Chapter 212: Guerrilla Warfare
Anthony and Xiaobai were communicating and talking in the sea of knowledge, and in just a blink of an eye, they had completed their opinions. In the eyes of outsiders, he is also a little stunned.
Putting aside his worries about Paul for a moment, Anthony was able to sum up the chips he had in his hands today.
According to Xiaobai's suggestion, Anthony started a new "course" of alchemy after refining the weapon.
As he wondered, whether the distraction would affect his personal cultivation progress, he couldn't see the results for the time being. But these two "elective courses" are very practical and timely for him and the Brilliant Emperor ** team.
Needless to say, in addition to refining his first barely magical weapon, "Chaos", it also added an exceptionally strong hoplite to the empire.
The results and effects of alchemy were more extensive and far-reaching than the hoplites that terrified all enemies, and the number of soldiers who benefited was even greater.
The pills used by ordinary people to heal their wounds can be made up even by ordinary doctors. The threshold for refining this kind of medicine for treating flesh and bone injuries with alchemy is very low. Even a novice like Anthony has mastered it after a little two attempts.
Then it was like a cook in a frying cauldron, refining hundreds of low-grade pills at once. According to what Xiaobai said, if you become proficient in alchemy methods in the future and get a good Dan furnace, the output of this pill can be greatly increased.
Yes, these can only be regarded as "pills", and they are far from being called "pills". The elixir that Paul refined alone to lift the curse was a little more advanced, and it was barely considered an elixir.
Speaking of which, the refining of this kind of wound medicine seems to have no technical content—in fact, it does not have technical content—but this "technology" is based on the immortal cultivation system as a criterion. For ordinary people, it is a genuine immortal method. The effect is definitely not comparable to the work of ordinary doctors.
It was this healing pill that Anthony used to practice his hands that shocked the entire Brilliant Imperial Army.
The middle and high-ranking officers who knew the origin of the pill now looked at the young commander as if they were seeing an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver.
The general's mysterious methods are a little too much, and each of them has an amazing effect, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If he could have made a little more armor that can be called against the sky, coupled with this healing elixir, it would simply add multiple insurances to all fighters. Under this strong protection, even the most cowardly soldiers no longer have to worry about their worries, and dare to rush into the enemy's battle formation without hesitation.
An enemy who braves the rain of swords and arrows is a nightmare for any army. And an opponent who is almost completely unable to die, can heal quickly even if he is injured, and re-enters the battlefield is a nightmare that will never wake up.
Of course, that kind of longing can only be a longing for the time being. Limited by today's cultivation realm, Anthony can only have 300 sets of magical armor that is both strong and lightweight.
In the same way, this pill, which seems to have a very good effect, has not yet satisfied these high-ranking officers who are now full of "dreams".
But as Anthony's alchemy ability improves, their dreams will slowly get closer to reality step by step.
According to Xiaobai, when Anthony's alchemy level has been improving until he encounters a bottleneck, it may be an opportunity for his cultivation realm to improve again.
At that point, anything is possible!
Anthony, who was confident in himself, was surrounded by generals who had more confidence in him.
"General, the soldiers have finished healing and repairing. What to do next, please ask the general to instruct! ”
Although almost all the generals just now were very war-spirited, their willingness to fight was very strong. But in front of Anthony, he just honestly waited for the young man's order, and no one even mentioned the proposal to fight.
Just because they are already convinced of the young manager, I believe that he will definitely be able to make the most correct choice and lead everyone to victory after victory.
But Anthony did not wave his hand again and gave the order to attack, as everyone expected.
"Continue to rest in place, and at the same time send more reconnaissance personnel to keep a close eye on the movements of the Riga army."
Looking at everyone's disappointed eyes, Anthony only explained lightly.
"We still need to wait for people, some very important people."
The officers and generals were full of surprise, but they didn't ask too much, and turned their heads and gave the order.
They believe in their boss, and the young general has never let everyone down, let alone without purpose. But who will be the very important person he is talking about?
All the military forces of the glorious empire are all on the table. Whether they are friends or foes, they are all thrown into the whirlpool of this national war. Even if there are some that are not counted, they are all limited, and they cannot afford to be evaluated as "very important" by the general, let alone let the army wait patiently here.
The troops tightened on the outside and loosened on the inside, and continued to rest in place. But everyone is no longer interested in chatting, just seize the time to rest and try to recover their strength. They need to be physically adjusted to the best condition and be ready to rush at any enemy at the commander's command.
"Report!"
Not long after, a soldier trotted up to the generals and reported to Anthony with a fist.
"General Qiyu, there are four people outside who ask to see you, and they say that they are here at the call of the general."
All the generals looked out together.
I saw four figures standing in the distance over there, although they were far away, but the people present all had good martial arts cultivation, their eyes were not bad, and they could roughly see the physiognomy of the four people.
