Chapter 210: Victory in the First Battle

General Schindler was angry, and the consequences were serious!

As the top-ranked general in the Riga Empire, although he is not as famous as Frankie and other famous "Riga Six Famous Generals" in the mainland. But in terms of actual ability to command the army, he is not much inferior to them.

Of course, it is impossible to determine exactly whether there is more or less of this.

But in any case, Schindler was a fairly powerful general, there is no doubt about it. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed commander of this army that broke into the interior of the glorious empire, in order to break the current stalemate, or even seal the victory completely.

The army under his command is strong, and he is very confident. And the opponent is a glorious empire that is notoriously weak, and he doesn't think the task is so difficult.

It's just that there are many different ways to win a war, and compared with a general like Frankie, who is dedicated to the public and disregards his own honor and even safety, Schindler has more of his own little ninety-nine in his heart.

In battle, people will always die, and even the victors will suffer from themselves. If you can let others sacrifice and fight to the death instead of yourself, then of course it is the best. Even if you take the lead, storm the enemy's tight defense line, and attract the most firepower, your own descendant army will brazenly dispatch and win the victory in one fell swoop, which can also relieve a lot of pressure.

Such a good thing is certainly not something that can be encountered casually, but in General Schindler's view, the situation is just like that.

That is the army of the province of Brussels.

Isn't it a matter of course for a local force that defected to the battlefield and took the initiative to surrender to the new master, and to strive for more rewards and higher positions of power after the war?

Look at the Grand Duke of Kochis in Taranto, who even gave up the command of the army and put Frankie under full command of the battle.

I think the same should be true of Grand Duke Finney.

Then the Brussels army was the first to attack Burgundy, and Schindler's Ribberginer was waiting for the opportunity to move. Once a fighter is spotted, it is the best choice to immediately deliver a thunderous blow to crush the enemy's line.

He had a good idea, but unfortunately Grand Duke Finney did not fulfill his wishes.

The army in Brussels can be pinned down, it can defend, but it just won't take the initiative to attack.

Schindler couldn't understand what this old mind was thinking, since he chose to betray, his former colleagues are the current enemies, should he still care about the old feelings?

In any case, the people of Brussels could not count on it. Grand Duke Finney didn't eat it, only saying that it was agreed with General Frankie before, and anyone who wants to have an opinion can talk to Frankie.

The war situation is like fire, Schindler does not have the leisure time to slowly grind his teeth with the other party. As for finding Frankie, of course, it is not possible.

After a vain delay, in the end Schindler could only lead his descendants into the province of Burgundy.

In the eyes of the people on the mainland at that time, there was almost no suspense about the outcome of this world-renowned war between the two countries. Even though there were a few twists and turns in the middle, the general trend was still that the Riga Empire had an overall advantage. But when the dust settled, the result was completely beyond people's imagination.

Later, some military experts analyzed that one of the main reasons for such a reversal was the Riga Empire's contempt for the enemy and the preservation of itself.

For example, General Dino attacked Huaishui Pass, regardless of the casualties of the soldiers, and launched it with all his might. I am afraid that in the first tentative attack, this Xiongguan has been knocked down.

The period when General Schindler was entangled with Archduke Finney and stopped waiting was widely regarded as another crucial turning point in the national war.

Because he gave a teenager precious time to toss and turn, and achieved the opportunity for the teenager to rise from a small remote country in the northwest and go to the most high-profile mainland stage.

General Schindler did not have the ability to be a prophet of the future, and he only felt very unhappy now, and needed to vent his anger. And the target, of course, is the people of the glorious empire.

But after all, he was the commander of an army, and Schindler had not yet been blinded by the rage and rushed like an enraged bull towards the enemy's fortified walls. Instead, after a calm analysis, he waved his army and attacked the borders of the province of Burgundy.

Huaishui Pass is a hard tortoise shell, which has been run like an iron barrel by Matt Sias, and it is not easy to attack even from the inside.

Therefore, he chose Burgundy.

"What the hell is this place, the road is so hard to walk!"

Even though he had commanded many battles and experienced a lot of terrain of all types, Schindler couldn't help but curse the road conditions in Burgundy.

"Report! Enemy traces were found in the front, the enemy was about 200 people, infantry. Seeing that our army turned around and ran, the forward general had sent troops to pursue. ”

Schindler nodded, in understanding, and waved the herald down.

Presumably it was the enemy's reconnaissance team, and in such a place, light cavalry reconnaissance was not as convenient as infantry.

There was no problem with the striker's response, and Schindler did not ask for details, believing that his men would be able to handle such minor problems. It's just that the enemy's army may be gathered not far away, and a big battle is about to begin.

Schindler was ready to vent his anger with the flesh and blood of his enemies.

"Someone's coming!"

Schindler pondered for a moment, then summoned the herald again, passing on the instructions one by one.

