In the east of the Sima Empire, there was a "Gaoxi Town", a border defense center close to the Bian Kingdom. The atmosphere was tense here, and 200,000 troops had gathered here, including 100,000 elite troops. Even on the sea not far away, there were several more ordinary warships purchased from the Shang Dynasty.

On land, there are even armored vehicles, a large number of artillery, etc. As for soldiers, they all have a gun. They are also equipped with sharp steel knives. At high altitude, there are also aircraft patrols.

Such a dress may not be comparable to that of the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty, but in general countries, it is already at the upper level. Even if it is the dress of a soldier from the Bian Kingdom in the north, that's it.

However, in the north of Gaoxi Town, the opposite is one of the ten kings of Bian State, Luo Xing, the governor of Zhenwu, and Luo Xing. This Luo Xing may be at the bottom among the ten kings. The north is the eastern capital, and the north of the west is the southern capital. The development potential is not very great, but that is only relative.

Now, Zhongdu, Nandu, and Zhenwu Jiedu will jointly send troops, claiming to be a million, and they will head straight to Gaoxi Town.

In a satellite city next to Gaoxi Town, Jiang Yunshan led his 10,000 troops, waiting nervously. Jiang Yunshan was once a local general of the Yuan Kingdom and later surrendered to the Sima Empire.

Next to him, Deputy General Wang Keshan was mobilizing loudly: "Soldiers, hold the guns in their hands and hold the knife at their waists. As long as you see the enemy, kill me.

Remember, they are our enemies! Think about it, if you are defeated, will the enemy be kind? Will they give you food and drink? Will they take good care of your parents, wives, and children?

No! They absolutely won’t! They will trample on our homes and destroy everything!

So, be angry, only killing can prevent the tragedy from happening!"

"Kill an enemy and reward one or two silver! Kill an enemy and reward one or two gold. Kill a centurion and reward ten taels of gold. Kill an officer in a team of thousands of people, reward two hundred taels of gold. If you can kill a team of ten thousand, reward five hundred taels of gold!

For each team of thousands of people to be wiped out, all personnel will be rewarded with one or two taels of gold. If annihilate a ten thousand people, a reward of 50 taels of gold will be rewarded with 50 taels of gold!

If you die, you will compensate 10 taels of gold.

All the above rewards can be stacked!"

"Every two gold reward is considered a military merit. After the war, we will reward different land and houses according to military merits, and exempt corresponding taxes. Those with high military merits can even rise to prominence and become generals and generals. It is no problem to have a wife and a son!"

Over and over again, Wang Keshan is well aware of the inspiration strategies of soldiers. For these rough people, those who cannot speak in a literary way should be simple and direct.

Then, boxes of gold and silver were lifted up, and the boxes were thrown to the ground, and gold and silver spilled on the ground.

In addition, there are even some spiritual medicines, some bone meal, low-level elixirs, etc. purchased from Shang Dynasty.

Anger and greed aroused the morale of the soldiers to the peak, and they all blushed and wished they could rush out of the city wall now and kill the enemy on the spot.

At the height of the satellite city, Jiang Yunshan was looking down at the surrounding environment. Although he already knew the surrounding environment, the popularity of arms and even the sudden outbreak made Jiang Yunshan feel unsure.

From the height of this satellite city, you can even see warships traversing on the sea in the distance. It is said that the artillery on the warship can even hit Gaoxi Town. This is at least forty miles, not twenty kilometers away!

With the popularity of arms, standard units from the Shang Dynasty were also popularizing. The reason for this is that many technologies use standard units and are very convenient to apply - just change the concept of the unit.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Jiang Yunshan repeatedly calculated:

The Huangshi River in front is 500 to 800 meters wide, and in the past it was a good terrain; it is probably not possible at the moment, because guns and cannons can easily exceed this distance. Therefore, the defense here must be cautious and cannot follow the standards of the past.

Wanghai Cliff to the east is provided with warships to help protect, but if there is ammunition cover, it will become a weakness here. Although Wanghai Cliff is a little steeper, it is also chaotic rocks, which is conducive to ambushing. A little terrain problem is not a big problem for soldiers above the sixth floor of the Qi Refining Period.

The most serious thing is the Hejian Valley ahead. The terrain here is flat and has always been the main combat venue. But now the opponent has artillery, and the situation is not very good. Should we take the initiative to attack? Ambush halfway?

