Tang Feng walked slowly up the hill.

The young man in white was already waiting there, looking into the distance, looking at the tight defense line on the opposite side.

"Boss."

"Coming?"

Anthony turned around, a gentle smile on his face. It's like the breeze on an early summer morning, warm and comfortable.

The young man's gaze immediately fell on Tang Feng's right shoulder.

"How's the shoulder injury?"

Tang Feng's left hand caressed his right shoulder and shook his head gently.

There were layers of white bandages on it, but it was not as bloody as the ordinary wounded, and the injuries were not too serious.

"It's not a big deal, the doctor who accompanied the army also said, just some flesh wounds. I didn't touch the muscles and bones, and after a few days, when the wound scabbed over, it would be fine. ”

"It's okay."

Anthony nodded, looked at him again, and frowned.

"With your martial arts cultivation, it is somewhat reluctant to hold the position of President Qian. And you're not the type of general who charges into battle, sitting in the rear and directing the battle is the style that suits you best. There's really no need to take the lead and charge forward like yesterday. ”

Seeing Tang Feng's embarrassed and helpless wry smile, Anthony's heart moved and he patted his forehead.

"Okay, I see."

Tang Feng was stunned by him, but then he realized it in his heart.

Such an overly smart head on the stall is actually quite boring many times. There are some things that you don't need to say more at all, and the other party only thinks about it for a while, and you can guess anything.

Unlike when the war first began, Tang Feng, the thousand generals, and the thousands of battlefield recruits under his command have greatly improved their status and role.

Just like yesterday's battle, they were sent to the battlefield at the very beginning. Instead of standing far away in the rear, silently cheering for the comrades who fought bravely on the front line.

Of course, there are other reasons for this. For example, the veteran troops on the expedition have been attrition of varying degrees, but all of them are relatively serious, and General John's troop arrangement has begun to appear to be tense.

However, Tang Feng's effective training results, as well as the calm and proper command of the commander-in-chief in the only few appearances of his subordinates, and the excellent performance of the recruits who gradually faded from their rookie status, were the most important factors in winning the recognition of the upper echelons of the army and his colleagues.

Tang Feng knew that the opportunity to lead the army was not easy to come by, and he could step down at any time and retire from the position of President Qian. Therefore, every time he is sent into battle, he tries to do his best.

Rookie newcomers have little experience in the army, have great mood swings, and are extremely susceptible to external influences. played smoothly, and the performance was not much better than that of the battlefield veteran; If you encounter a little situation, you can also collapse and die in an instant.

Therefore, Tang Feng has to rush to the front of the team every time, so that everyone can easily see the brave figure of his commander, and direct the passion of the recruits in a positive direction.

After several major battles, Tang Feng's unit was able to stand out from several newly formed recruit units, and it was precisely because of his example that he took the lead and boosted morale.

Of course, the disadvantages of this approach are also obvious. The supreme commander of the unit rushed to the most dangerous front line, and his personal safety could not be guaranteed. To be noticed by the enemy, the implementation of targeted decapitation tactics can easily paralyze the entire chain of command and lead to the rout of the entire army.

Anthony lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it, I'll prepare a set of armor for you when you go back, which can help you improve your chances of survival a little bit." ”

Tang Feng hurriedly bowed down and thanked: "Thank you, boss!" ”

Anthony waved his hand and said with a teasing expression: "No thanks, you are my follower, you have to take care of it somewhat." Besides, a thousand total followers are indeed worth the cost of enveloping. ”

In addition to a helpless wry smile, what else could Tang Feng say?

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his heart, Tang Feng straightened his body suddenly, and dense beads of sweat were already oozing from his back.

"Listen to me, sir. Not so, General John he ......"

Tang Feng is not good at words, and this matter is not easy to explain. In addition, he was worried that Anthony would misunderstand, and in a hurry, he said it upside down, and he didn't even know what he was talking about.

Anthony laughed dumbly, not expecting a joke to cause such a big reaction from the other party. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Tang Feng's shoulder.

That hand was lightly touched, but it was as heavy as a mountain, which made Tang Feng unable to move, and also made his panicked and restless heart gradually calm down.

Anthony spoke slowly, in a flat and sincere tone.

"Tang Feng, listen to me, I was just joking just now, don't think too much. Really, I didn't mean anything else. ”

Tang Feng looked at his eyes, smart, pure and bright, as if there was a mysterious power, slowly soothing his flustered mind.

"I know that General John has a great appreciation for you, and has signaled it many times, both openly and secretly. That's what you just wanted to say, right? ”

Tang Feng's eyes widened, and his face was surprised.

General John wants to pry into other people's corners, so naturally he won't be in front of Anthony. Even deliberately avoid the crowd every time, especially the princess family. But this was only a hint after all, General John did not explicitly say the words to solicit him, and Tang Feng also struggled to know how to explain this to Anthony. Unexpectedly, the leader had already noticed it.

"You are not my servant, and neither you nor I have signed a deed of identity or anything like that. Even if you really want to go elsewhere, you don't have to be so cautious and honestly afraid. If one day, you feel that I am no longer qualified to be your leader, or if you have found a better way out, you can leave on your own, and I will not stop it. ”

Tang Feng, who was not good at words, turned red and was full of excitement. It seems that if he is a big beauty, he may have to make a promise at this moment.

Anthony was playful for a while, and couldn't help but joke again: "Actually, if you think about it seriously, General John is really a good choice." Your strength lies in commanding the war, and General John's position in the Aberdeen army is one man below and above ten thousand. If you are...... Hey, don't get excited, okay, okay, no kidding, let's get down to business. ”

Tang Feng looked at the young man with a tangled expression, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart.