The 20,000-mile army then moved and changed from marching to alert.

Although the formation was changing, the speed of the march did not decrease much. The Riga army is well trained, and it is true that it is not blown out.

After a while, the herald of the vanguard ran to the middle army again.

"Report to the general, the striker lost the first battle, fell into the enemy's trap and ambush, and lost more than 1,000 soldiers."

"What!?"

Schindler stood up, staring at the herald with wide eyes. He stepped forward and snatched the battle report from his hand.

Compared to the 20,000 troops, the loss of 1,000 soldiers was not enough to surprise Schindler. However, the impression of the glorious empire was very low in combat effectiveness, and it could only rely on Xiongguan to barely resist the hundred battles of the Riga Empire. Now you can defeat your own troops in the field?

The battle report was written by the forward general himself, and General Hind frowned as he read it.

It turned out that when the enemy's traces were discovered and the forward sent troops to chase after them, there had been a skirmish between the two sides. The result was quite unexpected, and it was the Riga army that suffered a small loss.

The forward general was ashamed and annoyed, how could he swallow this breath, and immediately personally led more than 2,000 strikers to rush forward.

The opponent is defeated, and the fight is retreated. Just as the forward general was about to encircle and annihilate this small group of enemies who had made him lose face, a large group of soldiers and horses suddenly struck out from both flanks, disrupting his formation.

After a fierce battle, the enemy quietly moved away before the arrival of the Riga army, which followed them. At this time, more than half of the more than 2,000 strikers have been lost.

Judging from the battle report, the main reason for the defeat was that the striker was in ambush. However, the enemy's army is only about 3,000 people, and even if the two flanks are outflanked and such a result is achieved, its combat effectiveness is definitely not under its own.

When did the Glorious Empire come out with such a fighting force?

Seeing that the battle report highlighted that there was an extremely strong hoplite in the enemy's formation, General Schindler's heart moved.

He had already figured out where this force had come from.

Has the boy who was about to be blown into the sky by the glorious empire already run here?

Schindler's eyes flashed, and then he shouted:

"Pass the order, and the whole army will speed up!"

……

The commander of the Riga army was shocked and suspicious, and the glorious imperial side as the victor was excited.

Because they have just won against the army of the Riga Empire!

The significance of this matter is so great that the people who are not the Brilliant Empire, and the army of the Brilliant Empire cannot understand and appreciate it at all.

The warriors who had just experienced the fierce battle sat casually in twos and threes, talking to each other with great interest.

The officers only looked at it with a smile and did not stop it.

A tall man with a scar on his face had a loud voice, and he spoke like a loud shout.

"I've always heard people say how powerful and powerful the Riga army is, and I still believe it. As a result, a pair today, I bah! That's it, there is no more head than Lao Tzu, and there are no more than three hands. ”

A black-faced warrior next to him also chimed in: "That's right! It's better to be famous than to meet, it's no different from others. After defeating the battle, he also hugged his head and scurried, crying his father and calling his mother. If it weren't for the swiftness of their receiving troops and the order of the commander to retreat, I would have been able to cut off another Riga dog's head. ”

The scarred man grinned, proudly raised three fingers, and said with a smile: "I killed three." ”

When the surrounding warriors heard this, they all expressed their admiration.

"You're a great guy, I'm not as good as you, and I only killed one."

"I'm one too."

"I have two heads, but you're still one less."

Several people talked about it, and each reported his own achievements. There is one, there are two. In the last comparison, it was actually the scarred man who was the most brilliant.

Of course, there are also people who don't get anything.

The black-faced warrior patted the shoulder of his honest-looking companion and comforted, "Don't be discouraged, brother. Today you were just a little less lucky, and as soon as you got on the field, you met a strong professional and you were knocked to the ground before you could make a move. You have a good rest, and when you recover from your injuries, you will get back what you owe today. ”

The people gathered together were all in a small team, and everyone trained and fought together, which had established a certain amount of affection, and they also spoke comforting at the moment.

"yes, brother, it's just a little bit of bad luck, it's not your fault. Even if it were me, it wouldn't end up a little better than you. ”

"yes, yes!"

"Brothers, don't worry about not having the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, follow the general, and the victory will only come one after another. When the time comes, as long as you seize the opportunity, you are not afraid that you will not have military achievements. ”

"The one you're facing seems to be a high-level Black Iron Fighter, right? I see you got a punch in the chest and vomited blood. ”

"It's actually a high-level black iron? Brother, it doesn't matter what hurts, right? ”

Everyone looked at the honest warrior with concern.

The warrior looked a little introverted and shy, reached out and scratched the back of his head, and said rather embarrassedly, "I'm fine, the wound is all right." ”

"Impossible, right? How long has it been, so soon? You kid don't want to hold on, if your body collapses, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

Everyone didn't believe it.