The more he thought, the more uneasy Jiang Yunshan felt. After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yunshan suddenly realized that the emergence of arms led to the strategy of "defending the city" that had almost become a decision to "fall into death". The simple protective formation on the city could not stop a few shells at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yunshan immediately ordered, "The whole army, whose cultivation is above the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period, leave the city with me and we go to the wilderness to fight. We are familiar with every grass and tree here, and this is our advantage.

Our purpose this time is not to defend, but to kill the enemy. So, enter the mountain area and fight mobile!

The rest, the city defense mainly focuses on artillery and long-range attacks; once the enemy approaches, they will immediately go into the mountains and hide."

Jiang Yunshan sent a report to his superiors. Without waiting for his superiors to give back, he immediately led most of the elite soldiers out of the pass. The soldiers were very fast, so Jiang Yunshan still knew what to do.

At the same time, several small mobile artillery were taken away, a large number of shells, etc. As for the main artillery still left on the fortress, not a single person in the satellite city was missing.

Fortunately, the Sima Empire was established shortly after all, and the country was not corrupt. The generals agreed with Jiang Yunshan's decision and conveyed this strategy to the generals.

Almost just shortly after Jiang Yunshan's army left the city, the planes at high altitude received a reconnaissance information - in the north, a huge army was found coming!

"Here you come!" Jiang Yunshan's eyes glared, and a little bit of undulating black lines could be seen in the distance.

Almost at the same time, behind Jiang Yunshan, on the border fortress, artillery began to spit fire, and warships on the sea were also roaring.

But in just a moment, sparks exploded behind Jiang Yunshan, which was an attack from the Bian army in the north. In an instant, the war broke out like this, and it entered the most tragic link from the beginning.

There were sharp sounds everywhere in the sky, which were the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air; but there was a roar on the ground. The war situation had long changed. Although arms could not replace the traditional war of cultivating masters, arms had completely changed the war between ordinary soldiers.

Jiang Yunshan led his elite soldiers, about 3,000 people, quietly hiding and watching quietly.

Jiang Yunshan saw that several levels that were once considered to block the enemy's footsteps had no effect at all. With the cannon bombing, the soldiers on the level collapsed. Then, a master from Bian State immediately came out and used magic to assume temporary passages, a large number of soldiers, vehicles, etc. to advance quickly.

During the entire war, the soldiers of the Sima Empire performed remarkable; however, the soldiers from Bian State were completely crazy. The most important thing was that the soldiers of the Bian State understood war better.

They were in groups of three or five, completely dispersing, bowing their waists, and advancing rapidly. There were also a large number of planes in the sky.

The artillery in the rear was covered by artillery, and the masters followed, and millions of troops advanced like waves. More artillery and more aircraft than the Sima Empire started a charge in the posture of a destruction.

Looking at others and then looking at the three thousand soldiers on his side, my heart was sweating coldly. However, thinking about Wang Keshan's previous inspirational words, even Jiang Yunshan had to grit his teeth and prepare to fight to the death.

Seeing the enemy army approaching, Jiang Yunshan took a deep breath and said, "Battle!"

The artillery that had been prepared for a long time began to explode, and machine guns and other machines immediately fired. In front, the unprepared soldiers of Bian State fell down instantly. However, the military qualities of the soldiers of Bian State were terrifying. In just a few breaths, they made preparations.

Immediately, soldiers used simple spells to form defensive bullets such as earth walls and stone walls. At the same time, everyone began to disperse and strengthen their own defense.

Next to it, several elite teams led by the Jindan stage came over.

The entire military operation was smooth and flowing without any stagnation. There was no need for general command at all, and the soldiers knew what to do. This kind of military quality made Jiang Yunshan jump straight into his eyebrows.

Seeing that there were ten elite teams, covering each other from ten directions, Jiang Yunshan immediately ordered, "Retreat! Take advantage of the advantages of our familiar terrain here to drag down the enemy. Stay artillery here."

Three thousand soldiers retreated quietly like flowing water, with only some artillery and shells left here.

Only Jiang Yunshan led a few elite troops to continue fighting here, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

The artillery roared, and the elites of Bian Kingdom still paid a certain price. When these elites were about to arrive at the position, Jiang Yunshan retreated violently, swept the gun at the cannonballs that had been set off.

