As a duke, how could he bear this tone, but what can he do at this time.

"My lord, it's still time for us to retreat now. As long as we arrange people to do a good job of defense when we retreat, even if the enemy sends troops, it won't affect us."

"Otherwise, I think we can do the opposite. You see, although Aalborg's troops have been attacking our hinterland, they have never dared to attack our rear territory. Why is that? It's not because they have insufficient troops , After taking down the territory behind us, not only will we not be able to defend it, but it will also make us vigilant against them, so that we can divide our forces to attack them. I think it is more important to defeat the enemy in front of us at this time."

The burly knight stepped out of the crowd. He thought this was a good chance, a good chance to defeat the enemy.

"The more the enemy makes trouble behind us, the more it proves their weakness on the frontal battlefield at this time. We only need to defeat the enemy head-on. As for the small fights in the rear, there is nothing to worry about."

"Are you kidding? The enemy's magician troop of such a size, do they have nothing to eat? Which one of our previous attacks took advantage? Didn't they all retreat without breaking through the enemy's fire blockade?"

Another knight also expressed another point of view. In his opinion, the two sides look at each other, one part of the army attacks the enemy in the fortress, and the other side sends part of the troops back to the territory to fight with the enemy's small army.Contain the enemy's offensive.

"Dividing the troops is even less advisable. If we had divided the troops, we could have divided them before. This time our army came here to contain the movement of the enemy's main army inside the fortress. Such a long-distance siege would not be possible without so many soldiers. .Even if it is an attack, to break through the enemy's defense, an advantage in numbers is necessary."

"Okay, stop arguing." Interrupting the advice of his subordinates, Stugalbo glanced at the surrounding nobles. What they wanted to rescue was mainly when the territory was captured, or It is the lords whose lands are threatened.

Most of the knights who advocate continuing to attack are their own knights. They only have a small territory to support themselves, and if they build a new territory, they will naturally entrust the territory to these people.

He is clear about their respective thoughts. As for the one who advocates saving and attacking together, it seems to be helping him, but he has forgotten a big problem.That is the strength of other territories.

With a few hundred people defeating thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, how could they watch the destruction of their lord while fighting.

The palm slapped heavily on the table, making a dull sound.It also made the quiet tent even more dull.

"I have decided to attack the fortress with the whole army. Earl Theodos, please help us with your mercenaries. At that time, you will still attack several other territories, forcing them to fail to rescue Shirley in time."

Opening his mouth, he was about to persuade the Duke not to fight anymore. After such a long battle, he felt that he knew Earl Shirley very well.Since the other party dared to do this, they must have been fully prepared.How could it be possible for them to win the battle smoothly.

However, no matter how much he said, after seeing the ferocious eyes of Duke Stugalbo who was about to fight for life and death at this time, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only sigh for a long time, this time he didn't know Will it escape smoothly?

On the city wall, Shirley, holding a telescope, noticed from a distance that the enemy had begun to gather.Immediately let the subordinates prepare for battle in advance.

"The enemy will bomb me as soon as they leave the barracks. Now they are the underdogs. As long as we hold on to their first few waves of offensives, they will be defeated without fighting."

How can the death charge last, it's just a one-shot effort, as long as one can persevere, the victory is one's own.At this time, equipment and strength are all on her side, and she really doesn't know how to lose.

"The artillery is ready, aim at the enemy barracks, cover the firepower, and let go."

As soon as they walked out of the barracks, there was a wave of bombing and baptism. They didn't know that they were already within the range of the enemy's firepower. However, at this time, their backs were stolen, and the despair of the failure of the digging plan made these soldiers frantically start to fight. Charge forward.

They don't care about bombing, they don't care about death, they don't care about magic.In short, they are going to rush, they are going to rush into the enemy's fortress, kill all the people inside, and grab all the money inside.

"The enemy is in the fortress. My lord has ordered that on the day the city is broken, loot at will for three days. In addition, the first person to climb the wall will be rewarded with a hundred rewards, and the person who will open the city gate will be rewarded with two hundred rewards. One thousand, you can be made an earl. Let me kill you..."

