Chapter 706: The Collapse and Reshaping of the Three Views
"The last general Zhang Ren, please see the Duke of Chu!" Under Huang Quan's recommendation, Zhang Ren cupped his fists and saluted Chu Nan, but the face of this famous general in Shu was somewhat unconvinced.
Since the beginning of the Monster Rebellion, Shuzhong has cut off contact with the Central Plains because of the monsters, and its understanding of the Central Plains is still ten years ago.
It was a good thing that the imperial court came to reinforce the army, but he did not believe that the imperial army and horses were much stronger than his soldiers and horses in Shu.
Most generals are somewhat unruly, especially in terms of force. Zhang Ren's marksmanship is known as the best in Shu. He leads the troops in battle. He defeated the Southern Barbarians and suppressed the rebellion. He came from a humble family and achieved his current status through his own efforts.
, naturally you will not easily think that others are better than yourself.
What's more, it's not that there are no Central Plains people in Shu. When Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled, the entire Guanzhong was in turmoil. A large number of people moved to Shu, including some generals or people familiar with the Central Plains. Judging from their statements, both sides
The difference is not obvious.
The reason why he showed respect to Chu Nan was, firstly, that he was a guest from afar, and secondly, he had heard of Chu Nan’s philosophy of governing the country. Regardless of his stance, Zhang Ren admired Chu Nan somewhat, so he expressed his respect to Chu Nan.
He showed respect, but Zhang Ren would not accept the idea that soldiers like him who had experienced hundreds of battles were not as good as those from the Central Plains.
"No need to be polite, is the general here just waiting for you?" Chu Nan nodded, looked at Zhang Ren and asked.
He glanced at the group of Shu lieutenants behind Zhang Ren. Each of them had an unspeakable look of fatigue on their faces, but they also had a bit of perseverance. Their strength may not be as good as that of Chu Nan's elite soldiers, but this force
The iron-blooded force does not lose, and it is a unit with good fighting spirit.
Zhang Ren nodded: "The dangerous passes of Xiongguan can stop human soldiers and horses, but they can't stop these monsters. They climb over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. There are also flying monsters and insects. Although this sword mountain is dangerous, it is not as good as monsters."
It is meaningless, and there is no green energy to protect the city. Even if it is defended for a while, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time. This is also thanks to the Duke of Chu who introduced the art of visualization to Shu. Otherwise, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop the beast.
A charge of the tide.”
If there is no method of visualization, even if you form a military formation, it will be meaningless in front of the beast tide.
At this point, many people in Shu are very grateful to Chu Nan. Of course, some are not so grateful and even laugh at Chu Nan as a fool.
Chu Nan nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a roar. He looked back and saw a huge macaque on the top of Jianshan Mountain, roaring to the sky. At the same time, he kept beating his chest with his fists, making a sound like a war drum.
The rumbling sound.
Those who didn't know better thought it was a gorilla.
"Prepare for war!" Zhang Ren's expression changed and he shouted in a deep voice.
A group of tired-looking Shu lieutenant generals quickly formed a military formation and headed south. However, at the end of the valley road, a large number of wild beasts were running towards this side. Through the vision of the goshawk in the sky, Chu Nan saw a group of monkeys working behind them.
The herds of animals are coming this way.
"There is no need to worry, Mr. Chu. The general and others will fight to the death to protect Mr. Chu and break out!" Zhang Ren took a deep breath, raised his gun and mounted his horse, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Please, Mr. Chu and all the generals, please follow the general to break out!"
Breakout?
The generals looked at the overwhelming tide of beasts, frowned and said nothing, their expressions a little strange.
Lu Lingqi took a step forward and said: "The terrain here is narrow and not suitable for large army formations. It will be up to us to break through this."
"Ma'am, be careful." Chu Nan nodded.
Lu Lingqi didn't say anything more, just waved her hand, and the elite of the Eight Hundred Demon Suppression Department quickly rushed out, passing the Shu army soldiers led by Zhang Ren at extremely fast speed, and formed a formation while running. Lu Lingqi rode her horse and rushed towards them.
At the front, the dim firelight shone along the military formation and enveloped the entire military formation.
"No!" Zhang Ren's expression changed. These people didn't know how powerful the beast tide was. The strongest beasts on the other side were not the beasts driven by the monkeys, but the monkeys.
The next moment, flames were seen rising from the military formation of eight hundred Demon Suppression Department officers, rushing towards the tide of beasts on the opposite side, leaving only charred corpses wherever they passed.
The monkey group that Zhang Ren was most worried about did not play any role. The battle formation wrapped in flames penetrated the entire valley with a very arrogant attitude. Wherever it passed, corpses were everywhere. The extremely powerful monkey group was surrounded by this army.
There was no difference between the animals in front of them and the herds they drove.
Within a quarter of an hour, the valley was quiet. The huge macaque on the top of the mountain seemed to realize that the enemy was a bit tricky this time, and turned around to run away.
In the flame army formation, a fire phoenix soared into the sky and flew directly over the Baizhang Mountains to appear next to the macaque. Seeing that it couldn't run away, the macaque turned around and roared filial piety towards the fire phoenix.
"Boom~"
In the huge explosion, the body of the macaque was torn apart. The fire phoenix swooped back into the formation with the return of the eight hundred demon-suppressing guards. The demon-suppressing guards also returned to Zhang Renjun. The flames gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of the eight hundred demon-suppressing guards.
.
"General, there is no need to panic!" Lu Lingqi looked at Zhang Ren, who was stunned and still maintaining his formation, and said calmly: "The herd has left."
