Chapter 6: Killing Generals
When the first rays of sunlight at dawn fell into the Valley of Grace and the surrounding fields, hills, and mountains, I led a group of 3,000 light cavalry, all of whom changed into the tattered armor of Karl's troops, and took advantage of the early morning mist to quickly pass through the narrow and winding mountain roads between the hills of the Valley of Grace and attack Carlos's barracks.

Carlos' forces apparently did not expect a surprise attack at this point, and it was only when we approached their makeshift fence that the enemy sentry sounded its first sharp sentry.
I ordered the light cavalry to pull their horses at a dozen or so points in front of the fence, and then let the cavalry all take their bows, put their arrows, and light their fires, and wait for my orders.
When I observed that the enemy was still in a panic, I immediately gave the order: fire!
Whoosh!
Thousands of fire arrows burst out of the string, with a pleasant whistling sound, piercing the tranquility of the early morning, and then, like countless brilliant sparks, rushed into the enemy's camp tent, instantly igniting into a sea of fire.
But the enemy quickly recovered from the panic, and quickly turned his anger on us—about 10,000 mixed cavalry gathered at once, and under the command of a young cavalry general, they pounced on me in a furious manner!
But as soon as I had finished firing the firing arrows, I ordered the whole army to turn around and gallop towards the circuit.
The sound of the enemy's hurried horses' hooves followed us closely, and the angry cries were still in our ears - catch them!
These defeated bastards are fucking damning!
It's just going to be sneaky!
Grab Carl's wreck, chop it up, and feed it to the pigs!
……
But with a wave of my hand, my cavalry suddenly accelerated, and at once threw the enemy some distance away, not at all like a tired and newly defeated army, but the enraged enemy army was still madly riding in pursuit.
When our army was able to cross the narrow valley road of Fengrong Valley, I stopped the thunder department at this time, and ordered the horses: Return to the horse! Array!
The three thousand cavalry immediately turned their horses' heads and formed a tight wedge formation in the face of the rapidly approaching enemy.
After the enemy cavalry entered the middle of the valley road, I suddenly pulled out the unknown name on my waist, raised the blood-red sword body into the air, and shook it slightly.
I saw that on the hills on both sides of the valley road, two black arrows as dense as rain suddenly shot out, with a sharp whistling sound projected on the enemy cavalry that had entered the Fengrong Valley Road, in a scream one after another, the light cavalry that bore the brunt of the arrow fell from their horses, and the heavy cavalry in the center was also affected by the light cavalry on both wings and fell into chaos.
But the enemy's young cavalry commander rode forward, waved his ten-meter golden spear, picked off the men and horses that stood in the way, and used the fierce impact of the heavy cavalry to force a way forward from the chaos, and galloped in our direction with great rage!
The destructive power of the enemy's heavy cavalry is terrifying, and once they are allowed to go head-to-head with our 3,000 light cavalry, our army may be immediately routed in a single contact!
As the enemy's heavy cavalry gets closer and closer, the pressure on our army is also increasing, and it seems that there is a kind of power that can make our army's tight formation disperse in an instant! Such a powerful momentum, worthy of the imperial tiger hammer!
But I sat firmly on Lei Bu, the expression on my face did not waver in the slightest, and the corners of my mouth instead pursed a casual smile. My performance also restored the confidence of my subordinates, and the morale of the heavy cavalry, knocked down by the thunderous hooves of the horses, quickly recovered.
When the enemy approached a certain distance, I suddenly let out a cold shout: Get up!
A crisp popping sound suddenly sounded from the valley road, and dozens of finger-thick steel wires buried in the ground bounced up together, half a foot above the ground, and tightened into a straight line!
The momentum of the enemy's heavy cavalry suddenly suffocated, followed by a terrible neighing sound of horses, which hit the heavy cavalry in front and fell off their horses, and the heavy cavalry behind also collided with the horses in front of them that stumbled or knelt down because they couldn't stop the momentum......
