and honored, which was the greatest affirmation of his ability. He had absolute confidence in his archery skills. The longbow made with taumu mixed with steel sheets as the bow back and three strings of bison lapels was enough to make the arrow still have strong lethality beyond 300 steps. However, this alone was not enough to make Dege gain a foothold in the Warm Camp. A series of physical training and various basic martial arts and common sense training made Dege feel unhappy. More than 50 companions who entered the selection circle had various training and assessments, and only eight were left in the Warm Camp, and the rest were eliminated.

The Iron Blood Camp does not only require archers. There are many talented people with various special skills. Those with outstanding light skills pass through walls and walk on flat ground. Those with strong hard skills can break stones and shatters as if they are as good as their palms. Those with outstanding swordsmanship can take the head level within three meters of the flying sword technique. There are countless strange and lewd skills gathered. They can sit in this Iron Blood Camp with one-hand archery skills. In addition to eight companions of this clan, there are also more than ten companions of other clans. They are all qualified sniper archers after special training. This time, twelve archers were dispatched, and there were even many companions with other skills. One step after another, one step after another, obviously, they must win.

They have been hiding in the Duchy of Sulawesi for a week. In order to prevent being noticed, the team members participating in this operation were divided into three groups to scatter and lurk. The powerful activity ability of the intelligence department made Dege once again realize the strong strength of His Highness the King of Qin. During this week, they just need to stay quietly in a house and rest and standby. All intelligence and weapons are provided and arranged by the intelligence department, and they do not need to worry about anything.

According to the assigned tasks, Dege and his companions were responsible for solving the two teams of soldiers on the periphery. Each person had to shoot three arrows within two breaths, and each arrow must be fatal, and there must be no delay, so as to leave enough time for the partners responsible for melee combat to solve the casual warriors next to the carriage. It can be seen that those warriors are different from those of soldiers on the periphery, and they are quite vigilant, and it is not easy to solve them with bows and arrows.

As the first soldier entered the sniper circle, almost at the same time, the arrows flew to the soldier team accurately like rain. The arrows hit the throat. Dege went from bending the bow to slack the strings and then repeating the second action. The whole process was like flowing water without any stagnation. Seeing his two targets falling down in a blank and horrified gaze, Dege finally felt relieved. The first mission was so smooth that Dege even felt a bit playful.

It is impossible not to mention that this attack brought some lucky reasons. If Xiluo could receive the information that had been sent to his mansion at this time, he might have strengthened his defense against himself, but in peacetime, no one would risk the world's ruthlessness to assassinate him. This is Xiluo's opinion, but the matter really happened, and it happened on his way back to his mansion after an argument with the commander of the royal city garrison army.

Until the flash of swords in black came across Silo's throat, he still had no idea who was going to assassinate him, was it Dama, a timid guy? It seemed that he did not have such courage and no need for this, so who else would be there? With this question, Silo's thinking slowly stopped, and finally stopped abruptly. The military marshal of the Duchy of Sulawesi, who had a face full of unwillingness, finally leaned against the wall of the carriage and slowly slid down, and fell heavily in a pool of blood.

The assassin cleverly fled the scene after throwing a piece of object before the guard arrived. However, it was this thing that caused a week-long turmoil and bloody conflict in the entire Yada City.

On October 17, 698, the military marshal of the Sulawesi Duchy, the northernmost end of the Peninsula Alliance, Silo, was assassinated on the way back to his mansion after attending a military meeting at the Grand Duke's Mansion. Thirty-six guards and four personal guards were all killed on the spot. A jade talisman was first-class at the scene, and this jade talisman happened to be a standard official talisman for the intermediate officer of the Royal City Guardian Army. The news spread and immediately triggered a huge political crisis. The 10,000 defense troops stationed outside Yada City immediately underwent a mutiny. The mutiny leader asked the Grand Duke to transfer the murderer of the garrison, and pointed the finger at General Dama, the nephew of the Grand Duke, the commander of the Royal City Guardian Army.