Zhang Ren came back to his senses, ordered the Shu army soldiers like him to disperse, and followed Lu Lingqi back to Chu Nan. Watching Lu Lingqi return to the team, he swallowed and said: "This is..."
Half of his contempt for the Central Plains Army stems from the Demon Suppression Guards. Not to mention how rubbish the troops commanded by a few women are, there is such a troop of soldiers and horses beside the dignified Duke of Chu, and the leader is a beautiful woman. This
It's easy to think of bad places.
However, Lu Lingqi's action instantly defeated all his contempt and dissatisfaction.
This ability can already break the boundaries between men and women. Who says women are inferior to men?
"My wife is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Suppression Guard. The Demon Suppression Office was established ten years ago and is specifically responsible for suppressing monsters. The Demon Suppression Office has played an important role in maintaining peace in the Central Plains these years." Chu Nan explained with a smile.
.
"It turns out to be Madam! I will be disrespectful." Zhang Ren was in awe. Ten years ago, Lu Lingqi had already become famous all over the world, with eight million to one hundred thousand. Although she was a woman, she was also a hero!
Lu Lingqi nodded lightly and didn't say much.
"Let's go." Chu Nan signaled to Zhang Ren. He wanted to go to Chengdu to see what the demonized panda looked like.
"No!" Zhang Ren nodded and felt a little calmer. The Demon Suppression Guards are specifically targeting monsters. Judging from their numbers, they should be the elite troops of the Demon Suppression Department. It is reasonable to be so strong. Other troops cannot be so strong.
However, the death of the macaque seemed to anger the monkeys. After leaving Jianshan, they just arrived at the border of Zitong, in a rather spacious basin area, and saw a large number of monsters swarming towards this direction. It was different from the dense crowds in the valley just now.
This time, the number of monsters is quite large. If you look around, you can't even see the end of it.
Zhang Ren's face darkened slightly when he saw this, why are there so many?
However, Chu Nan killed a large number of monsters along the way, arousing the anger of various groups of monsters. The purpose of these monsters was not Zhang Ren, but Chu Nan.
"Madam, protect Duke Chu to break out of the encirclement, and we will stop here!" Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and said. His mission was to escort Chu Nan to Chengdu safely. Chu Nan must not suffer any losses here.
"My lord, come on." Huang Zhong saluted Chu Nan.
Chu Nan nodded, looked to the side and Xu Huang said: "Arrange in front, don't let the beast tide come in!"
"promise!"
Xu Huang agreed, led the crowd out, and formed a defensive formation in front.
"Mr. Chu, this beast tide is not a trivial matter. Although Madam's demon-suppressing guards are elite, their number is too small. I'm afraid..." Zhang Ren wanted to persuade Chu Nan not to fight with these beasts here, it would be useless.
However, at the next moment, Huang Zhong gave an order, and an arrow formation composed of three thousand archers fell towards the beast tide. Arrow formations fell like meteors one after another. In an instant, the beast tide fell to pieces, and the invulnerable fur was in the air.
The arrow array seemed to have lost its defensive power, and the arrow array's shooting speed was also extremely fast. With the advancing speed of the beast tide, before the opponent rushed forward, it actually fired ten rounds in a row. When the beast tide approached, it was already gone.
It was as dense and terrifying as I had seen before.
Immediately afterwards, the tide of monsters slammed into Xu Huang's defensive formation, just like a monstrous flood hitting a dam. The skulls of many monsters were shattered by the huge recoil force, but the military formation was as stable as a rock.
"Prime Minister, the last general invites you to fight!" Ma Chao looked at Chu Nan with excitement, he needed to vent.
Chu Nan nodded slightly, and Ma Chao immediately led eight hundred Xiliang cavalry to bypass the military formation, rush into the enemy formation, and rampage. In Zhang Ren's stunned eyes, he killed monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, and arrogantly listed among the beasts.
A few lines of blood.
Huang Zhong's arrow array kept falling back. After successive attacks, the beast wave began to retreat. Ma Chao and his eight hundred cavalry rushed out for more than ten miles before stopping the pursuit.
Zhang Ren felt that his outlook on life had been impacted. It was okay for the Demon Suppressing Guard to be strong. After all, the Demon Suppressing Guard was originally a force that specifically targeted monsters. It was understandable that they could be so powerful. However, this 30,000-strong army seemed to be weak every time.
Zhidu has qualities that are not inferior to those of the demon-suppressing guards, which makes Zhang Ren a little hard to accept.
When did the gap between the Shu army and the Central Plains soldiers become so big? It is simply a world of difference.
If the Shu army goes to war with such an army, do those dangerous passes really make sense?
Just a moment later, Zhang Ren already had a definite answer in his mind. Such an army, with three thousand, could kill through Shu! Any dangerous pass is useless, only the green energy of the city can stop it. In the wild
In a fight, the Shu army would be dead.
The arrogance they felt when they first met has now disappeared, and the Shu army is even more suspicious of life. Is it necessary to send them to protect such an army? Who protects whom? Didn’t the soldiers who died fighting for Jianshan die in vain?
!?
Ma Chao came back in high spirits. The depression he had held in his chest for many days was finally relieved. He just looked at Huang Zhong and others. He did not dare to say anything too arrogant and returned to the army silently.
"You are an individual, and you are so powerful that you can still take the blame after being beaten!" Zhu Rong Heipi looked at Ma Chao and said with admiration: "Why don't you come to our tribe to be your son-in-law? From now on, you will be like our Zhurong Cave Master! I will give it to you.
