Chapter 1357 The Reason for the Existence of the Crane Army
"No problem, it's a deal." Lin Mei immediately said generously, "But not now, Taotie may launch another attack at any time."
"Of course." Jiang Yanhai nodded with a smile.
Lin Mei's face was already smudged a lot. Obviously, she didn't have time to tidy up her clothes, so she came over directly. The armor on her body was still covered with red and green blood.
"Then... I'll go back and tidy up first, see you later." Lin Mei greeted.
"OK."
More than half an hour later, the two got together again on the Great Wall.
"What are you going to do with those two Westerners?" Jiang Yanhai asked.
"Shao Dianshuai means that they are also a considerable combat force. Although the Shadowless Forbidden Army is very elite, it is the first time we have fought against Taotie, and our previous training has not shown much. If we want to face Taotie successfully, we will have no choice. The Forbidden Shadow Army needs to grow, and now we need heroes, they can." Lin Mei glanced at Jiang Yanhai and said.
Jiang Yanhai nodded. In the era of cold weapons warfare, why there are generals is because strong generals can boost morale and inspire soldiers, and these generals must have extraordinary skills.
Otherwise, it would definitely not work. These two Westerners obviously possessed such skills, and Jiang Yanhai could understand it.
Although the Shadowless Forbidden Army looks very powerful, in fact they have basically never fought, because their mission is to fight against Taotie, their country... oh, their country name in this world is also Song.
Because the Song Kingdom fought against other countries, it would never mobilize the Shadowless Forbidden Army.
They are all guarding here in the era, but the Song Kingdom in this world is obviously better than the Great Song Dynasty on the earth. Although there are still nomads and Khitan people on the grassland, there is no Xixia, no Jin, and no Liao, not to mention Mongolia.
I don’t know if it’s because of the existence of Taotie, because Jiang Yanhai has read the information in their history books before. Once, Taotie harmed the entire northern part of the Song Dynasty. .
Therefore, these nomads have obviously been harmed by gluttony. Whether it is the Khitan or other nomads, the tribes are sparse, not even a big tribe, let alone a country.
This is why Jiang Yanhai told Lin Mei before that the world is big and there are enough places.
The number of these nomads is very small, so the vast land in the north is left to Jiang Yanhai and the others to operate.
So, in fact, it doesn't matter if you can intervene in the war between Song State and Taotie. The reason why you want to participate is to find out whether there is a star gate behind Taotie. If it is a star gate, Jiang Yanhai still wants to close this star gate. Woolen cloth.
This is the key. As for the land of the Song Kingdom, Jiang Yanhai and the others are really not rare.
At present, there are too many uninhabited lands in this world, and there is no way to occupy them all.
For example, it doesn't matter if Maozi's territory in the north directly becomes the Great Qin Empire. With the number of Maozi in this period, they are powerless to make any resistance.
Therefore, the Shadowless Forbidden Army looked elite and well-trained, but the last time Taotie attacked was sixty years ago, and none of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, including Shao Dianshuai, had ever fought against Taotie. They all relied on records and trained Yes, there must be a lot of training that cannot be targeted.
If Taotie attacks once every two or three years, and then the Shadowless Forbidden Army can survive until today, Jiang Yanhai can guarantee that in today's situation, those Taotie can't even climb the city wall, but they can attack once every year or two. The Shadowless Forbidden Army that has survived to this day can be said to be an invincible army in the cold weapon era, but it is not true.
So Jiang Yanhai could understand Shao Dianshuai's choice.
"You...are you not angry?" Lin Mei couldn't help asking, seeing Jiang Yanhai's calm expression.
"Why should I be angry?" Jiang Yanhai was a little surprised.
"Obviously you are the one who killed the most." Lin Mei couldn't help but said.
"I didn't come here to be a hero." Jiang Yanhai interrupted Lin Mei, "If you don't need me and can completely eliminate Taotie, that's even better."
"Okay. You are really... different." Lin Mei couldn't help but add.
"Aren't you the same?" Jiang Yanhai said with a smile.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Mei looked at Jiang Yanhai strangely.
"You don't know why the Crane Army exists, do you?" Jiang Yanhai raised his eyebrows.
Lin Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she raised her head and glanced at Jiang Yanhai, she was silent for a moment before she said seriously: "This is also our own choice, but are you sure you really understand? "
Lin Mei obviously didn't quite believe this.
"Although it's a bit disrespectful to say so, it's actually not difficult to guess. First, the existence of the Crane Army is also to balance and release the pressure of other armies. Many women in the Crane Army and men from other armies They are both husband and wife." Jiang Yanhai glanced at Lin Mei.
Lin Mei was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes, there is nothing disrespectful, everyone knows this, and you don't have to worry about them, in fact, for us female soldiers, this place is better, at least the other few Soldiers from the Hejun Army have basically gone to the Hejun Army, which is the only one in their life."
Jiang Yanhai also laughed, which is why the number of the Crane Army far exceeds that of the other armies.
The first is what Jiang Yanhai just said, the Shadowless Forbidden Army has been stationed in the frontier for a long time, they cannot get married, at least they cannot go back before they get old, so there is only one point, it will be resolved here and there, don't think that this is no big deal.
If they were all men, there would definitely be a lot of problems.
Second, the women of the He Army have special roles in many aspects, such as sewing leather armor after being disabled, needlework, cooking, washing clothes, etc., the women of the He Army have advantages.
The third is the most critical combat mission.
"You haven't said yet, what is our combat mission?" Lin Mei glanced at Jiang Yanhai and asked again.
Looking at her, Jiang Yanhai was silent for a while, and finally spit out two words: "Bait."
As soon as these two words were uttered, Lin Mei's expression darkened. That's right, this is what Jiang Yanhai observed, the role of the Crane Army, the bait!
lure what? Of course it is to lure the gluttonous.
When they zipline down and attack, they are at least seven or eight meters to more than ten meters away from the city wall. If the Taotie is not commanded by the beast king at this distance, it will attract a large number of Taotie to attack them, so that the corpses of the gluttony will not all pile up Under the city wall, gather together.
To put it bluntly, it is to avoid ordinary Taotie constantly attacking the city wall without the command of the beast king, and then the natural corpses pile up on the arhat, and finally climb up the city wall.
Their existence is to attract Taotie, disperse the distribution of Taotie's corpses, and buy more time for the long-range troops on the city wall to attack. The truth is so cruel.