"kill...."

Watching his own soldiers brave the enemy's magic to charge towards the fortress, Stugalbo clenched his fists tightly and looked at the fortress in the distance.

"Xue Li, today we will have a decisive battle. If you lose, everything about you will be wiped out. If I lose, my Duchy of Friedland will never recover. Today's event will bet on the future of the two of us." . Let's see who can become the overlord of the northern border."

As if feeling something in his heart, his red pupils looked into the distance, that was the place where the enemy army was swarming, that was where the enemy army camp was, and that was where the enemy commander was.

The cherry lips parted slightly, and the white teeth loomed, "The decisive battle is about to start here. But the victory definitely belongs to me."

The arm was raised high and then dropped heavily. Under the bright sunlight, the exposed wrist seemed to emit a dazzling halo.

"The victory or defeat is at this moment, gentlemen, fight hard with me to kill the enemy."

What responded to the girl was a more violent roar of artillery fire, which fell on the ground continuously like rain. Even though the distance was far away, because it was on the plain of Mapingchuan, the tragedy in the distance could be seen.

The soldiers who were blown away by the bombs, the horses who were terrified by the explosion of the bombs, and the soldiers who marched forward bravely without fear of life and death.

"Miss, there are too many enemies, and there is a high probability that our artillery will not be able to stop them."

Fuya couldn't help but frown when she saw some of the troops rushed out of the area covered by the artillery and charged towards the city wall. The enemy's fearless charge caused them a lot of trouble.

"I know, but I never thought that only relying on these artillery can solve those enemies."

Although a dense charge is a good target for artillery, it is a rare target for heavy machine guns.

Just when Fuya was curious, she saw that in the trench she had dug before, it was indeed the one she thought was to prevent the enemy from digging and attacking, and a lot of soldiers emerged from it.They took what Shirley said were heavy machine guns and began to fire at the soldiers who rushed in.Not only that, but in the castle, several helicopters that she had been riding before flew out and rushed towards the enemy.

How does that kind of thing fight?You can't use the propeller on the top to cut others at an angle, that's not realistic.Under Fuya's curiosity, she soon saw a series of dense firepower flying out from the two wings of the helicopter, and immediately caused a large number of soldiers to hate on the spot.

"Kill... rush over..."

Soldiers kept rushing out of the bombardment range of the artillery, and the soldiers holding weapons were excited, howled, and ran towards their targets.There is countless wealth and endless military exploits there, as long as they get there, they will be the winners in life.

Now, not only their elite troops, but also many logistics soldiers, they have also heard the rewards from their superiors, that is money, that is military merit, that is honor, and that is their future.

"Kill... kill... kill..."

But amidst the shouts of killing, some people were rare calm. A man on the watchtower was watching the comrades on the front line who were driven by desire rushing over one by one, flying out, rushing over , fell to the ground.He didn't dare to take a step forward. The agreement with his wife told him that there was heaven and an abyss in front of him, and if he stepped into it, he would be lost forever.

There are many logistics soldiers with him. Their responsibility is to take good care of the supplies in the rear. No one forces them to charge, because in the eyes of many soldiers, one less person to pass is one less person to divide their own credit.

"Are they crazy? If they are so aggressive, there are not enough people to die."

The corpses on the charging road had begun to pile up, and the soldiers in the rear sometimes even had to bypass or move the corpses of the soldiers in front to continue charging.Under the scorching sun, bright red blood stained the earth.

Many soldiers began to fear, but more were crazy soldiers. They didn't know what happened in front of them, and they couldn't see the hell-like scene.

The man standing on the watchtower didn't know whether he should be lucky or sad.Even though he was an ordinary farmer, he knew that they had lost this war, and it was a crushing defeat.

Will it be captured?He didn't want to, but he heard that the treatment of prisoners there was not bad. It was an agreement between him and his wife to survive. As long as he could survive, everything was possible.