In an instant, people turned on their backs, and the heavy cavalry who fell to the ground could no longer get up, and even some soldiers were trampled to death by the iron hooves of the war horses!
At this time, two teams of heavy infantry with shield guns suddenly poured out from behind the hills on both sides of the valley road, lined up in two lines and squeezed in the middle, and the silver spears reinforced by Vivian's magician regiment with magic and more than ten meters long became the soul seduction order of the heavy cavalry, and the blood holes were pierced in the heavy cavalry, and some even penetrated directly from the part of the heavy cavalry helmet facing the door!
The tragic killing scene chills the viewers, and the strong smell of blood makes the listeners want to vomit!
The 3,000 light cavalry I led also launched a frontal attack at this time, further expanding the enemy's bleeding wounds and forming a frenzied massacre of the enemy on three sides!
And the young cavalry general of the enemy army had already crossed the tightrope, and the spear in his hand pierced out like lightning, picking up the light cavalry of our army in front of him one by one, and then rushed straight in front of me!
I'm Addams. Qiba, the Black Eyes Banner Yin of the Imperial Tiger Legion! The flash dragon in your hand will drink your blood today!
After the young cavalry general finished speaking, he grabbed the belly of his horse and stabbed me with the spear in his hand!
I, Alexander! I spiraled up the name, with the momentum of the take-off, easily swung the spear and dragon of Adams to the side, and then said coldly, surrender! You've already been defeated, so why bother to kill yourself?
King Meinster! No wonder...... There are no cowards who surrendered to the Imperial Tiger!
Kill Your Highness, and I can still turn defeat into victory!
After Adams finished speaking, he picked up the flash dragon in his hand again, turned into a golden flying rainbow, and struck me bravely with the blazing wind!
I was about to swing my sword again to dispel the dragon, but suddenly I had a creepy feeling, and when a thought flashed in my heart, I pointed at it casually, and pinned it on my neck.
At this moment, the golden rainbow that had been stabbing at my chest suddenly disappeared, but the spear tip entity of the flash dragon stayed three inches in front of my neck, hitting the body of my unnamed sword, making a piercing metal clash sound, and striking out a string of flying sparks!
I could even feel the burning sensation as the sparks swept through my neck!
Flash Gun Skills! Atin. Burnet's immortal marksmanship! You're actually the descendant of the Flash Spear Dragon General?! I was slightly startled, and I didn't dare to be careless with the opponent in front of me.
Atin. Burnet is a dragon rider of the Fire Dragon Kingdom, a neutral country in the northeast of the southern continent of St. Lunnan. The Fire Dragon Kingdom is the only country in the Southern Continent that has Flying Dragoons, because the Genting Plateau, where the Fire Dragon Kingdom is located, is located at the southern foot of the Flying Dragon's Habitat Interception Mountain Range, although the kingdom has a population of less than 300,000, it has the strongest army in the Southern Continent - the Flying Dragoons. And Atin. Burnett is one of the four great dragoons of the Fire Dragon Kingdom, and has created a terrifying marksmanship known as the Vanishing Dragon Lance, the Flash Gun Technique. It was this Extreme Shinno's spear that Adams had used before!
No one can avoid a sudden blow from the Gunman's Flash...... Adams pulled the dragon back and said in an unsteady tone, he seemed more surprised than I was, thinking that the blow that he didn't take by surprise would be missed.
But he didn't hesitate any longer, and the flash spear combat technique was launched again, only to see the spear in his hand suddenly accelerate from the standstill, and then the body of the spear suddenly and strangely disappeared in front of me!
I don't dare to have the slightest slackness, and use the way of the sword to control the name
Throw it out at the same time!
Under the traction of my magic sword, the departing Weiming shuttled through the void like a god's finger, bursting out a series of sparks and continuous crisp sounds in different directions - at this time, Weiming was engaged in a fierce exchange with the invisible and seemingly invisible flash dragon!
