I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

But as far as they know, the only one who got first-class merit alive is an intelligence officer.

The opponent desperately brought back a person from the enemy camp.

The people below don't know who that person is. Anyway, the court attaches great importance to it, and everyone speculates that the identity of the rescued person is absolutely ridiculously high in the Western Alliance.

So, if the superior gave them a collective first-class merit, what does that mean? It means that this mission is mortal.

The scene fell into silence, only the sound of rain beating on the soldiers' raincoats.

"I have something to do with the higher authorities, anyone who doesn't want to go can stand up!"

Seeing the silence of the brothers, Li Zhen looked at everyone and asked loudly.

1 minute passed, and no one stood up.

Li Zhen nodded and raised his hand to salute everyone.

"set off!"

"Squad 1 explores the way ahead, and Class 5 is behind!"

"There are others, turn right, the goal is to look at the sky of Bear Mountain, let's go!"

The deputy battalion commander shouted loudly, and the team moved quickly.

"call!"

Looking at the starting team, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and looked back. The fire pile that was being cleared by the squad behind was striding to keep up with the team.

The distance of more than 100 miles is not much distance for the vanguard battalion composed of elite soldiers.

If it is normal speed, it will take about a little more than a day to arrive.

But I don't know what's going on, God seems to be specially against them. The heavy rain started in the afternoon and didn't start to decrease until the middle of the night.

The soldiers of the 3rd Pioneer Battalion, drenched in the muddy water along the way, hurried on their way with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

By the time we got there, it was almost dawn.

I don't know how many times I fell down along the way. Li Zhen, who was covered in mud, wiped the mud from his face, took out the naval telescope his father gave him, and looked at the direction of the sky with lights in the distance.

As he observed, his face became more and more gloomy.

It is hard to see how many troops the enemy has deployed here, but the defense construction on the periphery of Yixiantian is very complete.

After fighting against Daming for so long, they may not have learned much about combat skills, but the Western Alliance has learned all kinds of defensive attacks very well.

Barbed wire trenches, as well as various wooden stake defense devices, are placed everywhere.

The outermost defensive line is at least 300 meters away from the Yixiantian Canyon.

And in the defensive line, he could vaguely see the light of the fire.

This shows that there are also enemies stationed there.

What made him even more troubled was that he saw a soldier standing guard next to the fire, and the rifle on his back turned out to be breech-loaded.

What does this represent.

This represents the troops guarding here, most likely the Western Alliance, equipped with elite troops similar to the second-generation rifles of the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 413: Talking on paper!

"Old Li, how do you fight?"

Also messed up, the deputy battalion commander Lao Xu, who was like a mud monkey, crawled to Li Zhen's side, staring at the distant sky and asking in a low voice.

"The order given to us by the headquarters is to take this place before dark."

"I took a look just now. These white-skinned pigs have no other skills. They are good at digging up turtle shells."

"We don't have heavy weapons in our hands, just two cannons and two heavy machine guns, it's a bit difficult to chew!"

Passing the telescope to Lao Xu beside him, Li Zhen expressed his observations and worries with a solemn expression.

"Eat even the hardest!"

Observing Old Xu on the opposite side, he firmly replied:

"This is the only way for the Western Alliance army to go to Vienna. If the headquarters wants to snatch this place, it must be here to have a vigorous battle and wipe out the main army of the Western Alliance."

"And the terrain here is also very suitable. Once we grab a line of sky, the enemy wants to retreat. They have to climb the mountain or go around for hundreds of miles."

"But there are not many cities within a few hundred miles. Their 10,000+ army has no supplies, and it will also end in destruction."

"So this task is very arduous, and it is also the trust of the headquarters in our battalion. No matter how much it costs, we must complete this task."

After roughly observing the situation, Lao Xu handed the binoculars to several officers next to him, gritted his teeth, expressed his guess, and expressed his determination.

Li Zhen nodded slightly, and looked back at the mud monkey behind him. Seeing that many people looked a little tired, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes.

These were brothers who had been with him for nearly a year, and he knew in his heart how difficult this task was.

Even if the task is completed, at least half of the people present will fall here.

But Li Zhen also understood that if they could complete the task, the subsequent conquest battle would be smooth sailing, and the casualties of the main army would be greatly reduced.

And more importantly, this terrain is too complicated.

If they hadn't won the first line of sky and the enemy deployed heavy troops to defend here, even with the cooperation of the air force and artillery corps, the main army would have to pay a lot of casualties to win it.

Looking up at the sky, and then at the well-defended line of sky in the distance, Li Zhen gritted his teeth.

"Done!"

Old Xu glanced at him, nodded and said nothing.

Soon, a group of officers came to a remote place.

Li Zhen looked at the crowd and said, "It's half an hour before dawn, people are the most tired at this time."

"Plus they don't know, we've got here, the defense will definitely be very low, and this is our opportunity."

Take out a few stones and hand one of them to the captain of the first team.

"Xiao Zi, take your team and quietly touch the opponent's last line of defense, waiting for my signal. Without my whistle, no attack is allowed."

