Otherworld Qin

468 Chapter 493 4
Shengxuan has asked himself more than one question about God, but it seems that this question will never be answered. Seeing Ferdinand, a believer in the God of Light, showing confusion in front of his question, it is obvious that the world doubts God. Whether it exists is not the only one, I am afraid that those superficially devout believers also have this question hidden in their hearts.

This was just a small episode, but the army continued to advance steadily, and soon came to the Principality of Nicholas King. After entering the Principality for less than a day, they saw a dilapidated scene. Several consecutive small towns were empty. The towns that have been baptized by the flames of war are left in a particularly bleak way.

Even so, from the ruined walls, one can still see the prosperity of the principality. Even the houses of ordinary people are built of bricks and stones with exquisite patterns.And some rich people's houses were built magnificently, but this is just the past, but now they are in ruins like the houses of ordinary people.

Shengxuan walked in the deserted town, all he saw was rubble, the only house that was still in good condition, but only a small half remained, the rest had been burned down by the fire, on the broken wall that had been burned by the fire , and the mottled murals can be discerned vaguely, it should be a story about the God of Light, and here should be a temple church, such a small town has a church of this size, it seems that the people here are more devout, but they can’t replace it. They resist fire and fire.

From the previous life to the present, Shengxuan, who is used to wars, can't help but feel sorry for this small town. The originally peaceful and prosperous life was destroyed by the flames of war. The people who suffered from military disasters and man-made disasters have always been the common people. Their lost lives and destroyed Wealth is so innocent, but perhaps it is only the weak who are powerless to resist, but the so-called strong who really impose all this on the people are never tired of it, because it can satisfy their desires.

Suddenly, Sheng Xuan had some new ideas about the previous question about gods. The so-called gods are nothing more than people who make rules, so should the kings of this world also become gods?Of course not, but the full power they have allows them to live a life like a god, and they can kill the rebels. What could be more tempting than this?
The army did not stop for a while because of this small town that was destroyed by the war. More than 10 troops, lined up for more than ten miles, walked on the road of the Principality of Nicholas, even if they were moving slowly, rolled up. The dust can be seen from more than ten miles away, but the discipline of this team is very strict. Even if there are [-] people marching, no one will speak casually, let alone leave the team without permission to disturb the public.

This made Shengxuan look at this little Ferdinand with admiration. He didn't expect that this weak-looking guy with a stomach full of schemes was quite good at running an army. Then he was relieved. A person who is good at playing power is the one who knows best. With people's hearts, and with a strong economic backing, it couldn't be easier to recover these rude sergeants.

But it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. Although money can solve the equipment of soldiers, it cannot buy military discipline. To be able to gather 20 people together and listen to their own orders, this requires the talent of a commander.

Although he felt a little more admirable, Sheng Xuan still didn't like this person, but at this moment, Ferdinand suddenly stopped the army's footsteps.

"What happened? Why did you stop the army?" Sheng Xuan couldn't help but urged Ta Xue to take two steps to the front and asked.

"Just got the news that the rebel army knew that our King Qin's army was coming, and set up an ambush early on the road. This is a mountainous area. Although the mountain is not too steep, it is densely forested. If you advance rashly, you will be ambushed, so we Tell the army to stop first, and just want to ask Mr. what kind of tricks he has."

"I don't know what's the opinion of the Grand Duke's army?" "Our army is divided into two factions, which is why I stopped hesitantly. One faction advocates war. My 20 army marched thousands of miles, isn't it just to suppress the rebellion of King Qin Now that the enemy army is actively setting up an ambush to block the road, this shows that they are guilty and afraid that our army will reinforce them. If they can defeat this ambush at this time, it will definitely boost the morale of our army and defeat the arrogance of the rebel army."

"The other faction advocates a detour, but this detour will delay at least five days. I'm afraid the king will have a mistake by then, and we will become eternal sinners."

After hearing these words, Shengxuan couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, I want to ask the Grand Duke, if we don't come, who else is willing to send troops to serve the king? What will happen if no one sends troops to reinforce the king's capital?" ?”

"This,,,,,," Ferdinand looked at Shengxuan, although the other party's words made him feel a little disgusted, but it was true, "Sir, please tell me your opinion."

"In my opinion, we need to fight." Before Shengxuan finished speaking, Ferdinand immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, that's exactly what I mean. With our 30 army and the determination to put an end to the chaos, it's nothing A rebel ambush is trying to block our way,,,,,,"

"Does the Grand Duke know how many troops the opponent has? How many large defensive equipments does the opponent have? Has the opponent set up traps? To start a war rashly without knowing anything is to make fun of the lives of soldiers. It's okay if this battle is won. So what if we lose? So we can’t fight rashly when we don’t know anything.”

He just said that he wanted to fight, but now he said many reasons why he couldn't fight. Ferdinand couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

A general of the Principality of Ferdinand next to him said displeasedly: "If you lose before the war starts, hum, you are discouraged! After all, you have come up with a good idea? You can only talk nonsense, if you know everything about us Why are you waiting here? I rushed in to kill those bastards. I didn’t know you were an idiot. You can only say harmless things, but you still have to ask what you are doing? It’s just adding to the bad luck!"

Hearing this, Sheng Xuan didn't get angry. He knew that these generals who had been in the barracks for a long time were straight-hearted, and they could say whatever they wanted, which was better than those politicians going around and making people guess.

It is precisely because of these few words that Sheng Xuan actually has a good impression of this general. From these words, it is not difficult to see that this person is a willful person. In the opinion of the general, how should we fight?"

