Chapter 925 Unexpected Cooperation
"sit!"
From the word "sitting", one can easily hear Josiah's forbearance and unwillingness from his tone.
Because being on equal footing means being on equal footing. But in the face of love, no one is more generous than anyone else. If Josiah was an ordinary woman, let alone asking Lan Sha to sit down, he would have urged someone to kick her out, and he would not want her to appear in his sight even for a second.
But unfortunately, Josiah is no ordinary woman, she is the leader of the Gray Army. She had to be responsible for hundreds of thousands of people, so she couldn't drive away the person in front of her who was said to be able to help the Gray Army, even if he was a love rival...
Also knowing Josiah's bottom line, Lansha smiled softly when he heard this, then stopped as he was told, and sat on the tree stump as he was told.
"Let's cooperate."
"Cooperation?" Josiah frowned, "The Gray Army and the Northern Wilderness Tribe?"
"Uh..." For a moment, Lan Sha seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked a little strange, "Do you think I am in love with you..."
After a pause, imagining the scene of love between a dragon and two phoenixes, Lansha couldn't go on talking, and Josiah couldn't listen anymore. She shook her head and changed the subject abruptly: "I think you misunderstood. Although we are with Bran is an enemy, but that doesn't mean we are allies of your Northern Wilderness tribe." "No, you must have misunderstood." Lansha smiled and waved his hand, "It's the Gray Army who cooperated with me... Well, although it sounds a bit Narcissistic, but I do have the qualifications!”
"Bluffing doesn't solve anything."
"So I need you to give me a chance to prove it." Lansha raised his finger with a smile, "To deal with those annoying Bran bow cavalry right now, it's before we cooperate. I'll give you an extra head in advance. How about it?"
"Then."
"After proving my commanding ability, I will take full command of the Gray Army and help you fight against Bran's army. Well, let's set a goal. How about conquering the north of Bran?" Lansha pushed the frame and said casually, like This large area of Bran's northern territory is like a piece of cake on the table in front of you. You have to cut which piece.
Josiah smiled, very handsomely, but also disapprovingly: "I appreciate your confidence. But..."
"It's not that confident." Before Josiah could say anything, Lansha interrupted directly, "Bran's troops in the north are mainly concentrated on the frontline and border, where my troops are watching, and they don't dare to make any small moves. .Although there are many remaining Bran troops, most of them are just reserve troops and miscellaneous soldiers. Do you think that I can lead the army to defeat Bran's regular army, but I cannot lead the troops to defeat Bran's miscellaneous soldiers? Haha, you are not interested in me. Confidence, or no confidence in the combat effectiveness of your Gray Army soldiers?" Josiah paused after hearing this. It was precisely because she knew the combat effectiveness of the Gray Army soldiers that she was comparing it to the vast territory in the north of Bran. Only then did I subconsciously feel that Lan Sha was talking nonsense, but now after hearing this analysis...
After a moment of silence, he still shook his head, "A few days ago, you seemed to have said that it would take at least three years for the Gray Army to develop before they could occupy northern Bran."
Lan Sha was stunned for a moment, then sneered and curled his lips: "Oh, he tells you everything..."
Josiah raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Of course, he is my husband."
Hey, why are you so proud? I don’t believe that that bastard would tell you the truth even if he kissed me and touched me all over my body... Narrowing his eyes, Lan Sha waved his hand: "Yes, I said that. But there is a difference between the two. The difference is that if we continue to fight like you, you will have to rely on luck for three years." After a pause, Lansha pointed at himself, and raised his head proudly, "But if I command the gray army, this period can be greatly shortened. Even, not It takes a year!”
Big talk by those without strength is called arrogance, while big talk by strong people is called accent.
Although Josiah couldn't see the proud look on Lansha's face now, he had to remain silent thinking about the other party's fierce performance in defeating Bran's three main legions in just a few months. meditation.
Immediately, he raised his head and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. What is your purpose in doing this?"
"Purpose..." Lan Sha raised an eyebrow: "Tang En?"
