......................................................
Han Empire, Changhe County, County Shoufu.
Shen Kong, the county guard of Changhe County and the general of Pingxi, was discussing the battle situation with his subordinates at this time.
According to the practice of the Han Empire, all the county guards of the border counties must have the title of general, which is for the convenience of coordination and command. The same is true for Lord Shen Kong, whose official title is: Zhijie, the county guard of Changhe County, and the general of Pingxi.
In Changhe County, Shen Kong's power is very great, and it can be said that he is in charge of the army on the horse and the people on the horse. Of course, with rights come obligations. For example, now, Lord Shen feels that his head is several times bigger than before.
Shen Kong felt that he was too unlucky, and at the same time, he hated those damn rats. These inexhaustible beasts, just at the end of their term of office, came to attack in a big way.
This time, the nezumi came extremely fiercely and had a strong army. From the information detected so far, the size of the nezumi army is at least more than 180,000 people. Judging by the banner, at least seventy tribes participated in the attack.
Although there are no reports of the fall of the city, no less than fifty villages, ten towns, and nearly thirty noble fiefdoms have been conquered by the swarming army of rat people. At least 8,000 people were killed or missing, and some were wounded, adding up to 10,000.
Now Shen Junshou was already anxious when he thought about this casualty figure, not to mention the refugees who numbered more than 100,000. He felt that unless he made great achievements in the future, his career might have come to an end.
The troops in the counties below were limited, and in the face of an attack of this scale, they did not dare to leave the city at all, so they had to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements.
Although there is a standing army under the command of Shen Jun, the number is only 5,000 people. Now this army has to defend the county town and fight fires everywhere, and after a few days of tossing, it has become miserable and exhausted. Now it is no longer possible to attack.
If you meet a county guard who is proficient in military affairs, this incident is undoubtedly a great opportunity to make a contribution. But Shen Kong County Shou is a military white, of course he is not the kind of weak scholar, he still has a few strokes under his hands, and he can get out of fights or something, if it is a heads-up, with his skills as a tenth-level warrior. It's not intimidating.
But this is a war, not a fight! Shen Junshou's personal martial arts are good, although he still has the title of general, but he doesn't know anything about commanding troops.
Now in this complicated situation, he simply does not know how to deal with it. had to let the subordinate generals act on their own, and at the same time ask for help from Yizhou and Zhengxi Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion of the Western Governor came immediately, but now it was only a vanguard army that arrived by airship, with less than 5,000 people, and it could only defend the county seat at present. The large army of the Governor's Mansion had to be prepared, and even if it was by airship, it would take at least two days to arrive.
Shen Junshou asked anxiously: "General Bai, now that Fangyuan County is in an emergency, Jiang Chengbo is also in an emergency, can your army go to the rescue?"
General Bai was the vanguard commander sent by the Governor's Office, a middle-aged officer with an ordinary appearance. At this time, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "The county guard, the last general can't either!" You have also seen my army, but it is only 5,000 people, and they are all lightly armed. How to go to the rescue?"
“...... The one besieging Fangyuan County was the eldest prince of the rat people. He commanded more than 50,000 troops. The one who surrounded Jiang Chengbo was the third prince of the rat people, and there were about 40,000 people. And near the county seat, there is also a seventh prince and eight princes, who are robbing everywhere. They also had more than 40,000 troops under their command. Whether you can break the siege or not, I'm sure that only our army will go out with the front foot, and the seven princes and eight princes or something, the back foot will come to fight the county town, are you sure to defend the county guard?"
General Bai glared at the county guard, and said angrily: "The order given to me by the governor is to keep the county town from losing. Everything will wait for the big army to come over......"
"General Bai, but Zhang Dudu's large army will take at least two days to arrive! They are now running out of ammunition and food, and I am afraid they won't even be able to survive tomorrow!"
But General Bai was not moved at all, he was not a subordinate of Shen Junshou, and although the rank of the county guard was higher, he couldn't control him at all. The military order for him to bite the governor to death was like this, and Shen Junshou had no choice.
........................................................................
While the two were arguing, the county's intelligence officer suddenly ran in.
"Taishou! Taishou!" The intelligence officer looked happy, and as soon as he came in, he shouted: "Tell Taishou, the rat bandits have suddenly retreated!"
"What? Retreated?" Shen Junshou and General Bai, who were arguing, immediately looked at each other.
Almost at the same time, the two asked in unison, "Hurry up and talk in detail!"
