Chapter 326: The Battle That Must Be Lost
If this kind of thing is placed in other people's families, the rest of the relatives, wives, concubines, and children will be cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But having been by McGee's side for many years, His Royal Highness knows his father's character well. The more the old man with a deep city government said nothing at this time, the more calm he became, and the more earth-shattering the anger that would ferment and erupt due to the accumulation of time in the future.
Sure enough, something can't be stopped once it's opened. Prince McGee's second son, McCarvey, thought about these things, his back leaned tightly on the back cushion of the leather chair, and he looked up at the yellowed roof of the tent, his hair pinned down at the roots.
"Huh...... Braun City ...... Spark City ......"
"Let's all watch, hillbilly, we'...... Some of them are playing. ”
……
……
"Comrades, the bandits are powerful, and they have come with the strength of the country to seek the territory of our empire. But I don't know that my Hill is a good man standing side by side, how can I be bullied by no one?!
Now that the Spark City is besieged, 100,000 people are in a hurry, when it is time to show the demeanor of our generation, how can we cower and laugh at the world......"
During the rapid march at night, I faintly heard the team not far away, and the bearded general raised a leather whip in his hand and spoke loudly.
That person is an executive officer of the Crescent Moon Legion, and he has performed well these days with Liang Qiu's wisdom in fighting the autumn wind outside the city, and he has just been promoted, and he can speak well and fight. I heard that in the past, before the Imperial troops on the other side of the mountain were dispersed, he was a colonel who led the troops into battle.
The officer's cheeks were ugly and serious, and he looked around coldly.
“…… I know that you and the others are all bloody men, men who protect their families and defend the country, and stand up to the sky! I, old bit, regard you as friends, relatives, and brothers, and disdain lies, so I might as well say bluntly to my brothers -- this is a spark, the enemy is huge, this trip is dangerous, and there is bound to be a bloody battle. After this battle, some of our brothers will no longer be able to see the fertile soil of the city of Braun, which we have defended with our lives...... Even so, would you still like to go with me?! ”
The officer's words were impassioned, and the words fell, and below was the response of the mountain and the tsunami--"dare not obey", "We will kill them and go home......
The ugly and serious school official was silent, and when the anger of the crowd below gradually subsided, he raised a hand and pressed it to everyone: "Although the enemy is strong, should we be killed and waste the great opportunity in vain?" Otherwise!!! When the enemy is relieved, we will wait, and you and my relatives and friends will not be spared...... Today, the enemy bandits can destroy Spark City, and tomorrow they can slaughter me Braun!!
Think about the wives, sons and daughters behind you, think about the high-ranking Tang fathers and elders, if we retreat under the enemy's swords and guns today, tomorrow ...... Tomorrow it will be you and my loved ones who will shed their lives and shed blood in the face of swords and guns......"
Due to the abrupt fall of Starfire City, after His Royal Highness James issued an order to organize the armies of the four cities to join together to support Starfire City, the generals in each city led the troops down, and they could only do some inter-military mobilization as much as they could during the march. Between the marches and camps, there were impassioned reprimands everywhere, and the officers and soldiers who came and went one after another responded to each other.
Griffith rode on a white horse and followed the night and the flow of people, and he left Pisa in the city of Braun to prevent a possible sneak attack.
Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess and Beyers were also left in the city.
Liang Qiuzhi ran from the surging crowd to the left for a while, and then to the right, trying to do some final coordination before the war. He looked up and saw Griffith, who was looking up, tilted his head, and rode his horse over.
At this time, a burst of shouts of 'victory' and 'victory' broke out in the ranks of the army, and it should have been the general who instigated the emotions of the ranks under him.
Since he had not experienced the crushing defeat of His Highness James in the wilderness, on the contrary, Braun City had won one victory after another since the arrival of the Great Demon, defeating the Third and Seventh Legions of the Fourth Division of the Sakura Kingdom. The final victory of the previous war was obtained.
Later, under the guidance of Liang Qiu's wisdom, hunting between small groups of people was also successful from time to time.
Although Prince McGee's army has recently been overwhelmed, rumors have spread and people are panicking. The people of the city also moved to the middle of the empire overnight. But on the whole, under the deliberate cultivation and maintenance of the army, the morale of the team under the big demon is still high.
"How...... I can't bear to let these little guys go to war. Griffith led the horse with one hand, Liang Qiu's wisdom came later, and the big demon's war horse circled around twice in place, his face facing each other, and he smiled.
Captain Kwon Jichi has a warm personality, and there is a warm element in his personality, which is not very suitable for the cruel battlefield. At this time, he walked over, heard the teasing in the big demon's words, smiled and didn't pick up the conversation.
"Encirclement and reinforcement...... His Highness was really impulsive this time - this battle was very hard. ”
In the night breeze, Liang Qiuzhi stroked the broken hair on his forehead and sighed. Griffith nodded, not speaking. This is not only a tough battle, but a battle that must be lost......