Just because of the other party's sincere words, I was moved, and the idea of "death for the confidant" rose in my heart, who knew that he made a random joke and lost any atmosphere.

Anthony's face straightened, and he put away his playful demeanor.

"I called you over this time, mainly to learn from you about the combat attitude and mental outlook of those soldiers in Taranto. You've fought them face to face, so you should have a deep understanding of that. ”

Speaking of business, Tang Feng hurriedly cleaned up his mood and instantly returned to his meticulous and serious style.

"Taranto's soldiers, in terms of combat power, should be slightly inferior to our army. But they fought bravely, fought fiercely and resolutely, and surpassed our army. Coupled with the advantages of geography and command, we have been able to entangle with us until now. Riga's famous French, as expected, lives up to his name. ”

Although the two belonged to two opposing camps, Tang Feng did not hide his admiration and admiration when he talked about the enemy commander.

Anthony nodded, unimpressed.

"Frankie has a reputation for it, and it's not surprising that he has the means. Taranto's soldiers followed Duke Kochis to raise troops to rebel and rebel against the glorious empire, which was a desperate gamble and cut off the way back. If a mediocre general is in command, he only needs to encounter a little obstacle and setback, and after a few defeats, the morale of the army will immediately drop to the freezing point, and collapse and defeat are only a matter of a snap of a finger. However, under the command of Franky, the army not only did not collapse due to low morale, but provoked the fierce violence of the soldiers who could not retreat, and burst out with more powerful combat effectiveness. It seems that it is not feasible to try to make a fuss about the morale mentality of the enemy. ”

Tang Feng agreed.

General Riga's command and dispatch on the battlefield, that ability does not need to be said much. But outside the battlefield, the series of heart-attacking methods he arranged to attack the enemy and improve his morale also opened Tang Feng's eyes, and he only felt that he had benefited a lot.

"Are there many wounded in the enemy's formation, wrapped in gauze and bandages?"

Anthony asked suddenly.

Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways and recall carefully.

After a moment, he nodded, affirming Anthony's statement.

"That's right, from the beginning of the Battle of the White River, there have been sporadic wounded in the array of the Taranto rebels. It seems that they should all be minor injuries and will not affect combat effectiveness. After that, this proportion gradually increases. More than half of the troops who rushed out of the Silver Hill Valley yesterday were wounded, and the rest may have been wounded. In my guess, it should be the soldiers who were injured in the battles in the previous levels, and they were all sent to the rear defense line in a planned way. By the time we broke through the previous checkpoint and rushed to the next defensive position, these wounded had basically recovered their combat effectiveness and could go into battle again. ”

Tang Feng said as he secretly frightened.

Frankie's scheduling and arrangement have touched all aspects inside and outside the battlefield. Even some seemingly inconsequential details take a lot of thought and energy. These things slowly accumulate and produce enough effects to affect the victory or defeat of the battlefield.

Compared to it, his own side is more than a step worse. Regardless of how many soldiers were able to be rescued from the battlefield, even if they barely survived, it was thankful that they would not be a burden to the army, and no one ever expected them to play any role?

General John commanded a large army on a rapid march and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the Taranto rebels. It is impossible and unnecessary for the wounded to follow along, and they are slowly on their way to this side at the moment. But for the seriously injured who need to lie down and recuperate, whether they can have the life to come to the Aberdeen camp in the Silver Hill Valley depends on God's will.

Anthony turned and looked into the distance.

There were a lot of shadows on the fortifications over there, and I didn't know what the soldiers of Taranto were busy with.

"Those who are good at fighting have no great feats! Since the head-on battle, Frankie's style of play has been decent, and there is nothing unusual about it, but the situation is clearly tilting towards the opponent little by little. It's really hard to deal with the famous generals here! ”

"However, based on the observations and calculations I have made during this time, and what you have just said, I have verified my last conjecture, and I have a rough glimpse of the outline of Frankie's intentions and purposes."

Tang Feng's whole body was shocked, and his eyes were full of surprise and excitement.

Since the beginning of the war, there have been some incomprehensible movements of the Taranto rebels.

If you change the commander, maybe it is just some small tricks, you can ignore it, push it over with a superior strength, and directly crush the opponent's conspiracy and tricks into powder.

But since it is the famous mainland general Frankie who sits in the handsome position, these inexplicable places are likely to be the key points that determine the success or failure of the victory, and they must not be taken lightly. If you still move forward, you may have to go headlong into the deep pit dug by the enemy.

If you don't think through these mysteries, you will always be stuck in your throat, making it difficult for people to sleep. This is the same for both Tang Feng and General John.

"At first, I thought Frankie was trying to stall for time. Then he divided his forces to attack the province of Aberdeen, also to force the counterinsurgency army to retreat back to help, so as to relieve the danger of Taranto. However, blowing up bridges and short-circuiting and setting up cards to intercept them are contrary to this strategic goal. ”

Tang Feng listened to Anthony's argument and agreed very much in his heart.

In the circumstances, no one in the Aberdeen army thought so.

"If it is only for self-preservation, the goal has been successfully accomplished from the moment General John ordered the withdrawal of the troops. The series of measures that followed not only wasted the hard-won time to pacify and stabilize the hearts and minds of the locals, but also consumed extremely valuable troops. What is he trying to do? ”

Tang Feng frowned, following Anthony's train of thought in his mind, thinking hard.

"If I'm not expecting it, there's only one answer, and that's ......"

A fluttering sentence, but it was like a sudden thunderbolt in the clear sky, which blew Tang Feng's whole body up.

"What!? W-How is this possible?! ”