"Report, just now the scout flew empty ship sent a report, besieging Fangyuan County and Jiangcheng Bo Ratrong bandits, suddenly all retreated! The two rat bandits who were robbing outside the county town are also retreating in the direction of the border!"
"Retreated? Why?" General Bai would not easily believe it, now was the time when the rat people had the upper hand, how could they suddenly retreat. Does that make no sense?
This is not the kind of small-scale harassment that fights grass valley, and if it is that situation, it is normal to take a handful and walk down. But now it's obviously a large-scale attack, an army of 180,000, it's not a joke. It would be too funny to say that this is also a grass valley.
"I don't know why, but the rat army has indeed retreated......" The intelligence officer obviously didn't know the details, in fact, he was very puzzled now.
General Bai obviously couldn't trust the intelligence forces in the county, and immediately ordered an officer beside him: "Sixth son, you send someone to see, what's going on?"
"Yes, General, I'll send Chang Qilang and them to ...... right away" The officer saluted, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
"Too shou, too shou......" At this time, a staff member hurriedly ran in, holding a document in his hand.
The staff trembled with excitement, and shouted as soon as they came: "Tai Shou...... Great joy! Great joy! Right Zhengyang County reported a great victory! Right Zhengyang County reported a great victory!
"What?, a great victory?" General Bai raised his eyebrows.
"Exactly! A doppelganger of the evil god Aguda was completely annihilated in Youzhengyang County!" said the staff with a smile.
General Bai didn't care about etiquette, so he grabbed the document and read it.
"Hahaha, no wonder. No wonder, it turned out to be like this...... "In less than two seconds, the general burst into laughter.
Shen Junshou also snatched the document and looked at it carefully.
"Hahahaha, well done! Well done! Si Ming Zhenjun manifests! Si Ming Zhenjun is really ...... It's really ......" Shen Junshou trembled with excitement, the series of bad news in front of him had already numbed him, and now there was a big surprise. How could he not be excited.
It is great news to annihilate a doppelganger who is hostile to the true God! And it is not an expulsion, but an extermination, a complete annihilation!
Whether it is a blow to the morale of the enemy or an encouragement to one's own side. That's immeasurable. No, isn't the gray retreat of those rat people a good example?
As for the authenticity of the document, there is no need to worry at all, in addition to the autograph of the prefectural order, there are also the confirmation signatures of the four shrines. Before it was sent, this document had already been discerned by the county's masters and arcanists, and it was definitely not fake. Besides, no one would dare to fake something like this that involves the gods.
Shen Junshou suddenly thought that the holy decree of canonizing His Royal Highness the True Monarch was not exactly what he went to read out?
Shen Junshou secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to hug the thigh of the Great God of Destiny as soon as possible.
..................................................................
Nezumi Army, camp of the Four Princes.
Not to mention what Shen Junshou wanted to do to hug Uncle Si Ming's thigh at this time, the rat army is now panicking up and down.
There is no way, the great god Aguda they believe in today, during the daily routine prayer, suddenly thundered and became angry, and killed more than a dozen priests at once, as well as hundreds of unlucky believers.
"My lord, what's the matter?" the uncle of the fourth prince, Bishop Maurizi, was also frightened and puzzled at this time. The anger of the great god Aguda can be felt even by a fool.
He was leading the priests, praising Aguda desperately in an attempt to calm the boss.
But the priests were trembling, almost tooth-fighting, chanting sycophant prayers, which sounded hilarious rather than flattering. Whoever hears this kind of sycophancy, which is almost crying and accompanied by teeth, can't be happy. However, they can't be blamed for this, because they are all afraid that this boss will come and break out again.
You know, among the pastors who were swallowed up today, there was one lucky person who gave His grace just a few days ago. After this fellow received divine grace. Within a few days, he was swallowed by Boss Aguda.
"Quick, tribute ......" Bishop Mauri hurriedly shouted, and the fourth prince was also shocked and frightened at this time. Hearing this, he hurriedly waved his hand, and a group of soldiers took a group of Han captives to the brazier of the altar.
The fourth prince originally planned to use these Han captives as bargaining chips, but now he can't care about it. If the boss's anger is not quelled as soon as possible, this operation will be completely ruined. It wasn't what he wanted.
Several priests approached and were about to push the captives into the fire pit.
Suddenly, a purple light flashed on the altar, and a huge clay creature descended from the sky, bringing the sacrificial brazier, the prisoners preparing for the sacrifice, the soldiers escorting it, and the priests...... All of them were wrapped in it.
Boss Aguda went berserk again......