Suddenly, I rushed forward, and in the moment's astonishment, I had already passed by him, and the unknown suddenly appeared in my hand, and then turned into a storm of lightning that pierced Adams's chest in an instant!
At this moment, the body of the flash dragon suddenly appeared, the tip of the cold gleaming spear staring at a distance of an inch from my left side of my face, and a few neatly cut strands of hair on my body fell at the same time.
Adams withdrew the shining dragon with his right hand and placed it on the saddle in front of him, his left palm pressed his heart tightly, the expression on his face was painful and desolate, and his gaze was full of unwillingness, disbelief and incomprehension.
As he slowly raised his head to look at me, his gaze turned to respect for his powerful adversary, and then he said with difficulty: "It is worthy of King Alexander...... To be able to fight against an opponent like you, I am still honored......
After a pause, Adams looked at the dragon in his hand with a kind of pity, and then continued: "King Alexander, I have something to ask for...... This Shining Dragon is one of the ten soldiers forged by the Dwarves, and it is my trusted friend of Adams, who will accompany me in my battles for the rest of my life...... I hope that after my death, Your Highness will be able to find a master for the Shining Dragon, and not bury the famous gun......
I promise you! I replied solemnly.
Thank you...... I have no more regrets......
When Adams received my reply, he jerked his left hand, which was crushing against his chest, and blood spurted wildly, sending out one of the last hoarse cries of grief from his throat: General Carlos...... Adams can't go thousands of miles with you anymore...... Please forgive Adams for not keeping his promise to you and leaving before you...... Betty, my love! Forget about me and seek your new life and happiness as if we had never known each other......
The voice turned from high to low, and finally stopped abruptly, and Adams turned his head away, already out of breath.
I glanced at the corpse of this indomitable young cavalry general, and said with regret in my heart: It is a pity to kill such a general......
Then he removed the dragon from him and handed it over to my personal bodyguard, Loppet, for temporary safekeeping—a ten-meter spear carved with dragon patterns around it, with the tip of the spear as the dragon's head and the tail of the spear, swinging like a golden dragon flying in the wind. And it was able to have such a fierce confrontation with Weiming without any damage, which shows that the quality is excellent. This is a peerless weapon, and I will follow Adams's last wish to find the Lord for it.
The remaining enemy cavalry could no longer resist our troops, and all but a few of them fled to avoid destruction. I ordered the whole army not to chase down the fleeing enemy army, but to do all the work of cleaning up the aftermath, and when the enemy army appeared in my sight, I had successfully led my men back to the fortress of Fengrong Valley.
In this battle, our army annihilated more than 8,000 enemy cavalry and paid the price of less than 1,000 casualties, which was the first victory won by our army since the start of the war between the two sides, thus sweeping away the haze of repeated defeats and greatly boosting our army's morale.
I finally achieved the purpose of this battle.
But what I did next surprised both the enemy and the enemy.
I did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and launch a general battle, but the whole army retreated to the fortress, avoided the battle, and ordered the engineer battalion to build a large number of buildings, build fortifications, and prepare for a long defense.
In the face of several provocative and scolding battles of the Carlos army, I turned a deaf ear, ignored them, and strictly ordered my subordinates not to be agitated. The enemy's insistence on not fighting against our army was not the main point, and the enemy army, which had no choice but to withdraw its troops, had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
So the two sides confronted each other from afar, and time passed quietly in this strange atmosphere of calm and tranquility on the surface, and turmoil and tension in the dark.
Ten days later, I still did not take any action, and did not seem to be in any hurry to regain the lost territory, intending to wear off the enemy for a long time.
There were also people in our army who expressed dissatisfaction with my passive approach, believing that I was cowardly and completely an act of demoralizing others to destroy their own prestige, and the first to attack me was Carl and several of his bannermen.
Karanji led the three bannermen to my tent, and as soon as they met, he said bluntly: Marshal! Now that our army has won the first battle and its morale is high, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue it, instead of retreating here and stagnating!