"You're kidding." Joshua looked calm.
"Ha, if you agree, then this is not a joke... Actually, if you think about it carefully, you should agree. Aren't you very nervous about the current situation of the Gray Army? Now the opportunity is right in front of you. As long as you sacrifice yourself, you can It will greatly improve the current situation of the Gray Army and save many soldiers and civilians of the Gray Army... Well, although it seems a bit shameless to say this, but according to the ideal character you have always insisted on, this does not seem to be a difficult decision. "
Josiah couldn't help but pause after hearing this. He had to say that although Lansha's analysis was quite shameless, from the perspective of the ideal that Josiah insisted on, it did have more advantages than disadvantages... Do you only need to sacrifice your own happiness... …
His eyes were confused for a moment, then became clear again in an instant. Joshua took a slight breath and frowned: "Don't try to provoke me, tell me your true purpose."
Lansha spread his hands: "But this is indeed what I want to achieve most now... Haha, for negotiation, of course we have to set out conditions, don't refuse so directly." Looking at Josiah, he picked up the military intelligence at hand again and put it Ming looked like he was seeing off guests, Lansha smiled and shook his head, "How about a purple-bore cannon? I'm quite interested in this thing too."
"It seems that you are not sincere in negotiating this time." Joshua said coldly without raising his head. As the biggest weapon in the Gray Army's hands now, the purple-bore cannon must not be given away. Otherwise, with the material base of the Northern Wilderness tribe, the number of purple-bore cannons could exceed that of the Gray Clothes Army in an instant. Regardless of whether the Gray Army can destroy Bran, I am afraid that the entire Western Ze continent will be ruled by the Northern Wilderness tribe...
"Haha, okay, let's say something sincere." Seeing Josiah's firm attitude, Lansha pushed up the frame of the mirror, smiled and raised his finger, "My purpose is simple, if I help the Gray Army defeat North of Bran, the territory north of Beacon City must be owned by the Northern Wilderness Tribe."
"Fenghuo City?" Josiah didn't have the perverted intelligence of Tang En and Lan Sha. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be startled, thinking about the location of Fenghuo City.
"Yes, it's Fenghuo City, an important military city in the northern hinterland of Bran. Maybe you don't know that history, but..." Lansha curled his lips and sneered a few times, "People in Bran say that my tribe is cruel. It keeps invading Bu. Lan. But in fact, hundreds of years ago, the territory of our Northern Wilderness tribe was bounded by Fenghuo City. Now hundreds of years have passed. The party who said they were invading openly occupied the territory of the so-called invading party, haha, Isn’t that a bit ironic?”
Shaking his head with a sneer, Lansha looked at Josiah, who was frowning in thought, and continued, "Don't think too much, that location is not far from the front line. Judging from the territory in the north of Bran, your Gray Army has occupied it. Big bargain. Of course. This is only on the premise of occupying the northern part of Bran. If the situation is good and we still have the energy to attack the southern part of Bran, the conditions will have to be calculated separately. How about it?"
After pondering for a while, Josiah shook his head: "We didn't take any advantage, because in the actual battle with Bran's army, the casualties were still mine, the gray-coated soldiers. On the other hand, you in the Northern Wilderness can do it without spending a single soldier or food. Get a large territory..."
"Oh, it's pointless if you say that. If you don't say whether my value is comparable to that of a hundred thousand soldiers, just say that without my help. You Gray Army suffered the same casualties, but can you capture the north of Bran?"
This sounds arrogant. But it is obvious that Lan Sha has such arrogant capital.
Joshua was silent, this time he was truly silent, because there were many issues to choose from.
It's not that they are entangled in matters of treason or collusion with other races. Nowadays, the relationship between the Gray Army and Bran has become dire. People in the Gray Army do not regard themselves as Bran people at all. Therefore, naturally there is no concept of treason.