A violent explosion occurred, and the first batch of Bian soldiers rushing over were blown up; however, the Bian soldiers behind him did not stop at all, as if they had not seen their companions at all. They rushed over as the bomb exploded.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunshan's pupils shrank sharply. The soldiers of Bian State were indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, Jiang Yunshan was familiar with the terrain here, so before the other party rushed over, Jiang Yunshan slipped away.

However, things are not that simple. Bian's soldiers used reality to tell Jiang Yunshan what it means to never die! At the foot of the mountain, five elite soldiers came out again, leading the team all the Jindan stage, rushed from the foot of the mountain and quickly pressed towards Jiang Yunshan's soldiers.

Jiang Yunshan and three thousand people fought and retreated, but they could not stop the attack of Bian Guo. The fewer and fewer soldiers around him fought, and Jiang Yunshan almost got cut by the flying sword. Fortunately, he was evasive in time and only cut a wound on his face, which was not very deep.

After retreating for more than ten kilometers, crossing four hills and six river valleys, Jiang Yunshan would not have escaped the pursuit of the soldiers of Bian State. If it weren't for the familiarity with the terrain, Jiang Yunshan would have explained it long ago. But even so, there are less than a thousand soldiers around Jiang Yunshan at present, and they are all tired and frightened!

The soldiers on Jiang Yunshan's side are also elite soldiers, but compared with the elite soldiers of Bian, they are completely different from the same level.

If you have to describe the soldiers of Bian State, there is only one word - ruthless! Too cruel, being cruel to the enemy, and even more ruthless to yourself. When a comrades fell down, they didn't even blink; as long as they saw the target, they could rush forward with bullets.

Finally, Jiang Yunshan retreated to the edge of Gaoxi Town and finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit. The remaining more than 500 people climbed up the city wall along the rope, and finally took a breath. Many soldiers even lay on the ground and started crying.

The cruelty of the war far exceeded the imagination of these soldiers; and the performance of the soldiers of the Bian State made the surviving soldiers even more frightened and even collapsed.

But even more collapsed...

The war lasted for three days after that. With the local advantages and short-term stimulation, the Sima Empire actually blocked the attack from Bian State. Jiang Yunshan bravely killed the enemy, but his left arm was almost shoulder-length, and he was sneak attacked by a Nascent Soul master with a flying sword.

However, without waiting for the many soldiers to be glad, a shocking news came - Sima Empire surrendered! Surrendered to Bian State! At the same time, Sima Xuan will become the eleventh "king" in Bian State.

This was really earth-shaking news. When Jiang Yunshan held his broken arm, curled up in the corner of the wall, trembling in pain, he heard the news. For a moment, Jiang Yunshan was stunned and even forgot about the pain on his body.

Is it disappointment? Or despair? Perhaps, there is no word to express Jiang Yunshan’s current mood.

The upper class promised too many things, and he and others fought hard on the front line, and even took advantage of the conflicts and conflicts between the kings in Bian, etc. to temporarily block the attack of Bian.

However, I never expected that what I and others fought so bravely would have such a cruel ending.

As a general, Jiang Yunshan is not a fool. He understood what tricks the upper class was playing in just a moment! He just asked the soldiers to fight hard first, show their own (high-level) value, and surrender decisively when the value is highest!

Therefore, the Sima Empire became part of the Bian State, and became the eleventh separatist regime of the Bian State and the Customs Alliance; and Sima Xuan also became the eleventh king of the Bian State!

Later, there were officials who came to pass the imperial edict, saying that they were all over the place, saying that they were exempt from war, and everyone's hard work gained peace in the country. Then they guaranteed rewards, etc.

But Jiang Yunshan no longer wanted to hear it. He struggled to stand up from the corner, leaned weakly against the city wall, and looked at the army of Bian with flags waving in the distance, and for a moment he was spinning, not knowing where he was.

However, there are still a few generals like Jiang Yunshan; although most generals were shocked at first, they were still happy after hearing the reward, after the war, and after hearing the successful defense of their homes.

Many generals can understand that since they were able to surrender to the Sima Empire before, and now they surrender to the Bian Kingdom, what's wrong?

Besides, it is not a real surrender, it should be an integration into the Bian State; we are not a loser, but an equal status.