At this time, the man silently made a decision in his heart.After coming down from the watchtower, he quickly found his fellow countrymen and friends he met during the march.

The young knight galloped away, followed by a group of soldiers. He was the commander of the most elite Friedland spearmen and was deeply trusted by the Duke. This is the time for him to open the victory channel for the Duke.

"Drink, isn't it just some unknown weapons? In front of my heavy armor, everything is just a cloud."

The sound of shouting came from the battlefield, and he, who was originally riding a horse, attracted a lot of attention at this time. When the muzzle of the gun was turned in his direction, he even saw those small black holes.

"Even such a small crossbow arrow can break my armor. Watch me step on you."

chug chug. . . .The vibration of the muzzle of the gun followed by the tongue of flames, and the next second, the commander looked at the heavy armor on his body in disbelief. This was his ancestral heavy armor, which was said to be able to block the shooting of crossbows.

But now, the armor on his body has been beaten to pieces, and his whole body is stained red with blood. He turned his head and looked at the camp in the distance, with his arms raised high.

"Siege."

After uttering the last two words full of unwillingness in his life, the man fell heavily on the ground. He didn't know that on the other side of the fort, there were thousands of heavy cavalry charging towards here under the leadership of their commander.

Under the baptism of bullets like a torrential rain, they all fell into the dust, and as for the longbowmen, they were useless.Remote attack?Before they took out their bows and arrows, they were already beaten to pieces by the enemy's magic.

collapsed.It all collapsed. The Duke of the Principality of Friedland, the Duke of Stugalbo, watched the knights die one by one on the battlefield, and the soldiers fell to the ground in pieces.He knew that his situation was over.

The soldiers of the Principality of Friedland could not rush to the front of the trench at all, because the firepower preparation on the city wall could just shoot to the front of the trench. They only needed to form a cross-fire network with the soldiers in the trench on the city wall, and then Who can rush to the front of the trench?

"Hahaha, hundreds of thousands of troops, hahaha, it's just a joke. It's impossible to deploy so many troops on the battlefield. If you rush over one by one, that's killing the opponent and making battle achievements. I'm so stupid. Forget about such an important thing."

Crazy laughter came from the mouth of Duke Stugalbo. At this time, he fully understood what went wrong with him.But now is not the time to pursue this.

"Withdraw the troops, let the troops on the front line continue to attack, and the troops in the rear retreat quickly. No matter what, we must retain a part of the remaining force."

They can't be wiped out here, and there is still an enemy army in the rear sweeping his territory, and he has to drive all those troops away. Even if he can't regain the lost ground, he must also curb the enemy's subsequent attack on the city.

Today is Double Eleven, well, it should be fine for the author to take his daughter-in-law out for dinner, right?

Unrest in the North: Chapter 37 A bumpy road (two chapters co-published)

Two cups of hot tea and a plate of snacks. On a summer afternoon, drinking brewed black tea and tasting delicious pastries in the office can be regarded as a kind of enjoyment after work.

Antruth, traveling from Aalborg to the Earl of Odos, hoped that he could catch the last train, but was stopped by Zhuge Kongming.

I have to stay in the Earl of Ordos, but let him work here?Not counting, the main thing is to help Zhuge Liang sort out the battle reports sent from various places and help Zhuge Liang deal with logistical issues.

So here comes the question, with Zhuge Liang here, what analysis does the battle report need him to do?No, and Shirley's unit has logistical problems?Have it.Therefore, Antruth's biggest task is to follow Shirley's words, not to make the chief executive who is more in charge than him too tired.

So the daily afternoon tea became a compulsory course for the two of them. The pastries that Antruth had carefully prepared were not as delicious as Fuya's pastries from the royal family, but in remote places like the northern border, The taste is already considered good.

"Kong Ming, are you so assured that your strategy will go smoothly? Our troops are still too small. According to your plan, we are going to destroy the enemy's main force this time. Isn't it a bit too presumptuous?"

