Eagle's Glory

Chanel must not think of so many things, she just wants to serve herself wholeheartedly.

"Chanel..." He couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty?" Chanel had returned to normal at this time.

"Well... do you think I'm sorry for Teresa?" Aigron asked.

A little confusion and hesitation appeared on Chanel's face.

After a while, she replied in a low voice, "If you are an ordinary person, it is certainly wrong to do so; but you are Your Majesty, and what you do is to act on behalf of God's will. How can you be wrong? All we can do is to implement the will of God. Your order has absolutely no right to evaluate your behavior. Besides...His Highness Teresa has already received enough respect from you, and you have made everyone respect her, so how can I feel sorry for her...?"

Aegron couldn't help laughing. "Not everyone thinks the same as you..."

Before he asked the question, he knew how Chanel would answer——Yugong, Chanel is his servant, and of course he would not accuse him of being wrong; privately, Chanel is still looking forward to continuing to receive favor from himself in the future , How could she be willing to accuse him of making mistakes? !

The reason why I know the answer and ask is nothing more than to give myself a reason.

After getting the answer he wanted, the shame and self-ashamedness that arose in this young man who had already cultivated a cunning heart in the court, although he was young, immediately disappeared.

You can do whatever you want, just pay attention to the method and method.

"Then didn't you come with Teresa's order?" Aegron asked back.

"Your Majesty, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side. Her Highness Teresa respects me very much and gives me various graces and rewards from time to time, but none of these can wear down my loyalty to you. I obey her orders , just because you asked me to listen, in the final analysis, my allegiance is only you." Chanel replied in a low voice, "However, I suggest that you stop being distracted by Miss Agnes at least now..."

"I understand." Aigron nodded, and then fell into the contemplation of bathing again.

"Let me continue to wipe your body, the water will be cold soon." Seeing that he was lost in thought, Chanel continued her work, picked up a bath towel and wiped his body.

Soon, the bath was over, and Chanel waited for him to change his clothes as usual.

After leaving Mesone for so long, Aigron was used to managing his own life alone, but when Chanel returned to his side, he regained his previous sense of comfort.

In the middle of the night, Eggron was going to bed, and he was going to go outside to call the guards and prepare a bed for the tent.

Chanel, however, dared to stop him.

"Your Majesty, don't bother the guards anymore, let's... let's go to bed together?" She suggested in a low voice.

Aigron looked at Chanel's shy face, and then at the small camp bed.

"It's inconvenient..." he replied.

"It's nothing inconvenient, isn't it good...?" Chanel raised her head, and then whispered, "It's been a long time since I saw you, I want to hug you so much, please... please satisfy me My wish..."

Seeing Chanel looking forward to it so much, Aigron spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, let's do it then."

Then he changed the subject again, "However, it's just sleeping together. I'm marching outside now, and the battle is imminent. I need to concentrate and not be distracted."

After hearing his reply, Chanel was obviously disappointed, but she could tell the difference. Since the master had already said so, she nodded slightly. "Okay, Your Majesty, thank you for your care..."

After finishing speaking, she silently helped Aigron take off his clothes, and then she took off her clothes together, and then, the two of them lay on the bed at the same time.

The camp bed is very small, so two people have to hug each other to ensure that they will not fall out of the bed-of course, this is the effect Chanel hopes to see.

She hugged Aigron tightly, and her whole body was attached to his body, and the thin clothes couldn't stop her fiery body at all, so that Aigron was quickly ignited.

Smelling the fragrance of her body, he was distracted for a moment, and couldn't help kissing Chanel again.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he finally endured himself and did not go any further.

And Chanel also followed Aigron's will, did not struggle any more, and hugged him in a proper manner, and the two slowly fell into a deep sleep.

============================================

In the early morning of the next day, Aigron slowly opened his eyes.

And the first thing that caught his eyes was Chanel's charming sleeping face.

Hugging each other and sleeping on the narrow bed made his arms a little sore, but he only felt refreshed.

It's been a long time since he felt this kind of feeling again, and it's only at this time that he realizes how nostalgic he is for the days when someone is with him.

Unfortunately, in order to accomplish great things, he must control his desires.

He struggled to get out of Chanel's arms, and in this case, he inevitably woke Chanel up.

Chanel slowly opened her eyes, and then looked at Aigron with melting eyes and a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Your Majesty~"

Then, she happily got out of bed, got dressed, quickly cleaned up the surrounding sundries, and then served Aigron to get dressed and wash. The power is so strong that it is suspected that she has been wound up after a night. .

Aigron knew that she was happy, so he didn't say much, and let her manipulate him. He didn't speak again until everything was sorted out.

"Chanel, remember what I told you, don't move around easily, don't leave the sight of my guards. It's an exception for me to keep you here, don't add extra trouble to us all."