They were all beaten and vomited blood, and their chest and abdominal organs must have been injured, how could it be so easy.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the honest warrior was a little anxious.

"It's true, I didn't lie to you. As soon as he took the wound medicine he received from the chief, the pain in his chest had completely disappeared in less than a cup of tea. I couldn't believe it at first, but I tried to do a few big moves, and I really didn't feel hurt at all. ”

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he also stood up and made several powerful slashing movements.

"So amazing?"

The warriors were amazed.

If you don't believe it, many people have seen the injury of the honest warrior, and now his performance really doesn't look like an injury.

If this is true, then the effect of the wound medicine distributed above is a little too amazing.

Even if the magicians were to heal it, the result would probably be more or less that!

But how many magicians are there in the army who have mastered healing? This kind of injury, which can be slowly recovered in a few days, will use the precious magical resources of the army.

"In this way, as long as it is not a serious injury with broken menstrual bones, if you take the injury medicine, you can get better immediately?"

A warrior's eyes lit up, as if he wanted to slash himself with a knife to see if the effect of the medicine was really so magical.

The scarred man was also speechless: "I have seen the wound medicine distributed by the officers to the wounded, which is contained in a large bottle, and each person takes a bottle of distribution, but it is only a pill the size of a bean." Looking at that posture, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them in one bottle. Just what we saw was enough for all of us here to use it 3 or 4 times. Tut~"

Everyone knows what he means.

On the battlefield, good wound medicine is a life-saving guarantee. With these life-saving pills, everyone will work the battlefield in the future, and there will be less worries.

The black-faced warrior looked sluggish, and said with a cry in his mouth: "These pills have a remarkable curative effect and are extraordinary. Is what they say true? ”

The honest warrior looked at his expression and asked incomprehensibly, "Big brother, what did you say?" ”

The black-faced warrior came back to his senses and said excitedly to everyone: "I have a friend who is a member of the General's Guard. He once told me that 300 of their guards, whether they were injured or not, were given 2 pills each. At that time, he blew the pill into the heavens and the earth, saying that as long as people did not die, one pill could be eaten to save his life. No matter how serious the injury is, you can jump up and go to the battlefield again the next day. ”

"At the time, I just thought he was bragging!"

Everyone understood what he meant, and their eyes lit up.

If they had listened to such a description a quarter of an hour ago, they would have thought that the guards were blowing nonsense, just like the black-faced man. But after looking at the personal experience of honest soldiers, the thinking of these people has changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

Since the healing medicine of ordinary wounded people is so powerful, it is not surprising that the pills distributed by the most elite guards are no matter how miraculous they are.

With such a miracle medicine in hand, it is called no worries!

The scarred man suddenly punched the palm of his other hand, and said hatefully: "Although things are good, only the general's guards can get them." They were lucky enough to follow the general and Tang Fengqian at the earliest. If Lao Tzu was also in Aberdeen at the time, and also went with him to Taranto, he may also be a member of the Guards now. Alas~"

Everyone froze when they heard this, and the brilliance in their eyes instantly dimmed.

Yes, those 300 Aberdeen soldiers followed the general to fight in the south and the north, and their achievements were great and prestigious. Now he has become the general's guard, wearing the best armor and equipment, carrying the best healing medicine in his arms, and enjoying the envy and worship of everyone.

For all this they have gained, the soldiers of other units are envious, but they are not jealous. After all, people are also fighting for their lives one step at a time.

But to explore the roots, everyone is not much worse than the 300 Guards. The only thing missing is luck. People followed behind the general early, and this is the most fundamental gap.

Alas~

The surrounding warriors were like the scarred man, and sighed helplessly.

Luck is something you really can't force on.

The honest warrior didn't understand why everyone suddenly lost their spirits.

"What's wrong with everyone? As long as we obey the general's orders, fight bravely, and kill the Riga, we may be able to become the guards in the future. ”

Scar Dahan and the others seemed to see the guiding light that suddenly appeared in the dark, and their hearts lit up.

That's right! With the ability of a general, wherever the banner goes, the enemy is not invincible. As long as you keep up with the pace of the general, and wait for great military achievements, are you afraid that you will be buried by disadvantage? Look at the former Aberdeen rookie Xinding, and now the glorious Guards know how bright the future is.

Besides, with only 300 guards, where is it worthy of the identity of a general, I am afraid that it will have to be expanded in the future. Our 3,000 men are the first to follow after the Guards, and they are a big step ahead of the other brother units.

In time, who can be sure that these people will not become the envy of others.

The warriors who heard it around were like a fire burning in their hearts, and they all rubbed their fists, eager to turn back immediately and kill the 20,000 liga people behind them.

As for the previous reverence for the Liqiang army? It has long been thrown into the depths of the endless ocean.
