Province of Western Asia.

The farther northwest went, the terrain was on an upward trend, the land was divided by the Gobi and the snow-capped mountains, and the offensive of the Nationalist army had stopped.

The debut of the Genoese National Army amazed military observers, and the repeated victories of this army, armed with new rifles and new methods of warfare, deserve serious study by military observers.

Sean chalked it down to technical progress and a bit of luck, and he didn't think his soldiers were braver than their opponents.

The Belisians apparently did not learn the lesson of the August 26 defeat and repeatedly increased their forces on the front in an attempt to save face, even believing that this was nothing more than a return to the glory of the Europas.

As a result of the refueling tactics, the Bilisians were empty and top-heavy in their rear, and their logistical supply lines were disrupted by General Grant's troops, and their rear garrisons were not even given the opportunity to engage Grant head-on.

On September 15, Sean also took advantage of a heavy rainstorm to launch a decisive attack.

In the heavy rain, the flintlock rifles in the hands of the Bilisians were literally burning sticks, and more than 50,000 people were annihilated in the first battle, and more than 70,000 were wounded or captured, and only a small number of cavalry escaped.

Although the Nationalist army also paid a great price, the battle was a great loss of vitality for the Bilisians. Sean took advantage of the victory and regained three provinces in one fell swoop, leaving only the most remote province of Snow Mountain still in the hands of the Bilisians.

In fact, the Nationalist Army was already exhausted, and the increasingly distant supply lines became a heavy burden. A lot of Sean's energy is occupied by logistics.

Unlike other armies, the Nationalist Army relied heavily on supplies from Genoa, and while the new rifle showed its great power, it also exposed its weakness - the rate of fire was too fast, resulting in an alarming consumption of ammunition, but it was unable to replenish ammunition by capturing it.

The guns and ammunition discarded by the Bilisians made Sean's non-descendant troops have no need to think about supplies at all. Instead of attrition, the forces of General Grant and General Dalho were the main forces in pursuit, and the only tactics Sean devised for them were to outflank and quickly maneuver to destroy the enemy's living forces.

In order to make the Genoese willing to bear the huge expenses of the national army's conquest, Sean had to make a decision to let Genoese goods extend northwest along the supply line, and he even collected his own taxes.

The reconstitution of local authorities in these areas that had been recovered by the Nationalist Army was almost entirely up to Sean alone, as the central government had already lost control of these areas, and the local powerful forces had been almost completely destroyed by the Bilisians.

At the same time, the power of the Genoese extended with the march of the National Army. They bought the local natural resources and valuable real estate from Sean at a very low price, and the money they paid was used for military spending, and they were all happy.

Adrian Major has demonstrated his amazing administrative organizational skills, sharing many of Sean's other jobs outside of the military. In a very short period of time, he formed semi-militarized regimes in various places, and many former Imperial officers who had moved closer to Sean were installed in the local area to serve as governors, mayors, sheriffs, and tax collectors.

Although it is far from the point where order has been truly restored, the political situation in various localities is improving in a good direction.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn is high and refreshing

It's a fertile oasis, but the meadows of the Northwest Plateau are already dyed with a thick layer of autumn color at this time.

The war has left it uninhabited, desolate and desolate, with herds of wild sheep and wild asses making it a paradise.

In the distance are magnificent snow-capped mountains.

This is Rose's hometown, and at the beginning of the war, Sean and Rose went to her hometown at the foot of the snowy mountains.

In order to facilitate access to the army, Rose wore a Genoese uniform, and she did not hide her feminine features, which made her look heroic.

A burst of gunfire sent a few fat wild sheep tumbling into the grass, and their companions fled.

Arthur Young rushed over with his men and stooped down to pick up the unfortunate wild sheep from the ground.

Sean put down his rifle and said happily, "Arthur, light the fire." ”

"Yes!"

While his subordinates were collecting firewood and collecting wild sheep, Sean and Rose galloped to the foot of the snowy mountain under the escort of Nelson and others.

The hometown in my memory is still the same, except that the houses are empty, leaving only the broken walls, and there are more than a dozen graves on the hillside behind the village, and from the humble steles, these dead people died almost the same day.

In the northwest, when the autumn wind has already been bleak, a cluster of light white flower buds swayed in the autumn wind.

Rose said that this is the spring flower, a flower unique to Sedia. It is born proudly in the snow, and when it blooms, it is whiter than the snow. When she withers, spring arrives, and its seeds will be scattered with the spring breeze.

It is a wildflower with an extremely strong personality that is not afraid of the cold.

"It's budding, and when the first snow falls, it's in full bloom, and then the flowers are gone, only the snow is proud. "My cowardly mother taught me not to follow her, but to be this spring flower." ”

Rose thought of her poor mother, and felt a little sad.

"Rose, you've always been an independent person, something that many people can't do. Sean said, "You're different." ”

"Sean, do you know what I admire most about you?" Rose asked back.

"I've always been in demand, rich and powerful. Sean joked, "Plus, I'm in good shape. ”

"No, you're the only person I've ever met who really sees 'equality' as a basic idea and does it naturally, rather than just talking about it. Rose said.

"My world is very different from this world. Sean pointed, "But the world is also evolving towards the world I want it to be." Absolute equality and freedom do not exist, they are only in an ideal country. Luckily, I'm also a participant in this world, and what I'm going to do is try to make them seem less ethereal. ”

"Is that what you're striving for?" asked Rose.

"With great power comes great responsibility. God has made me live again, and I want to make my life more exciting. ”

Thinking that he was talking about the fact that he had been seriously injured in the Northern Frontier, Rose shoved her hand into Sean's hand and smiled:

"I'm afraid you won't have a chance to stand with the line infantry in the future. ”

"Well, in fact, I also regret my life, such as when you pointed a gun at me. ”

"Hehe......" Rose was completely amused, and the sadness caused by the revisit to the old place also drifted away with the wind.

In the evening, a roaring bonfire burns, the fat lamb is grilled, the mutton fat sizzles, and the enticing aroma wafts through the air.

A few stars appeared in the ethereal sky like a wash.

Soldiers from Genoa danced their native dances, while local guides showed off their singing voices.

Rose took Sean's hand and walked into the tent, boldly taking off her military uniform and showing off her moving figure.

"What are you doing here?" asked Sean in surprise.

Rose sat on Sean's lap, lying on his shoulder, with silky eyes:

"My dear, you look at me like a hungry wolf during the day, so don't ask knowingly. I'm afraid you've been suffocated for most of the year, aren't you? Let me check it first. ”

"I'm a little nervous, where do we start checking?"

"Badass!"
