Chapter 189 Salvatore
According to legend, Salvatore was a very strategic and courageous military commander. He used troops boldly and unexpectedly, and dared to launch surprise attacks. He won many battles with outnumbered enemies. After the formation of the Western European Alliance, he tried his best to encourage the other six The Grand Alliance launched an offensive against the Chinese Federation, but was eventually opposed by four people, and the plan was shelved.

Later, he tried every means to unify the thoughts of his generals and led the Lion Heart Legion on a cross-border expedition alone. He wanted to defeat Yao Xiaosong, one of the eighteen city lords, so as to gain the recognition of the other six members of the Elder Council and conquer China with his own hands. Prologue to the Commonwealth.

At the beginning of the war, he was indeed victorious and approached Yao Xiaosong's base camp "Gourd City" in an orderly manner. It was not until Yao Xiaosong invited the nearby City Lord Fan Yuan to help in the battle that the situation gradually stabilized and the war entered a stalemate.

Fan Yuan's ability is not outstanding, at least not as good as that of Zheng Zhongli, but there is a man named Ding Zu under his account, known as "Yin Master".

Ding Zu offered a trick called catching the turtle in the urn. The whole layout is interlocking and there is no loophole, at least in Salvatore's view, so he fell for it naturally. After more than ten hard fights, Salvatore He led the Lionheart Legion to attack Calabash City, Yao Xiaosong was defeated, and led the crowd to flee far away. Salvatore sent people to take over all the defense facilities in the city, and then he personally led the army into the city.

However, before Salvatore had time to celebrate, he discovered that the hundreds of thousands of people who had been in the city had all disappeared without warning. After sending people to investigate, they found out that they had already dug out countless secret messages. When he left the city, the moment he personally led the army into the city, he had already withdrawn from the secret passage.

Salvatore was furious and ordered his men to pursue him along the secret passages. However, there were thousands of secret passages, and the Lion-Hearted Army under his command was only about [-] people. How could he pursue them? In the end, more than one person failed to catch up, and even one of them failed to catch up. They suffered heavy losses due to the poisonous insect and poisonous mist that had been set up in the secret passage.

Afterwards, he discovered that Calabash City was besieged by more than 60 troops assembled by the eight major Chinese armies. They did something that made Salvatore angry and desperate, throwing haystacks into the city , boiling oil and other flammable substances - burn the city.

The fire burned for six days and six nights. Salvatore led people to launch dozens of breakouts, each time he encountered strong resistance, and each time he was forced back into the city. He finally understood that the general situation was over and committed suicide. A small number of soldiers under his command Follow him, and the rest of the people surrender.

The Lionheart Legion, once famous for a while, perished together with Calabash City in this battle.

It was precisely because of this battle that Ding Zu secured his title as the top strategist of the Huaxia Federation. Such a huge secret project, involving a wide range of sieges, was not noticed by the intelligence organization under Salvatore's command. A trace of clues, and more importantly, he also persuaded Yao Xiaosong to give up Calabash City, and exchanged the death of the city for the destruction of the enemy.This avoids the situation where the city of Salvatore is defended and the Western European Union launches a rescue.

Liu Zhi quite recognized Salvatore's ability, but felt that this guy was overconfident. Although the Chinese Federation was much smaller than the Western European Union, it had always been known as a land of hundreds of battles. From the second year of crossing, this On this piece of land, large and small wars have never stopped. Each of the eighteen city lords has experienced blood and fire. When facing foreign enemies, they also showed solidarity, let alone the Duke of Lionheart Well, even if it was a lion-hearted emperor, under the circumstances of such a lonely expedition, he would surely end up with no bones left.

This is what Liu Zhi is worried about. Salvatore has a headstrong personality and rarely listens to the opinions of others. If he is not afraid of threats and directly kills the five members of the negotiation team, he will no longer be able to form a relationship with them. The military alliance has only two options in front of it. One is to forcibly capture the fortress and organize people to fight against the half-werewolves. The other is to deal with the half-werewolves first, and then turn the spearhead and find Salvatore to settle the ledger.