Josiah was debating whether to agree to Lansha's proposal or not. According to Wolf Shang, it seemed that she should seize this hard-won opportunity and cooperate with this powerful foreign aid. But from an emotional point of view, this powerful identity is a love rival. Instead of driving away his love rival or causing trouble for him, he wants to cooperate with him, and he may even have to watch the other person shine in front of him...
I have to say that this kind of psychology is extremely complicated. After agreeing, the love rival became more arrogant and an eyesore. If you agree, to a certain extent, you are admitting that you are not as good as your love rival... If you don't agree, you are joking about the future of the Gray Army and acting out of emotion. If you don't agree, you can't afford to lose...
Of course, in addition to these problems caused by subjective consciousness. There are also some objective problems, such as how to appease Brother Frey and the others if he really agrees...
Well, it can be seen from this that Josiah is still a wolf after all. Although he is very resentful towards Lansha in his heart, his mind has begun to subconsciously consider how to deal with the aftermath after agreeing.
"Chief, leader..."
"Huh?" Joshua looked up unconsciously and looked at the figure standing in front of him saluting. He was stunned for a moment before he recognized Victor, the captain of his personal guard.
"It's time to eat."
"Oh..." Nodding, Josiah took a deep breath, seemed to have decided something, and gave an order, "Sign up the front army and ask General Frey and others to stay where they are and wait for orders. Don't explain too much, just say this I thought of a good idea to deal with the Bran Archers and wanted to try it out so that they can be ready to respond."
"yes!"
Josiah turned his head, looked at Lansha who was smiling, and frowned: "You haven't left yet? Now you should prepare how to prove yourself. There is only one chance!"
"Tsk, the Bran people who crossed the river and burned the bridge are gone..."
…
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, an unknown highland hill.
The location here is considered to be the center of the battlefield today, so after receiving the news, all members of Gray Space rushed over. Except for the monkey who was still lying in the wounded barracks and teasing the little nurse, all members were present. Scattered around, it didn't take long to urgently arrange several well-defined defense lines. Although it seems that there are not many people in general, if Bran's scout team happens to come over, it will be a dead end. And even if a Bran army comes, they can retreat calmly if they can't defeat them.
The prestige of Gray Space today among the Gray Army is something that is absolutely beyond the reach of the second elite. Especially after guarding the safety of Josiah during the battle with the barbarian army, to a certain extent, David and the others were more famous than Tang En back then.
And now that the entire gray space team can be dispatched for tight protection, the people on this hill naturally don’t have to guess anymore...
"...So, just when I went to the latrine, you decided to cooperate?" On the top of the mountain, Tang En looked at Josiah and Lansha in astonishment, and his tone was incredible.
Then his expression sank, and he looked at Josiah seriously, "Wife, are you sure this is the content of the cooperation? Why don't you think about it carefully. Think about whether there are any omissions. I didn't notice." With one finger, his wife heard Addressing Lan Sha, who curled up her lips, "Don't be deceived by her deceitful and weak appearance. She is really cunning. She might be plotting against you..."
"Huh? Yeah -" Lansha became furious when he heard this, and went up to give Tang Enlai a kick. Joshua was still here, so Tang En naturally couldn't mess around with Lansha, so he quickly dodged and jumped away.
On the other hand, Josiah, who was holding his shoulders with his hands, raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You are so confident. Can she solve the Bran Archer and achieve the terms of cooperation?"
Tang En grinned: "I don't know whether she can deal with the Bran Archers, but I know that she once defeated an encirclement and suppression of an army of more than ten thousand rebels with only a dozen people, and even killed the opponent."...
Josiah was stunned when he heard this, but Lansha thought of this and couldn't help but smile and waved his hands: "That time can't be blamed on me. Someone's ability to engrave fake seals is the key to turning the situation around. …”
"Blan Archer Cavalry has appeared." Listening to Lansha and Tang En talking about things they didn't understand, and watching their familiar movements, Josiah subconsciously felt a little irritated and pointed at the scattered things that appeared in the distance. black spots. Ping Sheng interrupted.