This is not because he doesn't trust Zhuge Liang, but because he is worried that he has played such a big game for his young lady, even using the young lady as a bait. If he really fails to achieve his goal, it will eventually attract the dissatisfaction of the young lady and bring him unnecessary troubles.

"Lord Antruth, all the lords, earls, and dukes now think that they have the talent of a general. Don't they know that the talent of a general is the way, and it is something that a brave warrior can understand. For a mediocre general, the most important thing is military strength. How many, how brave, such generals as Theodos, the Duke of Stugalbo, etc. can be found everywhere, and it is not worth mentioning."

"A brilliant commander should not only know himself and the enemy, but also make good use of his generals. He can observe the time of day, know the right place, understand life, predict things like a god, be familiar with the art of war, command thousands of troops, and play games with ease. There are only a handful of such generals. I'm afraid Miss It was just counted in. It was because she had something to do with herself."

Ignoring Antruth's bewildered face, Zhuge Liang continued, "However, this is the only way to know how to be a general."

"Huh? This doesn't count as understanding the way of a general, so what is the way of a general? You are a bit strict, Kong Ming."

Antruth picked up the black tea, and couldn't understand Zhuge Liang's words. The right time and place, life, but also predicting things like a god, familiar with the art of war, commanding thousands of troops, and playing games freely, doesn't that count?You must know that even in the entire Fafnir Empire, few people can reach the standard.

"It's a long story. Just speaking of the use of soldiers, the single word soldier is a lot of knowledge. Soldiers have visible soldiers and invisible soldiers. Visible soldiers hold swords and wield swords. Soldiers, invisible soldiers, the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, water and fire, the aura of mountains and rivers, all things and phenomena can be soldiers."

"You mean to use the right time and place to deal with the enemy? But our troops are not enough, so it is difficult to cause heavy losses to the enemy, so what..."

"You, as a general, naturally have to understand strange gates, understand yin and yang, know the location, observe the formation map, and understand the strength of the army. If you change the solar terms in this year and know the decline and prosperity of all things one by one, then when the rainbow disappears, When the thunder starts to stop, when the soil is wet and hot, when the smog is transpiring...so you know it well in your chest, integrate it in your heart, and use it properly, you can beat a million soldiers."

It was exaggerated. Antruth couldn't understand Zhuge Liang's meaning at all, but he couldn't help but ask, "Kong Ming, you don't understand all of this, do you?"

Looking down at the other party with a smile, the feather fan in his hand moved slightly, and said with a smile in his eyes: "What do you think?"

So what kind of existence did my lady summon, can it not be so scary.Suddenly, Antruth was not worried about whether his side could achieve the goal, but felt sad for the Duke of Stugalbo, what kind of person he was fighting against.

"Kong Ming, I have always had a question, and I don't know whether to ask it or not."

"Tell me. What is there to ask between you and me?"

There was a moment of silence, as if he was deliberating something, and then he said carefully after a while: "Look, economically, you have quickly restored the economy of each territory, and politically, you have formulated a temporary legal system for the territory, and at the same time stipulated The three chapters of the contract for the occupation of the territory. It has made the politics of many territories clear. In terms of diplomacy, you have also arranged for Li Huamei to go out to communicate with the orcs and elves, and you have also signed a trade agreement with the elves. Now that the military is so bottomless, you Can you tell me, is there anything else you don't know?"

Wei Wei was taken aback for a moment, this was the first time he had heard this, what could he not know, "Having a baby?"

###################

Retreat, retreat again, and then retreat. When they came, they were full of vigor and morale. It can be said that no one had the slightest doubt about the victory of the war.

The troops of the Principality of Friedland, which had retreated from the northern border, were retreating in embarrassment at this time. The only thing Duke of Stugalbo was lucky at this time was that Shirley's troops did not let the troops invading their rear because they were worried about their strength. to surround them.

