Crossing the Unknown Country

For so many years, Ansheng State has been peaceful and the people have not been at war, but Dongjie State has not been idle. Several small neighboring countries have allowed them to capture many cities. What they did was to first plant insiders, and then when they took the opportunity to attack, they let the insiders act as insiders in the city. Many insiders have been lurking for many years and have become officials in other countries. Some of them directly mixed into the city gates as gatekeepers. If the war started, some would secretly open the city gates, let people directly into the city, and then capture the city by burning, killing, and looting. Some, as officials, met with some wrong suggestions, which led to problems in war decisions. Others pretended to be civilians and wandered around to poison the wells, causing a large number of deaths in the city, and the plague broke out because they could not be buried. In this way, they took these measures to annex or weaken some small countries around them, accumulated enough strength, and came to attack Ansheng State.

Wang An never dared to let down his guard because of his father's advice. The wolfish ambitions of Dongjie State were obvious, and the news sent back by his people in the country often reminded him that war was a matter of time. After so many years of preparation, it finally came. Wang An was relieved. If he could repel the enemy this time, at least a few decades of peace would be restored.

The Dongjie Kingdom never stopped fighting. They regarded plunder as a way to develop their country. The surrounding countries suffered greatly from it. Due to the special characteristics of this race, it is impossible to destroy it. There are people from the Dongjie Kingdom in several surrounding countries. They will stay in different countries. There are people from their country in every country they can go to. This can also be regarded as a kind of self-protection consciousness of the race. The most likely way is to let it belong to another country and no longer be a country. Otherwise, the aggressiveness of this nation will always cause harm to the surrounding countries.

A group of people from Dongjie Kingdom had already set out from the outskirts of the mountains, preparing to cross the mountains and enter Ansheng Kingdom. They were not used to the mountain roads, and it was easy to get lost in these endless mountains. Relying on the direction of the compass, they headed in the correct direction, not daring to go down the mountain. There were sentinels who went to investigate the situation, and the important traffic arteries were guarded by soldiers from Ansheng Kingdom.

The residents of these villages in Ansheng were also very alert. They would report any outsiders to the authorities. This was written in the notices sent by their local officials to each village. After several days of detouring in the mountains, the Dongjie people finally bypassed Fenggu City. They were ready to rest and start to move. Their first thought was to raid a town, get some food, and cause a riot to disrupt Fenggu City. They couldn't bring much food when they went out on the mountain road, so it was just right to increase some supplies.

They were harassing the nearest town to the border town, Baima Town. They rushed directly to the town and prepared to start killing without restraint. The soldiers who had been deployed long ago directly blocked their way. These people were also very surprised. They saw that there were not so many soldiers here from afar. The spies they sent did not find the army here. They had no choice but to rush forward and start fighting. They did not know that in order to prevent the enemy from attacking, elite soldiers were ambushed in each key town. There were not many people, and they started recruiting soldiers when they arrived at the local area, so that the people in their hometown would desperately protect the safety of their loved ones.

The Dongjie soldiers had never thought that there would be people fighting desperately here, as if they had a grudge against them for generations. The Dongjie soldiers, with more than a hundred men, were already fierce enough, but they could not resist the desperate fighting. They came here to plunder and invade, not to fight. Seeing the Ansheng soldiers rushing over with swords and spears and fighting fearlessly, some local residents who were not soldiers came from behind, rushing over from all directions with kitchen knives and sticks, trying to surround them.