I have my own opinions, you can do your part! I replied coldly.
Could it be that the marshal was afraid? Don't you dare to fight because you're afraid of Carlos?
Could it be that the King of Meinster's previous brilliant achievements were obtained by sneak attacks? Except for a sneak attack, didn't the marshal have the courage to confront Carlos head-on? Karangie pressed forward step by step, and his fierce tone completely lost the sense of stability that he had in his previous youth.
Cal! Watch your words! Alec didn't hold you accountable for your failures, and you still dare to be presumptuous?
At this time, Li Binglan came out of it, and her cold appearance, awe-inspiring momentum, and slightly angry expression immediately suppressed Karanji's arrogance.
Sister...... Generalissimo...... I'm not...... In front of Li Binglan, Caranji became atmospheric and couldn't take a breath, muttering that he couldn't organize the sentences he wanted to express.
Karl's bannermen were even more silent.
Carl, you're so much of a stumbling block! Usually, you look quite stable, but on the battlefield, you have become arrogant and aggressive, and you regret your mistakes after repeated defeats! If your eldest brother is in heaven and knows that his younger brother has become so unreasonable, how disappointed do you say he will be in you? Li Binglan said lightly, the thin frost covered her cheeks.
Eldest brother...... He's been gone for years...... I will take the responsibility for my past failures! But this time I don't think I'm wrong! There's never been a better time to defeat your enemies! The opportunity is fleeting, and if we miss this opportunity to win with the enemy's morale, I am afraid that our army will no longer be able to defeat the enemy in the future!
Isn't it because the marshal took the initiative to give up favorable opportunities and fell into the predicament of passive defense because he was afraid of defeat and had no intention of recovering the lost ground? If the marshal is timid, the last general is willing to take the initiative to ask for help and fight as a vanguard! Karangie's voice turned from faint to strong, and finally almost to shouting.
A chance to win? Do you think now is our chance to win? What is Morale? Morale is built on strength! Do you think Carlos is tofu? Knocked down by you? One insignificant defeat can hit the enemy's morale? You also don't want to think about who achieved the current favorable situation? Carlos's great thing is that when we think we've won, it's actually the beginning of defeat!
Although our army is superior in quantity, it does not mean that it is also superior in strength, and strength is both quantitative and qualitative! Except for the Silver Knights, most of our army are recruits with no combat experience, and the mood of the recruits is far less stable than that of the veterans. Karl, you don't know yourself or the other! It is your self-righteous attitude that has made you repeatedly frustrated! Can't you learn something from your failures? Li Binglan said coldly.
But is this the way to win? Instead of living in a nest, it is better to fight a decisive battle with the enemy and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in the general battle! Karangie still defended his voice.
Karl, war should not only focus on a narrow battlefield, but also look a little longer. We have a full consideration of this war, so please be calm and do your part! I will give you a satisfactory explanation in the future! Marshal Lee and I have something to do, so please go back. I said in a slower tone, slightly gentle.
What is your winning strategy? Karangie was stunned and asked.
Await! Wait patiently! I replied word by word, with an unmistakable domineering look all over my body.
When Carl left in a huff, Li Binglan said with a sense of wistfulness: Carl wasn't like this before...... How is it that when you arrive on the battlefield, it seems like a completely different person......
I hugged Li Binglan lightly, let her head rest on my shoulder, soothed her some sense of loss, and said softly: In the past, when he was in the imperial capital, he just suppressed his true temperament, once he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, faced with everything he couldn't grasp, especially after suffering constant frustrations, it was easy to expose the other side of his personality and go to the other extreme. Moreover, most of the generals around him were arrogant and arrogant nobles, and at their instigation, Karl would become even more paranoid. The so-called children of the nobility are just a group of narcissists who think that if they wield the power in their hands, their enemies will be tamed like sheep at their feet like the commoners they enslave.
Hopefully, he will be able to rise from this war...... Li Binglan muttered softly.
Rest assured! He will...... I comforted.