"My lord, the front is the lower reaches of the Baishui River. It is summer now, and the river is relatively turbulent. I have asked people to find a suitable place to cross the river in advance. I believe there will be news soon."

As soon as the voice fell, a rustling sound came from the distant woods.That is the sound that can only be made when there are many people walking.The sound of da da da da also appeared.

The screams and the non-stop sound of rattling also reached their ears. This familiar sound made the soldiers of the Principality of Friedland immediately lose their fighting spirit.

"Aalborg's army is coming after us."

I don't know who yelled, and the soldiers of the Principality of Friedland, who were still in shock, panicked and rushed towards the rear like frightened birds.As for the orders of the commanders, who can hear them at this time.

The Duke of Stugalbo also had to follow along in the direction of the White Water River because of the fleeing of these soldiers. At this time, the scouts who went out to explore the route also returned here after exploring the route.Seeing the chaos, they found the Duke among the crowd.

"My lord, we have found a place where the current is relatively moderate. Now is a good opportunity to cross the river."

Seeing that the soldiers had been thrown into disarray by the sudden attack, Stugalbo immediately asked the calm soldiers to follow him and follow the scouts towards the crossing point.

Seeing the sluggish flow of water in the river, Duke Stugalbo felt uneasy, but the gunshots from the pursuers were approaching, and he could not allow him to think too much.

"Everyone, follow me and rush over."

In a panic, soldiers had already rushed over, so Stugalbo couldn't stay any longer, he slapped his horse, and rushed into the river quickly, followed by many noble knights.

Hurry, hurry, hurry up, as long as they cross the Baishui River, their danger will be greatly reduced, and with this river as a cover, they will not be able to pursue further.Hurry up.

The shock came from the upstream, and the white waves flooded the people in the river instantly like a rushing water dragon. Duke Stugalbo hugged his horse tightly, and ran to the opposite bank with difficulty under the impact of the rushing river.But at this time, there were only some remnants of soldiers who ran over by his side.

He looked at the desperate soldiers on the other side of the river, and then at the nobles who had already died at the bottom of the river.He felt sad for a moment, this is so fucking bullying.

Chasing, intercepting the river in advance to gather the river water, is this what a human should do?

The only fortunate thing is that the nobles who have not yet had time to cross the river gathered their troops and marched along the river, hoping to find an area suitable for crossing the river again.He vaguely remembered that there was still a bridge to pass over there.That was also the bridge they had crossed when they came.How can I be so stupid, I chose to find a place to cross the river in order to hurry.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because the bridge is close to the position of the enemy army. If you pass there, you need to go around for a long time, so he gave up there immediately.

"Ahhh, retreat, continue to retreat." Some of the nobles left, and some soldiers gave up resistance directly, watching Aalborg's troops rush over and classify all the disarmed soldiers as prisoners , Stugalbo's heart was bleeding.

Tens of thousands, tens of thousands, that's tens of thousands of strong male labor force, just like that, they became captives of others. The duke planted land for them and gave them food to eat. In the end, instead of resisting the enemy's attack, they met the enemy's queen. They immediately put down their weapons, and they all had to die, all of them had to die.

"My lord, we will talk about those soldiers later. Our main goal now is to go back and withdraw smoothly."

"Of course I know that Aalborg's troops are taking prisoners now, and we can't chase them so fast. We'll go back immediately. I don't believe that the water will hit us this time. They can still play with fire."

The Duke of Stugalbo looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers who followed him, no matter how angry he was, the people in front of him were the guarantee for his retreat, and he could not complain too much.

He raised his sword and led the troops towards the capital. Not far from them, a small team was ambushing on a hill. They belonged to Qin Liangyu's White Pole Army. The purpose of coming here was naturally In order to deal with the retreating Duke of Stugalbo.

"My lord, in front of you is the army of the Duke of Stugalbo. It seems that there are quite a few of them."

"Tens of thousands of people, it seems that the flooding strategy on the Baishui side has been a great success, but it's getting late, so they probably don't dare to cross this mountain overnight."
