Taranto's army slowly walked south.

It was a long way from the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and Aberdeen was so tired from the battle that he could no longer have the strength to catch up.

Although the new Burgundian reinforcements deceived the surveillance of Taranto, they arrived more than a day earlier than scheduled, and the consumption of horsepower was definitely not small. Moreover, the terrain here is not suitable for cavalry, and even if it catches up, it will be difficult to do much, so there is no need to worry too much.

Even so, Frankie sent out all the scouts to closely monitor the surrounding situation.

In the battle that just ended, Taranto only implemented a strategic shift, and it was not considered a defeat. But in the minds of all the high-ranking generals, including Frankie and Duke Kochis, failing to win a big victory was a failure.

Frankie's face was as usual.

He has a lot of combat experience, and this kind of result is far from a defeat, and it can't deal any blow to him. It's just that the mood is definitely not happy.

Comparatively speaking, Duke Kochis was much more lost.

It would be fine if there was no hope all along, but Frankie gave him a very tempting blueprint, which was even infinitely close to reality. Just as he opened his arms excitedly and excitedly, ready to embrace the victory, the victory was shattered in an instant like a dream, and there was not even a little time for a transitional buffer.

What's even more hateful is that it was precisely his own officers who kicked this shocking victory away.

Of course, that's a former officer. What happened to that person now, the Duke didn't bother to ask, anyway, it would definitely not be better.

"What do we do now?"

Duke Curcis asked weakly, and his interest was lacking.

"Let's go back to Austerlitz first. This war should be over for the time being, and the Duke should first stabilize the foundation, lay a good foundation, and train the army well, and then talk about other things. ”

For the military cultivation of Taranto's army, Frankie can't even get angry now.

The good situation is all thrown away at once, and it would be a lie to say that it can be handled indifferently. But Taranto's soldiers are not passive and slack, nor are they not not working hard, but they are so capable, what can Frankie say?

Drop the chain at a critical time, it's not once or twice. Usually, there are so many miscellaneous small problems that I can't count them.

His ability to organize and command was greatly admired by both the enemy and the enemy. But who knows how hard and depressed he has been in the past few months.

Taranto's army must be well trained and cleaned!

Otherwise, fighting with such a soldier is like strapping a blood on your body from time to time, and it will explode with a bang at any time. No matter how high his ability is for Frankie, he will let his subordinates be so pitted and pitted, and sooner or later they will be killed by them.

Duke Kochis had no objection to this.

This was a failure precisely because his own soldiers were not good, and Frankie's proposal was exactly what he wanted. But he was surprised by the other meaning of General Riga's words.

"In the general's opinion, Aberdeen and Burgundy will stop attacking us?"

In order to successfully capture the entire Aberdeen army, Frankie gradually collected the detachments sent to Aberdeen Province to harass and fight one by one before the decisive battle. The flames in the backyard of the fire were automatically extinguished, and the counterinsurgency army naturally had no reason to return.

On the other hand, although General John's men suffered heavy losses in the battle, Taranto's side was not unscathed. The arrival of the Burgundian cavalry greatly increased the strength of the counterinsurgency side. Now the balance of power between the two sides is probably even bigger than before.

In the mind of the Duke of Curchis, as long as the soldiers of Aberdeen and Burgundy are rested, they will inevitably attack again. Why is it that you are so sure that the other party will not come back?

But Frankie was so sure: "Don't worry, Lord Duke, they won't come." ”

……

Set up camp, bury pots and cook, treat the wounded, collect the remains of the soldiers who died in battle, and count the ...... after the war.

After a big war, there are countless complicated things big and small that need to be dealt with. Anthony, who was in charge of military affairs for the first time, was in a hurry for a while, and then slowly got used to it.

Of course, the duties of the commander of the first army are not limited to arranging troops and directing operations. All aspects of affairs, including logistics management, also require his agreement and determination.

A person who has never been in contact with military affairs can go from initial start-up to gradual adaptation to coping with it in a short period of time, and this kind of learning ability is simply against the sky. The Aberdeen generals were only shocked and speechless.

Thinking of the wonderful performance of the young man on the battlefield to turn the tide, the generals could only sigh in their hearts, the world of genius is really not something that ordinary people can understand.

General John was completely enlightened, and officially handed over the command of the army to Anthony in front of all the senior generals, and did a very thorough job of shaking off his hands.

Of course, he was not completely idle. Anthony sits in the Chinese army and handles military affairs. General John was outside to comfort the troops and visit the wounded.

Not to mention, this kind of face-saving thing, General John is more suitable and effective than Anthony.

After a period of hectic activity, things were finally roughly arranged. Anthony stretched, feeling tired.

The curtain of the door was suddenly lifted, and a general, clothed in drape, stooped into the tent. Before anyone arrived, hearty laughter was already rolling in.

"Brother Anthony, I'm back!"

One of the people who followed him also greeted Anthony: "Boss! ”

It was Lin Zhifeng who disappeared for a while.

The general was tall and burly, walking with a tiger's step, as if he was a natural soldier.

He was thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite heroic, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar to that of the Grand Duke of Mateus of Burgundy.

This Weiwu son was the second son of Grand Duke Mateus, the commander of the Tiger Cavalry Regiment, and the commander of this reinforcement, General Muller.

As Frankie expected, General Mueller arrived on a hurried march after receiving a message from Anthony asking for help. Especially in the last part of the journey, it took the boss's energy to get rid of Taranto's spies. By the time they arrived at the battlefield, General Muller and his Tiger Cavalry Regiment were too tired to do so.