Alec, although you are younger and sometimes childish than Carl, you are far more mature and sophisticated than him in your way of doing things, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...... Li Binglan clenched my hands and said.
Our experiences are different...... Circumstances, circumstances, and circumstances all force me to grow faster, and only by growing up quickly can I protect those who love me and the people I love...... I said quietly, as if it were coming from outside the sky.
Alec, although you are beautiful on the surface, you are actually very bitter in your heart...... Only a sad life and bitter memories can allow a person to transcend the boundaries of age and attain transcendent wisdom and extraordinary achievements. Li Binglan stared at my face with stupid eyes and sighed.
Binglan, we are very different on the surface, but we are actually very similar, so we can become the most tacit couple. I looked back at the jade man in my arms affectionately, and said affectionately.
Alex, you just said to Carl that we still have something to deal with, why can't I remember what it is? Li Binglan asked.
Of course, it's what Zuo loves to do! I smiled wickedly, hugged Li Binglan tightly, and walked towards the sleeping room in the tent.
No...... My good husband, you can spare Binglan! It's only afternoon! What if someone comes in now...... Vivien and Ruri won't be ...... until the evening comes back Hmmm......
I don't care! There are Nenecke and Loppet outside, and no one can get in. The so-called life must be happy, don't let the spring tent be empty, so we should be happy in time, don't lose the time!
Alex, you are talking nonsense...... This is not the case in the original poem...... Ah!
Li Binglan trembled in my arms, begging helplessly for mercy, and finally became delicate and graceful, and her perfect body like mutton fat and white dew also became my final occupation, and became my keyboard to play the vocal music of spring.
Outside the tent is a banner hunting, and the war clouds are thick; Inside the tent are pieces of spring tide, clouds and rain chords.
…… As a result, Alexander the Great has a new interpretation of this age-old saying in the decisive victory thousands of miles away......
-- Vidigal. On the morning of July 8, 1894, in the Saint-Lun calendar of Dortmunwald, I, Libbingland, and the commander-in-chief of the army were holding a military meeting, which was not focused on the operational aspects, and I did not concentrate on discussions that were not of any substance at this time.
At this point, I was anxiously waiting for the news I needed.
It's the twenty-first day! Why hasn't there been any movement on the enemy side? Did my plan fail?
As I began to feel restless, the long-awaited message finally came from the deep Haynes Hosaku.
According to the spy's report, Ettiria was very dissatisfied with Carlos, believing that General Carlos had the intention of rebelling and was unwilling to attack the fortress of Grace Valley because he intended to reach some kind of agreement with the center of the empire, so he had removed Carlos as commander and recalled him to Henes for questioning, and replaced him with Ettiria's confidant Pogue. General Pirisnan and Shaduff's nephew, Baron Akabuyi, assumed the post of deputy commander of the crusading army.
After listening to the report, Li Binglan and I glanced at each other, Li Binglan nodded and exhaled and said: Simon. Stage's ploy finally succeeded......
The whole thing was as follows - before the expedition, Simon had sent a peace mission to Haynes with my consent, and as soon as the mission entered the city of Haynes, it was taken into the palace by the messenger of Ettiria, who had heard the news.
When the officials of Heines held a banquet to replace the members of the mission, the chief ambassador of the mission, Koblanchett, was eager and familiar with the attitude of the officials, and presented him with priceless four-colored jewels and a large amount of gold and silver goods, and said in a pretentious manner: My Majesty the Emperor and Her Royal Highness the Princess wish to have a more intimate relationship with General Carlos......
However, after the official who received him explained that it was not Carlos's retainer but an emissary of Etiria, Ambassador Koblanchett pretended to be panicked and said that General Carlos had said that he would send someone to contact us first...... How could it be......
Then I realized that I had lost my words, and I wanted to cover it up: I'm sorry, I didn't mean that...... I mean, I want to see Her Royal Highness the legendary general, but of course the general didn't know we were coming, it was just my own wishes.