"The woods are not suitable for cavalry. Of course, the heavy shields are the first, followed by the spearmen, the archers are on the two wings, and the cavalry is the rear." The general seemed very confident, and he couldn't help adding: "Give me [-], no, With [-] elite soldiers, I can let everyone pass through the woods before dark."

"Hehe." After hearing this, Sheng Xuan couldn't help laughing, leaned over and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and threw it out casually. The wind just blew the sand onto the general's face, and the other party couldn't help being furious, and wanted to pull it out. sword.

"You,,,,,," before he could utter the swear words, he was stopped by Grand Duke Ferdinand: "Presumptuous! Get back!" Then he asked Sheng Xuan: "Mr. You said that you can't fight, but I was confused by what you said, so what is the final opinion of the master? The sand just now was not just to humiliate my general."

Although the words are still very polite, but they no longer have the previous respect, but Shengxuan doesn't care about these things. Originally, he didn't have any friendship with this Archduke Ferdinand. How the other party thinks about him is his business. Dry?

"I just asked everyone to take a look at the direction of the wind." "Wind direction? The more you talk about it, the more irrelevant it is. Now it's about war, and it's about the wind direction and birds? Besides, the breeze can't even blow three feet away from your mouth. How much impact?" The general just now was obviously still angry about what happened just now, and he couldn't help muttering in dissatisfaction.

"Then I want to ask you, how long has it been since it rained?" "Are you going to farm? You should ask an astrologer if it's raining, or catch a local citizen. You ask me what I do, I can only kill people, but not farm!"

After the general finished speaking, the people around couldn't help laughing, obviously everyone was amused by Sheng Xuan's words.But Cheng Xuan unhurriedly broke off a piece of wood from a carriage next to him, and then a little magic fire fell, instantly igniting the piece of wood.

"Fire!" Seeing this scene, someone immediately screamed, but Archduke Ferdinand obviously didn't understand what it meant, so he quietly asked his followers, and then couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, sir! It's Dongfeng now, There has been no rainfall for months, and when the sky is dry and things are dry, if we enter the woods, we are afraid that the other party will destroy most of us with a fire. It seems that the master is really thoughtful."

"It doesn't mean you're tall, it's just that you know a little better than the farmers." Sheng Xuan deliberately teased the general just now, and couldn't help laughing.But it can also be seen from this that although the principality's army has strict discipline and well-trained training, these generals are all people who talk about soldiers on paper and have never been in a real battle. They can't remember some common sense of marching for a while.

"Entering the forest cautiously, crossing the water quickly, these are the experiences summed up by the ancient generals, I just happened to read it." Sheng Xuan explained casually, so as to give the general a step, after all, the two sides will cooperate in the future , if you offend these generals because of this, I'm afraid it won't do any good.

"My opinion is that we should take a rest here first. The army has been exhausted from traveling for days. It is naturally not wise to use this exhausted army to attack the entrenched enemy. We might as well slow down and let the soldiers recover their strength, and let the soldiers recover." The other party should be anxious for a while."

What he said made Ferdinand nod repeatedly, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what's next? What should we do?" Sheng Xuan didn't answer, but looked up at the sky, and then asked: "What is the Duchy of Nicholas usually this season?" wind direction?"

"What direction is the wind?" Ferdinand obviously didn't know, so he asked his companions.Someone hurriedly answered behind him: "Usually the east wind will turn to the southeast wind until early summer, and the southeast wind will bring a lot of rainfall, but this year's season will be later, so,,,,,,"

"Okay!" Shengxuan didn't care about the weather in the Principality of Nicholas, because with his elemental summoner and old Louis, the great ice magician, by his side, he could tell whether it would rain today or not. Said it was well known.

"Look at the cloud in the sky. I think the wind will turn to the southeast at night, but it won't rain, so it will be convenient for us to move. Okay, everyone hurry up and rest. We will set off in two hours." Sheng Xuan turned around and planned to leave.

Ferdinand hurriedly stopped him: "Sir, you haven't finished speaking, why are you leaving?" "We don't know anything about the enemy's situation now, and what we say is useless. I'll arrange for someone to check it out. I will give you a satisfactory answer in a few hours."

"It just so happens that it's time for dinner, why don't you go back after eating here after being wronged." Ferdinand waved his hand back, and the accompanying chef had already served the hot barbecue.

Sheng Xuan shook his head, and thought to himself: "After all, he is a nobleman, even when he goes out to fight, he has to bring a chef with him." He himself eats and lives with the soldiers, and he is no exception to what the soldiers eat. The only exception in the orc army is the old man. Louis, it's just an extra bowl of minced broth for every meal.

"Don't worry about it. I think our army has already prepared meals. It just so happens that we can arrange investigations by the way. The Grand Duke will take his leave first, and wait for my news!" Sheng Xuan specially asked, just because Fei Di Nan's generals couldn't hold back and acted without authorization.

When Ferdinand saw Shengxuan's rebuff, he didn't force him to stay, and he politely sent him two steps before going to have dinner with those high-ranking generals. Regarding this scene, Shengxuan felt a little regretful, not because of those delicacies, but because of his heartache 20 soldiers of the Principality of Ferdinand.

A general who cannot get along with his soldiers will always be a high-ranking dictator. Although the soldiers will obey, they may not be willing in their hearts. In this way, an army that appears to have strict military discipline on the surface will collapse in an instant if it encounters danger. , especially in the face of the enemy's reckless and hasty decision-making, which may throw soldiers to death at any time, following such generals on the expedition, I am afraid that their hope of survival is worrying.

Suddenly a bit broken, I couldn't find the feeling, I forced myself to write a chapter, but it was always unsatisfactory, so I didn't update it for a long time, I apologize in advance.
