Chapter 2213: Mutual Honor
The sun slowly rose from the horizon, and a 20,000-strong army arrived at Segona. Including the previous groups, at least 100,000 soldiers had gathered in Segona. These were soldiers recruited from various commanders on the central battlefield. They had only one goal, to invade Peru and wipe out the long-term defeat.
Including these 180,000 soldiers, Su Xiao had 300,000 soldiers under his command. When he reached the full strength of the commander-in-chief, he was indeed a little shivering when he left Shadu with 20,000 soldiers. He could only withdraw after detecting a large number of enemy troops.
In addition to the 300,000 soldiers, there were also supplies, etc. Weapons were not important. The weapons seized from the dwarves were better. All the way down, the accumulated weapons were enough to arm 300,000 soldiers. Armor was very important. In addition to these, there were also a large group of white-horned beasts transporting supplies.
Soon, Segona City became an empty city without even a ghost. That's right, Su Xiao didn't leave even one soldier to guard the city. He wanted to take all his soldiers and rush directly into Peru.
That afternoon, Su Xiao had forgotten how many dwarf legions he had fought with. He beat one and then another. Strangely, the Ram Cavalry Regiment never showed up. Without the Ram Corps, no one could stop Su Xiao. At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Su Xiao captured the first city in Peru, Shenguang City.
When Su Xiao crossed Shenguang City and was about to head towards the "Hammerfall Mountains" in Peru, Shadu finally couldn't sit still, meaning that Su Xiao should stop marching immediately. If he continued to fight, the rear supply troops would not be able to catch up.
After that, something Su Xiao never expected happened. He received three military orders at the same time, asking him to immediately lead his troops to retreat to Shenguang City and return to Shadu to recuperate, on the grounds that Su Xiao was too radical.
The problem is that Su Xiao got a lot of information in Shenguang City. First of all, the idiotic operation of the offender appeared. The saw poison was not dead. Xi, who knew the role of this guy, just beat him up and threw him to the Sand Flame Country.
For the saw poison, he was also desperate. The two hunters of the Samsara Paradise controlled the military power of the two kingdoms respectively. In particular, Su Xiao controlled 300,000 troops. What else could he do except control the power holders?
I thought Su Xiao with 300,000 troops was the most difficult, but I didn't expect that the cavalry regiment led by Lin Jiu, who seemed to be trapped and died in the territory of the Sand Flame Country, was the most ruthless. Starting from Shahe City, several cities were slaughtered in succession.
The Sand Flame Country still doesn't know how the other party broke through the city. The only possible guess is to rely on the blue and white dragon beside him to open a gap and break through the city defense. But the other party slaughtered all the Sand Flame people in the city in succession, which was unexpectedly cruel, even more cruel than their commander-in-chief Kukulin Baiye.
What makes Ju Du even more helpless is that Su Xiao still has the restrictions of Shadu. Su Xiao needs to weigh the pros and cons. If he ignores the order and mobilizes troops, the Tsar will certainly be afraid. Just imagine, how dare a commander who completely ignores military orders continue to dispatch soldiers to Su Xiao.
But since Lin Jiu led the Sheep Cavalry Regiment into the territory of Shayan, he has completely lost contact with the Kingdom of Peru. The Kingdom of Peru may be able to find out Lin Jiu's record, but it can't contact him at all, let alone issue any orders.
What this violator doesn't know is that the current Sheep Cavalry Regiment is completely loyal to Lin Jiu. Even if there are orders from the Kingdom of Peru, Lin Jiu can ignore them directly.
During this period, Su Xiao and Lin Jiu were frantically attacking the city. Lin Jiu could directly attack Shadu, but he didn't do so. He just played and attacked the surrounding cities first. There would be no fight if he killed Shadu. Either Lin Jiu didn't move the mechanical Zerg army and the situation was deadlocked, or Shayan surrendered. No matter which result, Lin Jiu couldn't continue to gain military merits, and naturally couldn't attack Shadu.
Su Xiao is also waiting for news from Shadu. He will definitely react when he sends the goddess back to Shadu. Whether the goddess will get into trouble is a signal. The rulers of Shadu still have the energy to kidnap the goddess. They are not completely controlled by the saw poison, and Fei Shi has not entered this world yet.
Shadu is already a pit in a pit. It seems that it is a pit dug by violators, but it is not. Shadu itself is a sinkhole. Just ask, what will happen if you want to dig a trap on the sinkhole?
Su Xiao did not station troops in Shenguang City in Peru. This is in Peru. It is safer to return to Segona City on the border. Su Xiao led his troops to retreat, and the previously captured area returned to the hands of the King of Peru.
But there is an advantage to this. The next time Su Xiao leads his troops to attack, he can "brush up military merits" in the border area. If he can upgrade the title of [War Lord] to five stars before going deep into the Kingdom of Peru, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers will be improved again.
Well, brushing up military merits is what Lin Jiu is doing now. He has the strength to break through Shadu in one fell swoop, but he still pretends to be powerful but weak, and keeps brushing up the surrounding cities as military merits.
Brushing up military merits is a good thing. That is to say, he did not attack Shadu, and the Sand Flame Kingdom did not think of recalling Su Xiao. Only when both sides are in a balance of power can they brush up military merits on each other. So the current situation is that the Sand Flame Kingdom and the Kingdom of Peru have become tools for Lin Jiu and Su Xiao to brush up military merits.
Siege battles can gain much more military merits than those small battles before. So far, after attacking several cities so close to Shadu, Lin Jiu’s military merits are estimated to exceed Su Xiao. Su Xiao was called off just after taking over Shenguang City, so naturally he could not continue to gain military merits.
In Shahe City, the Sheep Cavalry Regiment under his command was not a mechanical Zerg warrior and needed to rest. After Lin Jiu finished attacking the city and slaughtering the mechanical Zerg, Lin Jiu would lead his army back to Shahe City. He had only so many troops under his command, so naturally he could not occupy multiple cities.
This was also the reason why Lin Jiu carried out a massacre after breaking through the city. In the eyes of the two countries, especially the Shayan Kingdom, although they were extremely angry, it was not surprising at all. Without troops, breaking through the city, there is no way to occupy it, so the best way to weaken it is to massacre the city.
There was another important reason why Su Xiao was called back to Segona City, that is, the commander-in-chief Niposo, who had been behind him to recover those territories, was called back to deal with Lin Jiu's fierce army. It was necessary to wait for another commander-in-chief to take over Niposo's work.
As for why another commander-in-chief was not directly transferred back to deal with Lin Jiu, the reason was very simple, to prevent the generals from colluding. Su Xiao, who was not good at commanding troops, knew that Caesar had secretly provoked the several military guards under him. The high-level officials in Shadu were also afraid that Niposo would see that Su Xiao was too good at fighting. After working together for a long time, the relationship was established, so if there was a chance, he would naturally transfer him back.
On the contrary, because Su Xiao was too fierce in the battle and Lin Jiu was too close to Shadu, he would not call Su Xiao back unless it was a desperate situation. After all, when Su Xiao left Shadu, he felt that they had jointly forced him out, and even forced Su Xiao to issue a military order. Letting Su Xiao lead the army back and approach Shadu would make the Tsar, Carlos, and Uno feel uneasy.
Relying on the mechanical Zerg spies that were almost all over the desert, Lin Jiu learned that the commander-in-chief Niposo was coming back to deal with him, and immediately asked the army to recuperate and prepare for a battle. This was a big fish. Niposo was not only one of the five commanders, but also a demigod. The reward for killing him was definitely very generous.