Then he made a mistake and took back all the gifts that had been given, and his attitude towards the reception officials changed from eager humility to cold arrogance, and finally the two sides parted unhappily.
The officials of Haynes, who were indignant and left in anger after receiving the cold reception, naturally reported the attitude of the mission to Ettiria, who was suspicious and suspicious by nature, combined with Carlos's stagnant performance for nearly a month, naturally thought that Carlos had rebelled, and even guessed that he had reached some unfavorable agreement with Emily or Alexander, and intended to sell himself in exchange for some kind of advantage, so he did not hesitate to change the battle.
After the generals figured out our entire deployment, they were all amazed and admired me and Li Binglan even more, only Karangie pursed the corners of his lips, and wanted to say something but finally said nothing. In his heart, he may think that the conspiracy is successful, and it is not above board enough, right?
Even though I lost the chance to go head-to-head with a star like Carlos, I would rather take it easy if I could win easily. I sighed, as if it had been made at random, and as if it had been directed at someone.
I turned to the generals and said solemnly: the long-awaited battle has finally arrived! Tonight, let's recharge our energy and welcome the dawn of victory together tomorrow!
Everyone was impressed by my dazzling demeanor and domineering spirit, and their emotions were completely dominated by me, and they were strongly infected, and they cheered and cheered unwillingly.
Inadvertently, when I saw Cal Anji's hesitant expression and contact with his flickering gaze, my face couldn't help but be covered with thick frost, and my gaze became cold, but there was a slight sense of uneasiness in my heart: Carl is like a magic bomb next to me that will detonate at any time, will he be the variable that I can control victory or defeat......
When only me and Li Binglan were left, Li Binglan said softly: "Alex, I saw the murderous intent in your face......
I was shocked in my heart and said, "Binglan, you are too careful...... Karl wasn't the object of my hostility......
I wish I had a lot of heart...... Alex, sometimes your killer will be unintentional...... Just as beasts are instinctively wary of danger, so in your growing sense of the strong, there is a natural hostility towards what might become dangerous...... Whether it is a king or a hegemon, they will not hesitate to ruthlessly sweep away the targets that they believe will become obstacles...... Alec, I don't want you to be that absolutely heartless being one day...... Li Binglan said faintly.
Rest assured! Binglan, as long as you are always by my side, I will not become that kind of person...... I firmly promised.
It doesn't matter who you become...... Whether it is an absolute powerhouse or an ordinary civilian, it is Binglan's favorite...... Li Binglan raised her little face and kissed me lightly on the cheek, and said softly, Alec, maybe it is out of feminine sensitivity and intuition...... I always felt Simon. Stadt is a shadowy being who always influences you, consciously or unconsciously, and seems to be about to lead you down the path of the light. I subconsciously have a deep disgust for him, even fear......
Simon is an out-and-out conspirator, the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, who turns everything in the world into a weight of stakes, places it on the absolutely cold scales of his heart, and makes the most realistic and fair judgments, and is never swayed by personal feelings and likes and dislikes, which is the most terrible thing about him, and it is the aspect on which I must rely on him. All we have to do is make good use of his talents, but we don't have to like him. In this way, his blade will always be aimed at the enemy, not at you and me. I said lightly.
On July 9, 1894, when the dawn of the dawn appeared in the east, nearly 250,000 troops of our army marched south out of Fengrong Valley and pointed directly at the area where the plains, hills, and mountains and forests meet in the southern part of the Sonkers Plain.
On a narrow plain with mountains and forests to the east and hills to the north and south, and a light rain had just fallen, our army spread out into several relatively independent but large phalanxes that looked after each other, and were far away from the armies of Ettiria and Shaduff, which were closely arranged with the Liuhua River at their backs, and confronted each other nervously.
The flag is like the sea, the iron rides are all over the field, the wind is rushing and the clouds are swinging, and the killing opportunities are everywhere.
A huge war known as the Battle of Sonx is on the verge of breaking out.