"Okay, Your Majesty! I absolutely obey your orders." Chanel replied immediately.

Looking at Chanel's face, Aigron's serious expression was gradually replaced by a smile, "Next, my army will launch an attack and try to break through the fort's defenses from the front. You can stay here and observe the scene. For you, it must be an unforgettable experience in your life.”

Chanel shivered slightly.

Although she has a strong personality, she is still a girl after all. She has never seen a battlefield, and she has not even seen bloody scenes a few times. At this moment, when she thinks of the mass killing that will happen next, her face turns pale.

But even so, she nodded heavily.

"I will watch carefully, Your Majesty... As your servant, I am obliged to witness every moment of your revival of the empire, even those moments full of blood and fire!"

After finishing speaking, she bowed to salute the young man.

Eggron blinked approvingly, then waved her goodbye.

Then he strode out of the tent.

Today is a cloudy day, the clouds are dense, and the wind is a bit cool, but this does not affect his good mood.

He went to the heights and watched the actions of his troops.

According to his orders, today will be the time to launch the first attack on the fortress.

Whether it is a frontal assault or a feint attack in order to cooperate with flanking actions, it is necessary to put on a posture of attacking with all its strength.

So, these days his men are digging trenches, digging towards the walls of forts and bastions.After several days of hard work, at this time, the trench has been dug to a position very close to the fortress, and it is time to launch an attack.

Looking down from the high ground, black crowds were surging between the trenches, approaching the fortress like living creatures.

Of course, before launching an attack, there are essential artillery preparations.

Aigron looked at a high ground next to him. At this time, more than [-] cannons of various types had been placed there, and the artillerymen were already in full swing, and his commander-in-chief Michel Ney also stand there.

Some of these cannons were bought by him, and some were captured. Although the number is still small and there is a lack of large-caliber heavy cannons, this is currently his only means of suppressing the fortress.

Aigron took out his pocket watch and carefully checked the time marked by the hands.

When the hour hand reached the 8 scale, he waved his hand heavily.

"Bang!" At the same moment, there was a deafening roar from the cannon position.　　

186, temporarily frustrated

Under Aegron's watchful eye, his artillery began to bombard the Mesolonghion Fortress, which meant that his offensive had officially begun.

Amidst the deafening bombardment, a large number of solid shells were accelerated by the gunpowder and the barrel, and rushed into the air with a howling sound, then fell rapidly, and finally landed in the opposite fortress in a perfect parabola.

The shells fell like raindrops on the outer walls and open space of the fortress, and then stirred up waves of mud that floated into the air, and then fell like raindrops. Among the black mud and dust, there were some dazzling red stains—— Obviously, some unlucky enemy soldiers became victims of this round of shelling.

However, the continuous bombardment did not bring a particularly heavy blow to the fortress, because on the one hand, Aigron does not have heavy artillery, which is not powerful enough to directly destroy the fortress; secondly, the well-designed bastion, its walls are not high , and the masonry structure is inclined, so it is difficult for shells to penetrate.

With the help of a telescope, Aigron observed the results of the bombardment—except for the smoke and dust that filled the front, the shells only left some large and small craters on the city wall.

Obviously, the effect is slight.

Although he was disappointed, Egron was not surprised. He knew in his heart that if Messolonghi hadn't been such a strong fortress, the Turks wouldn't have had to besiege it for so long before taking it.

In essence, he was experiencing the mood of the Turks at the time.

After the bombardment lasted for a period of time, it gradually subsided, and then it was time for a frontal charge.

Standing on the high ground, Egron watched his soldiers lying in front of the ditch close to the bastion, waiting for the final order.

Although he couldn't see the faces of the soldiers clearly, he could clearly feel the chill that permeated the entire front—that was the atmosphere before the death god was about to come.

They were doomed to a bloody struggle.

Even though he knew that the next attack would not have any obvious results and would definitely bring heavy sacrifices, he still didn't say a word, just silently watching the battle ahead.

As long as there is a war, there will be sacrifices, and he has long been used to letting his soldiers make sacrifices-all he can do is to make this sacrifice as worthwhile as possible.

Following a few sharp whistles, there was a deafening roar in the trench, and then a group of soldiers with rifles jumped out of the trench under the command of the officer, and then collectively rushed towards the multi-faceted fort ahead.

In this situation, the soldiers had no formation to speak of. A group of soldiers in black uniforms charged forward scatteredly. Like a herd of buffalo on a gallop.

Amidst their roars, the distance between them and the bastion was getting closer and closer. For a moment, in some people's minds, victory seemed to be close at hand...

However, just as they were approaching the front of the bastion, the fortress, which had been silent for a long time during the previous confrontation and shelling, suddenly made dense noises.