In Liu Zhi's view, although it is not difficult to capture the fortress, it is not good for the overall situation. Salvatore's murder of his people must be a capital crime. After the fortress army loses its commander, its combat power will definitely be greatly reduced. It's also quite troublesome, because it won't help the expeditionary army much on the frontal battlefield, and you have to guard against them being stabbed in the back. It's better to just throw them in the fortress and not allow them to come out, but if you do this, you will lose an important help.

As for the half-werewolves, Liu Zhi is not afraid of them. Although they have gathered more than 3000 people, and it is not yet known whether there will be reinforcements, the expeditionary force still has a huge advantage with its current equipment and combat power. This is mainly because Thanks to the emergence of the six-way crossbow and the equipment of the entire army, the expeditionary force has a strong long-range strike capability.

Of course, if the strength of the half werewolves exceeded five thousand, Liu Zhi would not confront them head-on, because even if they could win, it would bring huge losses to the expeditionary army, which would be detrimental to the tribe's subsequent development.

So he wanted to lure out the half werewolves first, wipe out their main forces in the wild, and then defeat them one by one. Before that, he would try his best to get military assistance from the fortress.

After all, the main purpose of this expedition is to increase combat experience for the expeditionary force. If it goes well, the skeletons of each battalion can be built with just a little mobilization. Those slightly dangerous situations should be avoided as much as possible .

Liu Zhi was thinking about this in his mind, seven or eight minutes passed quickly, a gap was suddenly opened in the gate of the fortress, and five figures stepped out one after another, they were the negotiation team sent by Liu Zhi.

Jumping off Bimon, Liu Zhi went up to meet him, and the five of them ran to the front quickly, and they all shouted "Leader" with some excitement, and then they began to cry one after another.

"Chief, I knew you wouldn't abandon us. Fortunately, we all held on."

"We all thought we would never see you again, Chief..."

"That stupid consul has no morals at all. He arrested us after asking about the situation and confiscated all our equipment. Leader, it's a good thing you're here!"

Liu Zhi listened patiently to what they said for a while, and took a look at them. The five people were all equipped, and there was no obvious trauma on their bodies, but their faces were slightly pale, and their expressions were quite haggard. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot. Frowning slightly, he asked, "Did they use torture?"

"Yeah!" One person nodded and whispered: "We used water torture. We used our vitality to extend the breath-holding time to prevent water from being poured into the stomach, lungs and trachea. We also deliberately pretended to be uncomfortable. It looked like we had been holding on like this for more than an hour. They thought our bones were too hard, so they simply gave up and put us all in a water prison. They also said that if we didn't say anything today, they would tie us up and throw us into the madness one by one. Fish river until someone talks.”

Liu Zhi had a cold look on his face, and asked after a while, "What kind of things did they ask?"

"First they asked where we came from, how many people there were in the tribe, how many troops there were, etc., because it was not a secret, so we told the truth. Later, they asked about the source of the hexagonal wood, the processing method, and even made some indirect remarks. Regarding matters related to awakening, we knew we couldn’t reveal it, so we didn’t dare to say a word.”

"Good job." Liu Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and said seriously: "Now go back to the team first, and when the half-wolfs are cleaned up, I will help you get back all the suffering you have suffered today."

In fact, Liu Zhi does not think that these cannot be disclosed. Secrets such as the six-party wood, special awakened people, and vitality control, etc., even if others know it, it is impossible to copy the development model of the tribe without the core air-guiding technique. What's more, the tribe is now on the right track. As time goes by, the development speed will only get faster and faster, and all successors are destined to be left far behind.

Leaping onto Bimeng's shoulder, Liu Zhi took a look at the top of the city wall. Many people were caught by his gaze, and subconsciously turned their heads. He sneered in his heart, and quickly left with more than 700 soldiers, and disappeared at the end of the plain in a short while. .