Lansha squinted his eyes and could barely see behind those black spots. The corner of his mouth raised, and he instantly understood Josiah's psychology. Instead of teasing, he turned to look at the gray-clothed army behind him who had just entered the wilderness: "Don't worry, wait for the fish to bite the hook and taste some sweetness first, but you can make some preparations first."
After saying this, the three of them turned around. Behind him, more than ten people were lined up in a row. There were layers of bamboo tube-like things piled up at their feet, with a lead wire exposed.
This is one of the tools used by the other world to recruit people, transmit instructions remotely, etc., the signal arrow.
Generally speaking, on the battlefield, the army still prefers to use semaphores more because it can convey a variety of instructions. The most common target of these signal arrows is actually gangs in the city. It is said that a cloud-piercing arrow can bring thousands of troops to meet each other. Of course, this is also uncertain. If it is at night, if it is a surprise attack, the army will still use signal arrows.
Now this obviously large number of signal arrows is an important prop for Lansha to command the Gray Army in this battle... It's a bit troublesome, but it can't be helped. Frey and the others did not know that this battle was commanded by Lansha. They thought that Josiah had some new ideas, so they rarely overstepped their authority and tried it themselves. In this way, they will naturally not resist. But if you knew it was Lan Sha, you would have to spend a lot of time explaining it, and not all officers would be willing to obey the order. It would be easier than directly creating a misunderstanding like now.
"I'm sorry everyone, time is in a hurry, so accidents may happen. I won't call you by name in a while, from left to right. I will directly call out the numbers to represent you. For example, if I call one, then the big brother will light the signal arrow. , thrown into the sky. By analogy, can you understand?"
David, who was pointed at by Lan Sha, first glanced at Tang En, who nodded slightly, and then more than ten people, including David, nodded to indicate understanding.
Lansha nodded with the same satisfaction and muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, after all, the Bran people are much better than the idiots under me."
…
Previously, the gray-clothed army suddenly set up camp temporarily and stayed there for several hours without moving. The location was also in the mountains, so Bran's bow cavalry naturally had no use for it. But now that he was setting off again and stepping into this boundless wilderness, the Bran Archer naturally followed a familiar routine and shamelessly entangled them again.
But this time, with the intervention of a pair of invisible hands, the planned trajectory began to deviate...
"Pursuit?" The ordering officer stood blankly in front of Frey and others. Hearing this order that was completely different from the previous few days, he obviously couldn't react.
Frey laughed at himself when he saw this, and naturally understood what the officer was thinking. He looked straight and repeated the order: "Yes, except for the central army, all the left and right wings will pursue us!"
"yes."
When the doubtful officer took the order and ran out, Frey and the senior generals around him looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a moment, "Tell me, what is the leader's plan this time?"
"I can't figure it out. First, mark the enemy, then let the two armies disperse into several teams to pursue, and finally wait for the signal arrow to give instructions... Is this to completely confuse the battlefield so that we can fish in troubled waters?"
"No, it's not like we haven't tried this method before... The north is vast and mountainous. Take this wilderness as an example. Even if the soldiers spread out hand in hand, they wouldn't be able to fill half of this large open space. It's so huge. The space is simply a perfect racecourse. Every time before our soldiers can complete the encirclement, those bastards will get away first."
"Do you think the leader is dissatisfied with the current advancing speed of the army? She has never interfered with the command of the army before..."
"Don't think blindly. Maybe the leader really has a way? It's not just waiting for the signal arrows to take action. Maybe the leader will personally direct the troops to disperse and successfully lay a dragnet..."
"Ha! You are still a general. Do you think that when you command an army, you should wave the battle flag of your men? I know that the leader understands military command, but the level... Regardless of the level, there are at least a dozen of these scattered troops now. , let you come, can you instantly have an overview of the overall situation, command more than a dozen regional battles at the same time, and also issue precise correction orders in time for various emergencies?"
"Uh, don't be ridiculous, it's useless for everyone...unless the God of War is reborn and is still on our side."