Like giants waking up, these bastions poured firepower at the enemy troops rushing towards them in anger. In an instant, the shooting holes in the bastion and the soldiers on the city wall began to fire, and the soldiers hiding behind the city wall began to fire. The cannon also began to return fire.

Cannon fire and bullets flew wildly in the open space in an instant, harvesting life like the scythe of death. To the soldiers who charged forward, the muffled sound of bullets hitting and passing through the human body was endless, as if some terrible monster was attacking Playing the piano and celebrating.

People kept falling down, but because of the restraint of military discipline, the remaining people were still charging forward. They crossed the open space full of stones, and then rushed into the ditch in front of the bastion wall.

There was not much water in the trench, so they jumped in easily, but then they found that how to climb out of the trench from the other side became a problem again.

Some tried to climb up with guns tucked under their arms, while others held guns and fired back at the distant city walls.

Because the walls of the bastion have a star-shaped structure, the soldiers in these trenches will inevitably have to bear the firepower from the other two angles. Bullets are constantly pouring down from the walls to fight back against the attackers. .

The lucky soldiers were shot by the bullets at low altitude or hit the stones under their feet, while the unlucky ones had to use their bodies to bear the kinetic energy carried by the bullets.

The bloody light kept bursting out in the trench, and the screams continued to echo in it. After a while, the trench was filled with bloody corpses, and the blood from their wounds instantly covered the bottom of the trench red. , as if it was a carpet laid to welcome the arrival of the god of death.

In this tragic scene, some soldiers began to break down. They either stood there blankly, not knowing what to do, and then were knocked down by ruthless bullets; move back.

But even so, there are still some soldiers who still maintain their courage. They try their best to climb up from the trench, and then climb up the sloping city wall, while using the gap created by the shelling just now to cover themselves.

However, after these bravest soldiers climbed to the wall, they were greeted with bullets and bayonets from the defenders.

Alone, they were pushed down amidst screams, and then fell heavily into the ditch on their backs, facing their own death with their eyes open.

The intensive death turned this attack into a one-sided massacre, and seeing the constant sacrifices of fellow soldiers, even the most determined warriors could not help but be dominated by fear at this moment.

Then, the surviving soldiers began to retreat involuntarily, one step or two at first, and then ran quickly. No one paid attention to the wounded soldiers who were still howling in the battlefield. Trench during the attack.

As a result, this anticlimactic attack seemed unable to sustain it at the beginning, and the attackers returned to the original point, as if nothing had happened-but the corpses left in the open space and the ditch under the bastion are enough to prove that The tragic killing that happened before.

It was the first time Eggron's army retreated before the enemy.

Seeing the cowardly performance of his subordinates, the commander-in-chief Michel Ney, who was watching the battle in the artillery position, jumped with anger.

In his opinion, the subordinates are disgracing themselves and making themselves ashamed of their surname.

"Go! Order them not to retreat! Officers are obliged to maintain order and continue to attack! Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be shot!" He shouted at the orderlies angrily.

Then, he couldn't hold back anymore, he walked out of the position, and prepared to charge with the orderlies around him.

However, Aigron, who was standing on the high ground watching the battle, also observed Michel Ney's actions.

"Tell Michelle, hurry up and stay where I am, I don't need him to charge!" He quickly ordered to his guards.

The guards quickly led away, and finally held up Michel Ney, who was already furious.

At this time, the soldiers who had retreated to their original positions tried to continue to retreat towards the camp, which was about to turn into chaos spreading across the entire army.

Aigron and Michel hurriedly ordered the officers and guards to suppress, and after a while of confusion, they finally let the

At this time, everyone knew that the attack could no longer continue.

So Egron ordered the attack to be suspended and all troops returned to their starting positions-the first attack on Messolonghi was thus declared a failure within an hour.

Aigron let his officers and soldiers rest for a noon to recover their wounded spirits, and then he called his main officers again.

These officers came quickly, and they were all a little downcast at the moment, and it could be seen that they no longer had the high spirits they had before.

Agron was not surprised by this.

Since he led his men to land in Greece and go into battle, they have ended in victory in every battle. Although these victories were not large, they were enough to make his men develop a feeling that "victory is so easy to get" romantic ideas.

Therefore, they have not been tested by real setbacks, so they are not mentally prepared for temporary difficulties.

In this sense, the current offensive setback can be regarded as a necessary remedial lesson—after all, no army has ever won every battle in history, so how to maintain cohesion in the midst of setbacks is extremely important. important topic.

Compared to the calm Egron, Michel Ney seemed much more uncomfortable.

He walked up to Aegron, tears almost welling in his eyes, his face twitched with shame, and he could hardly speak.