Then he took out two more and handed them to the captains of the second and third teams.

"You two teams are responsible for detouring left and right to see if you can climb above the sky. I will lead the rest of the team to attack from the front to attract the enemy's attention and firepower."

"Once the enemy's rear is empty, you immediately launch an attack to block the enemy's rear."

The two team leaders nodded, tightly holding the stone in their hands.

Taking a deep breath, Li Zhen handed the last stone to Lao Xu.

"You lead the fourth squad and the artillery squad to support us in the rear."

"If I die, you will take over the command, continue to launch the attack, and report the situation here to the headquarters, so that the other nearest vanguard battalions can come over to take over our offensive mission."

"I'm in charge of leading the team to attack, and you support from behind."

Old Xu pushed the stone back and offered to take on the task of new firepower.

Li Zhen looked at the other party seriously, "Xu Guangqi, this is an order!"

Old Xu was stunned, looked at Li Zhen with firm eyes, was silent for a while, and took the stone.

"Let the brothers check the ammunition and set off in a quarter of an hour. I will launch an attack before dawn. I hope you can reach the designated location."

Unwrapping the gun wrapped in the raincloth, Liu Zhen loaded the gun with a "click" and saluted several team leaders.

Several people returned the gift immediately.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and shouted, and the others put their fists on top of it, and shouted in a low voice.

"Wan Sheng!"

A line of sky, the cave where the garrison soldiers rest.

Wen Si looked at the order in his hand, his expression was full of indifference.

This is an order from the headquarters of the Western Alliance, asking him to strengthen his guard and ensure that the main army passes here safely.

As an idealist, he was very disgusted with the alliance's way of fighting to avoid the main force of Ming Dynasty at first.

He felt that they should have a head-on confrontation with Da Ming like knights.

However, he is only a head of a thousand people, and a young man who has just inherited his father's position. What he said is nothing to those nobles.

Later, by chance, he came into contact with Omurad, king of the Ottoman Empire.

The young and bold Wen Si put forward his own ideas and doubts.

Omurad did not choose to ignore the other party because of his low status, but patiently explained the tactics and the comparison of the strength of the two parties to the other party.

Omurad's explanation made Wens, who had little contact with top-level intelligence, suddenly realized. At the same time, he also understood that the Western Alliance chose this method of combat, which was really helpless.

Understanding the difficulties of the alliance, Wins immediately revised his thoughts and told Omurad about the revised ideas.

After hearing this, Omurad's eyes lit up.

He didn't expect that the young man who chatted casually had such a high opinion on the military.

Seeing that the opponent had opportunities to be trained, Omurad, who lacked generals, directly sent an invitation, hoping that Wens could join the Ottoman Empire.

Wen Si, who always felt that he was being neglected, already had the idea of ​​changing jobs in his mind.

The king of Omurad, a huge empire, did not dislike his identity, and personally offered an olive branch. Wen Si just hesitated, and agreed to join the Ottoman Empire.

Omurad did not treat him badly, and handed over the newly formed 2000-man new rifle battalion to the other party.

And assured him that in the future, the new equipment of the Ottoman Empire will be given priority to his troops.

Omurad's trust made Wens very excited, and he vowed in his heart that he must complete the other party's task well.

Ever since he took refuge in Omurad, Wens only obeyed the other party's orders.

As for the Western Union, it doesn't even count as a fart in his eyes.

Therefore, the order issued by the Western Alliance, without Omurad's signature, is a piece of waste paper.

Coincidentally, today's order does not have Omurad's signature.

As for why he didn't know, it was probably another internal struggle.

Since the Eagles withdrew from the league, the situation in the Western League is now a bit delicate.

Each country has its own ideas, and the soldiers who were originally required to be sent to the main force on a regular basis have been delayed again and again.

The Western Alliance is still an alliance in name, but in fact, it is already in disarray internally.

Even among them, it is not known how many have secretly turned to Daming.

Wins remembered that Omurad once told him that at least 1/10 of the league had secretly defected to Ming.

Now all kinds of information about the alliance, just decided in the morning, entered Daming's hands in the afternoon, and there were no secrets at all.

Omurad, who had no expectation of victory, was ready for a total defeat.

As for where the Ottoman Empire will go after the defeat, Wens doesn't know.

The most urgent task now is to consider how to choose.

If a Ming army really came to attack, should they block it desperately, or fight casually, save their strength and retreat immediately.

Scratching his head irritably.

Without Aumurad's acceptance, he really didn't know what to do.

"Your Excellency, His Majesty the King has a letter."

Just when Wen Si was having a headache, a guard walked in and handed him a letter.

Wen Si was overjoyed, and quickly opened the letter.

The content of the letter is very simple, asking him to obey the alliance's orders.

But in the end, Omurad reminded him vaguely that if he couldn't hold on, he could choose to retreat and wait for the main force to arrive.

Vince understood.

Aumurad meant to tell him that as a member of the alliance, he still had to obey the alliance's orders.
