One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 172 Lure the enemy to go deep
As soon as Spencer heard about the precarious situation in Xiaohe, he couldn't sit still. You must know that there are still his grandchildren, his son-in-law, and most importantly, his daughter who has not forgiven him so far.

"Military division, the local crisis is like this, what are we still doing here, the whole army should come back to help."

Spencer was in such a hurry that he even thought about leaving the Devil's Corner area and Sanchuan City that had been annexed with great difficulty.

Mellon said to Spencer with a solemn expression.

"Master Spencer, you are the elder of Lord Marquis, so I shouldn't say anything about you, but I still want to emphasize once again that what you just said must not be spread outside, let alone say it again.

I repeat the Lord Lord's death order again. The Xiaohe Army and the Revenge Army that entered the Devil's Corner area are not allowed to retreat to Xiaohe Town as long as the enemy is still at the foot of Sanchuan City. "

This is also one of the reasons why Mellon sent [-] militiamen and Spencer back to Xiaohe Town.

Because Spencer and the reinforcements composed of [-] former Megan collar serfs were not considered members of the Xiaohe collar, let alone the Xiaohe army and the revenge army.

Mellon said a lot to Spencer, who had stabilized his mood. For example, the [-] militiamen were the limit that Sanchuan City could give at the moment, otherwise the enemy on the opposite side of Sanchuan City would not be made of mud!
Spencer's dull expression now turned into a murderous expression.

With a heavy face, Spencer entered the camp where [-] militiamen were.

Spencer didn't say much, but emphasized the military order and said to leave immediately.

Naturally, such an attitude cannot satisfy the [-] militiamen, especially those who were originally serfs but are now centurion commanders and thousand commanders.

The high-level officers in these militias are of course not all served by their own people. The vast majority of the high-level officers here are served by Abin's intelligence personnel who pretended to be serfs, and they were lurking here long ago. .

They naturally fully cooperated with Spencer's actions, but one or two generals turned against Spencer, the supreme commander, on the spot.

Spencer didn't say much, his current style of doing things, for the sake of Matsurizawa and Ayane's family who are in danger, there is only one thing, everything is done in accordance with military law.

Although the military law of Xiaohe's army is not perfect, the ten thousand militiamen don't know anything about military law.

But Spencer has his own set of military laws in his heart, and he taught his soldiers what military laws are with one head after another.

When leaving Sanchuan City and crossing the Devil's Corner area, it was Spencer himself who dealt with the illegal soldiers, but when he was about to reach the Goat Ridge area, not only were there fewer people who resisted, but also a large number of people with vested interests helped Spencer Spencer deals with disobedience to military orders.

Spencer not only knows how to kill, but also punishes. After all, he has experienced many things in the world, and he knows the truth of giving a stick and a carrot.

The people who disobeyed the military orders he killed along the way, as soon as they died, Spencer immediately promoted a group of obedient people to their positions.

Along the way, Spencer also promised the army a lot of future benefits, such as how to reward them after seeing the Lord of Xiaohe, Matsurize.

However, when Spencer led [-] militiamen to walk and train, and arrived at the Shanyangzhai area, although it took a month and nearly half of the time was delayed, Spencer knew very well that it was worth it.

He knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the militiamen was very limited. If he didn't train like this, it would be useless on the frontline battlefield of Xiaohe.

Just when Spencer arrived at Shanyangzhai with the army, he learned a piece of news about Xiaohe Town through the defenders here. King Liusheng II's army had invaded Xiaohe Territory for more than half a month, and the war had started half a month ago. It's been more than a month.

At this time, Spencer no longer needed to rectify the militiamen under him, and the army advanced at full speed, heading towards Xiaohe Town.

Half a month ago, King Yagyu II suddenly invaded Xiaohe Township and the Sunken Ship City area half a month ago.

In only half a month, although Matsurize sent people to paralyze many roads and rivers on the water, this channel is too flat, and Matsurize's means have little obstruction.

In just half a month, King Liusheng II's army suffered almost no losses, and was about to invade Xiaohe Town, the center of Xiaohe Territory.

In such a short period of time, the king's army invaded here, which was also the result of Matsurize's strategic retreat.

Matsurize had already seen that the terrain was too flat and the defense was too difficult.

With Xiaohe's current preparations, [-] well-trained Xiaohe troops and [-] militiamen, it is really a disadvantage to resist in that area.

In the vicinity of Xiaohe Town, the geographical advantage is not very good, but the mountains are a little undulating, and they can use the favorable geographical location to alleviate their own shortage of troops.

Moreover, Matsurize's previous defeats also had the intention of luring the enemy into depth.

Although the commander of the Royal Army this time is the relatively experienced Marquis of Tam, in the face of successive victories in the early stage, King Yagyu II in Shipwreck City issued several royal orders in succession, asking Marquis of Tam as soon as possible Hurry up and annex Xiaohe collar.

The Marquis of Tam knew that such behavior was wrong. With the superior strength of the king's army, there was no way for Xiaoheling to fight steadily. Not to mention that Xiaoheling could be wiped out steadily, but it was certain that Xiaoheling would be severely injured.

However, the Marquis of Tam has long changed his style of dealing with people. Facing King Yagyu II's royal order, the current [-] king's army has marched into a straight long line.

On this long line, the ones at the forefront were not the [-] veterans of the king's army, but the [-] new recruits scrambling to get ahead, fearing that the easy-to-reach military merits would be snatched away.

Faced with this situation, the Marquis of Tamm withdrew his troops a few times, but King Yagyu II's order was there. If the order of the Marquis of Tamm was contrary to the order, it would be useless.

At this time, at the gate of Xiaohe Town, relying on the mountain, sections of city walls were built to defend against foreign enemies.

And just under the city wall, Matsurize organized the [-] Xiaohe Army, the most powerful force in Xiaohe Territory, to gather here.

Matsurize couldn't bear to continue to retreat, there was no way out, and at this time, he could hit the arrogant king's army hard, making the subsequent defensive battle easier.

At this time, on the city wall, Ayane was supported by several maids, looking at her husband below the city wall with a big belly.

At this time, Ayane may give birth at any time, and she can no longer follow Matsurizawa at any time, so she can only cheer silently from behind!