When we got here, we were the most energetic.

They had come to the rescue, but now that the enemy had fled, Aberdeen's army was paralyzed on the ground, and they had to take up the work of guarding and defending.

So Mueller greeted Anthony and hurried away. Now that things are arranged, I rushed back.

Anthony saw him come in and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Fortunately, General Muller led the army to help in time, otherwise, we would have become prisoners of Taranto by now."

At the same time, he didn't forget to nod to Lin Zhifeng and said, "It's hard work." ”

Anthony was not in the slightest exaggeration in his words. Although the Tiger Cavalry Regiment had never seen the enemy in person, it was impossible for Frankie to lead his troops to retreat without their threat.

Mueller shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly, and did not take credit.

"What does my brother say, can scare the rebels away, that's your ability, brother, what does it have to do with me? hastily took over the military power under the overall disadvantage, and was able to be entangled with Frankie for so long, I would never have been able to do it. Don't you know, the Aberdeen soldiers outside are praising you. It's amazing, no wonder my old man admires you so much. ”

Mueller was honest when he said it.

He led the Tiger Cavalry Regiment under his command to hurry over, but the arrow was not wound and the knife was not unsheathed, which was really difficult to receive with peace of mind.

The admiration and admiration for the teenager is also sincere.

Unlike General John, Müller had seen the strength of Riga's army. The ability of the generals of the army has been baptized and tested by real war, and there is no room for a little vacation. Anyway, Mueller only saw admiration and admiration, and he thought that he couldn't compete with it at all.

That's just an ordinary general with a bad reputation, the famous general Frankie, who is only stronger than them.

Of course, the famous Riga generals were in command of a rabble of Taranto, which was a few discounts compared to the wolf-like Riga army. But comparatively speaking, Anthony took over Aberdeen in a worse situation than he did.

Even so, according to the Aberdeen officers, he beat Frankie a bit of a mess. If it weren't for the fact that the situation was too bad for manpower to recover, General Naga might not even be able to suppress him.

Mueller was a very pure soldier, and there weren't too many twists and turns in his head. I sincerely admire those who have the ability, and I don't hide my love. Not to mention, the old man of his own family was also very kind to this young man, and as soon as he received his message for help, he immediately sent himself over with the Tiger Cavalry Regiment.

The two sat down separately while chatting. Lin Zhifeng naturally came behind Anthony and stood still with his hands down.

Speaking of which, he has also made a lot of contributions.

It was this middle-aged man who rushed all the way to Burgundy Province to ask for help and brought the Tiger Cavalry Regiment to the battlefield in time.

Anthony and Muller hadn't even met once before, so they didn't have much of a friendship to speak of. Coupled with the fact that he had just experienced a major battle, Müller was very interested in the details of the battle between Aberdeen and Taranto, and the conversation naturally revolved around this.

From the swearing-in of Aberdeen to the victory of the army in the early days of the engagement; and then had no choice but to withdraw the troops and break through the card; And in the end, Taranto's picture of the poor dagger, the two armies fought a decisive battle.

The whole process can be described as twists and turns, and it is quite legendary. From Anthony's simple and prosaic narrative, it is as if a magnificent picture scroll slowly unfolds before Müller's eyes.

how Frankie designs the layout and lays down the traps; how Aberdeen fell into danger step by step; How did the soldiers resist bravely and finally get out of the crisis?

Müller was fascinated and excited, and wanted to be a part of it.

I admire and admire the young man in front of me who is more than a round younger than himself.

Although his description can be described as uneventful, the part about himself is even more passing, and he can save it. However, since the boy was able to speak so clearly and clearly, and because he had sent someone to Burgundy for help early, it was obvious that he had seen through the entire plan of the famous Riga general and realized the crisis that the counterinsurgency army would face, so that this series of measures was possible.

Not only did Muller secretly think to himself, if he were to be himself, would he be able to break through the fog like Anthony and see through Franky's huge layout?

With a slight spin in his mind, he quickly shook his head gloomily.

Frankie's plan is simple, it is nothing more than to gradually weaken Aberdeen's living forces, break their morale, and finally deliver a fatal blow and make a fortune in one fell swoop.

But this is when the mystery is solved, and the result is known. If you were in the situation at that time, it would not be so easy to guess Frankie's mind.

"Even though I don't have Brother Anthony, you have the brains to fight, and I can't fight that Frankie. But at least it won't be like that arrogant John, who doesn't forge ahead when he should be and doesn't keep when he should be conservative, which will only leave you with a mess that you can't clean up. ”

Mueller shouted loudly, his tone quite contemptuous and dissatisfied with General John.

Anthony smiled helplessly, but he didn't know what to say.

Strictly speaking, Mueller was not wrong, and Anthony could not excuse General John. But General John admitted his mistakes and handed over the command of the army very readily, which can be regarded as knowing his mistakes and correcting them. Anthony had just taken the throne and immediately talked to someone about his predecessor's faults, which seemed inappropriate.

Suddenly, a voice outside the door picked up the conversation.

"General Mueller is right in his criticism, and it's all the general's fault. Fortunately, Mr. Anthony managed to turn the tide and help my Aberdeen soldiers to persevere, and finally waited for General Müller's army to come to help. Otherwise, I, John, would have become the sinner of Aberdeen through the ages, and even death would not have been able to make up for the great sins I had committed. Both of them are benefactors of Aberdeen, benefactors of my John, please bow to the generals! ”

When the curtain was lifted, a figure flashed in and bowed deeply to Anthony and Mueller.

It was General John.