A tall, thin man with gray hair.
A burly, muscular man.
A middle-aged man with a rather elegant appearance.
A short, obscene-looking old man.
Could it be that this is the person the general is waiting for?
Judging from the momentum of these 4 people, it is obvious that they are all quite strong professionals. However, as long as they are not the top martial arts powerhouses of the fourth realm, in the battle of the large army of thousands of troops, only 4 people really don't play much role.
At least in their opinion, it is not worth it for the general to make the army wait here.
But Anthony dismissed all their speculations in one sentence.
"You're here."
……
Schindler commanded the Riga army, closely pursued the glorious Imperial force of more than 3,000 men in front, and bit them to the death.
In the eyes of others, they may think that this arrogant Riga general can't swallow the evil spirit of losing the first battle, and he does not hesitate to ignore the three major battlefields, leading an army of 20,000 to chase after him, and he must destroy this small army as soon as possible.
Only General Schindler knew in his heart that his move was not a battle of will.
Because all the military forces that the glorious empire can use have been taken out. And the two major battlefields of Aberdeen Province and Edinburgh Huaishui Pass, the situation is dominated by their own side. Any breakthrough in either place will cause a chain reaction that will plunge the glorious empire into an irretrievable abyss.
The only battlefield in central Burgundy, where the Glorious Empire had a slight advantage in numbers, was unable to advance or retreat due to the advance of the Brussels army. Although they did not attack, Burgundy did not dare to ignore it in the slightest, and had to place a large number of troops in the defensive line.
In addition, the reinforcement army under his command is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, which makes them frightened, and they are still afraid of taking care of themselves, where is there still the spare strength to support and take care of the two major battlefields of the east and west.
In this way, it should be the enemy who is in a hurry, not the side of the Riga Empire. He could calmly deal with the small but absolutely elite force in front of him.
According to the intelligence, the leader of this army is that Anthony, the nominal supreme commander of the Brilliant Emperor's ** team. If he can be captured alive or killed on the spot, the impact on the enemy will be devastating.
Another important reason for General Schindler's relentless pursuit was his interest in the armor of the enemy's 300 hoplites.
Even if the intelligence is inaccurate and exaggerated, the armor's performance is staggering.
Such a sharp knife is not used with a large army, so Anthony's level seems to be very limited.
The enemy's mistake is his chance. General Schindler, of course, must seize this opportunity tightly, and not let the fat that is close at hand fly away.
But things didn't go as smoothly as he imagined, and he slowly realized that it was not easy to eliminate this force of more than 3,000 people.
He really wanted to grab the boy named Anthony, grabbed him by the neck and questioned him:
Are you all gophers? Otherwise, how could he run so slippery, as if he just drilled into a cave and ravine, and disappeared in an instant.
Is this a war, or is it a game of hide and seek?
General Schindler held a heavy army, but he could only look around with his sword and look up to the sky and sigh.
No matter how strong you are, if you can't even touch a single hair of the enemy, and you have nowhere to use your strength, how much point is it to fight hard?
"Bring me the map!"
As soon as he stopped to rest, General Schindler opened all the maps of the province of Burgundy in his hand, trying to find out the topography of the area, in order to find a way to restrain the enemy's guerrilla tactics.
His soldiers whispered, "General, all the maps of the province of Burgundy are already here. ”
General Schindler froze and asked uncertainly, "Are you all here?" No more maps? ”
"No, General."
The soldier replied in the affirmative.
In fact, he would like to say that this is the third time you have asked the same question today!
Of course, unless he doesn't want his own life, in this case, he can only pretend in his heart.
Schindler didn't pay attention to the careful thoughts of his men, and he was now troubled!
"What did those people who drew the map do, didn't they say that they have been exploring and surveying here for two years, and why is the final map still so rough and rudimentary?"
In this complex terrain, the advantages of the location are maximized. In front of the enemy who was familiar with the terrain, the Riga army was like a clumsy giant, with an incredible strength, but with no place to use it, allowing the enemy to play around.
General Schindler's complaint is justified, after all, the map is not elaborate enough, and in this terrain, it is difficult to formulate and implement all battle plans.
But for the original business delegation, it was too harsh.
You know, in the name of commercial investigation, they secretly drew military maps.
Although the glorious empire of the time turned a blind eye to what they were doing, pretending not to know.
But in any case, both sides have mutual concerns and fears, and the mapping can only be done in secret.
As a result, the accuracy of the map will be greatly reduced. In addition, most of the Burgundy provinces have complex terrain and are sparsely populated. In an area like the one where the army is located now, the roads are rough, and there is not even a city or a large human settlement nearby, so how can a business delegation spend so much effort on this?
No matter what, the battle will still be fought. As for how to deal with this army led by Anthony, General Schindler grabbed his hair and fell into deep thought.