The two sides soon had a clash in Yada City and became increasingly fierce. From the beginning, some of the defense forces participated and the entire defense forces joined in. However, the royal city garrison was an elite defender in the royal city. His combat effectiveness was stronger than the defense forces, but he was at a disadvantage in number. On the third day, large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides, while the two thousand mercenaries stationed in the city could only watch the development of the war. The Principality of Sulawesi, who had lost the military commander, fell into chaos, and even the Grand Duke himself could not control the situation.

The chaos in the Principality of Sulawesi also caused uneasiness among other countries of the Peninsula Alliance, but this is an internal problem within the Principality. According to the friendly and mutual assistance agreement signed by various countries, the alliance countries shall not interfere in various internal political issues. Therefore, even though the civil war in the Principality of Sulawesi has begun, other countries did not realize the strangeness. In addition to calling on both sides to maintain restraint, the rest of the other can be done is to send diplomatic envoys to reconcile the conflict between the two sides.

When their diplomatic envoy arrived at the city of Jacques, the Gaoyue soldiers who appeared at the foot of the Great Hengduan Mountains in the western part of the Principal of Sulawesi made them realize and understand. At first they thought that the Gaoyue militia took the opportunity to cause trouble and did not pay much attention. It was not until the tips came back that a large number of regular soldiers were mixed together, the countries in the eastern Peninsula Alliance, including the Principal of Sulawesi, truly woke up. At this time, the two sides of the civil war had already fought in the city of Jacques.

When the Sulawesi army, which had been hastily ended the civil war and reassembled, rushed to the west, the Third Division of the First Legion led by Yamao had already rested calmly for a day before advancing east along the edge of the dense forest area, and quickly controlled two small towns on the southern edge of the dense forest area, laying a good foundation for the Fourth Legion to march south out of the dense forest area.

The Duchy of Sulawesi, who noticed the enemy's intentions, had to push Dama, the commander of the royal city garrison army, who was not convinced, to the position of commander. The commander, who had no combat experience, could not think of any way in the face of the Third Division, which was guarding the spotlight, could only hesitate to wander thirty miles away from the Third Division's headquarters, which made Shanyao very glad. However, this situation did not last long. He sensitively realized that the Peninsula Alliance countries from the north had sent large and dangerous peninsula alliances to the first time to aid the north. The first 20,000 troops of the Duchy of Medan advanced northwards and rushed to the edge of the dense forest area in just five days. He immediately joined the Duchy of Sulawesi's army to start the first battle of the southern expedition of the Western Frontier.

The coalition forces of the two countries did not have any special methods when facing the Shanyao Division, which was dominated by Gao Yue's soldiers. Several consecutive small contacts did not cause much waves. It was not until the seventh day that the first substantial battle broke out after the 10,000 troops and 5,000 mercenaries of the city-state arrived.

The Indochina Peninsula lacks enough fast cavalry. It seems that except for the Machikhans who have a powerful cavalry unit, the cavalry in the entire south seem a bit insignificant. The short and powerful ponies with strong endurance but insufficient speed do not seem to have the imposing momentum of northern cavalry. However, the specialty elephants in the south, especially the Indochina Peninsula, seem to be used to make up for the shortcomings of cavalry.

However, the slow march speed of the elephant soldiers is unbearable. Although the ponies cannot be used as horses for cavalry, they are quite useful for pulling carts and trailers. When the Legon army had already arrived at the front line, the Medan elephant soldiers had just entered Sulawesi, which destined that this time the elephant soldiers could only enter the battlefield as bystanders.

The first substantial battle broke out at dusk. Twenty thousand coalitions and five thousand mercenaries entered this frontal offensive battle. The battle started in the wilderness east of the town. Shan Yao did not invest the entire division. He wanted to resist and deliberately retained the main force of the two regiments. Gao Yue militia, who formed a corps, joined the regular army of three regiments, entered the frontal battlefield. The war did not go smoothly, at least before Shan Yao entered the reserve. The fierce battle in the wilderness of the two armies lacked effective breakthroughs in the enemy's positions because neither cavalry nor cavalry.