The two horses walked side by side in silence.
After half an hour, the eastern sky turned slightly red, and soon turned white, and a new morning was about to arrive.
"At this point, we can only take one step at a time...... At this point, it is useless for you and me to talk too much, so do our best to bring these lads back alive. ”
Griffith looked at the queue walking in the dim light of the early morning, turned his head and waved his hand at Liang Qiuzhi. Not far from him was a group of Crescent Battalion soldiers carrying spears and shouting the slogan 'Victory'.
The big demon rode past them, and the other party raised his head neatly and shouted loudly, 'Hello city lord'. The former greeted each other with a smile on his side, and his posture was upright, and his white-gloved hand waved in the air in a friendly manner.
I hope that after today, these great boys will still be simple, healthy and happy.
……
……
With His Highness James scattered into various armies, the Four-City Alliance soon converged on the march.
The city of Braun, led by Griffith, and His Royal Highness James, a major general named Pike Saint, and his army formed the left flank of the coalition.
His Royal Highness James personally sat in the main formation of the Chinese army, and the right flank was composed of the coalition forces of Ferron, Crescent, and Venice.
The members of this right-wing force are complex, and there are many inconveniences between marching formations, so it can be said that it is the weakest party.
Moreover, the three castles were destroyed by the surprise blitzkrieg of the Fourth Legion of the Sakura Kingdom, and then the Fourth Legion was crippled and destroyed, and these three castles were re-erected, but they still failed to come out of the shadow of the war.
Besides, after experiencing such a thing, even the army was scattered, and the city lord was captured and killed, I am afraid that it is difficult to insist on what is difficult to change in my bones.
Even if the felled flag was re-erected and the lost number was given again, the most memorable thing in the ranks was gone.
In the previous campaign, the army suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out, but fortunately it was replenished by a large number of displaced people. Although most of them are young and strong, they are just strong recruits in the final analysis.
Because of this, the right flank of the coalition army faced the soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom the weakest. Although His Royal Highness James is full of enthusiasm and knows this, he is still advancing and retreating in a measured manner at this time. He had been an experienced and steady general for most of the time, and knew that recklessness would lead to a frustration of casualties.
At this time, the four-city alliance was violent, not to break the enemy, but to rescue Starfire City, so that Prince McGee and others would retreat.
On the right flank, the three-city coalition only needs to hold off the opponent and prevent it from returning to the siege. Therefore, although the combat effectiveness is weak, it cannot be used to drag the enemy and stop the enemy.
The strongest Chinese army and the left flank need to be responsible for the part of the attack and gnaw down the most difficult bones in this battle. It is the best way to break Prince McGee's army, even if it can't be broken, it must cause enough damage to the other party to share the pressure for Spark City, and it will also make McGee's side lose the ability to regain Spark.
……
……
As the night rain receded, the glow and shouts of the Starfire City could already penetrate miles into the wilderness.
The footsteps of horseshoes and men in heavy armor shook the ground, and the old man who was awakened in the middle of the night near the city trembled with his palm lamp, poured a bowl of half-warm soup left over from yesterday, and sat down at the door.
The water in the bowl was cloudy, and it rippled on the table as the ground shook it. Diffuse into some kind of ominous.
In the cubicle, there was the sound of Suo Suo getting up and getting dressed, and it was the old man's son and daughter-in-law who were awakened by the shock and shouting.
The old man sat for a long time, his body hardened, so he stood up, opened the doors and windows tremblingly, and looked up to the south. The gray mist blocked the eyeline, and in the few visions, the nearby city was burning, and the figures were stirring in the fire, like rows of tadpoles in the creek in spring and autumn, fighting and shouting in the firelight.
The early morning wind blew through the window, and the old man shook his body and subconsciously shrunk into his clothes. And this cold dawn, and the ominous cry faintly heard in the darkness before dawn, made this honest old man, like a lonely child, helpless and speechless.
……
"Keep up, keep up, the people in front...... The people in front, damn it, say what about you, keep up with ......"
On the eve of the dawn of the morning star, three distinct columns of troops spread out on the mountain like dense locusts, walking in silence.
The one who shouted before was an executive officer in the city of Venice, who looked like he was about forty years old, with greasy hair and fierce eyes, and he was a complete veteran. He tossed the man a few steps faster, then ran to the queue and slapped a young soldier on the back of the head, cursing loudly.
The black silent queue walked slowly, and the middle-aged executive spat thick phlegm and slammed it on the ground.
"Damn, unlucky, a bunch of recruits ......"
In this rapid march in the dark night, every team was nervously dispatching.
On the left flank of the alliance where Griffith was, boundless black-armored steel helmets surged all over the mountains. The Great Demon stood on the top of the hill, and the left flank was half uphill and half downhill.
He rode on horseback.
The city that had fallen on fire was laid out in front of us.
His Royal Highness James's general, Pike Saint, tried to make the left flank look indistinguishable, but time was short, and there was not much to hide. And the crowhorn of the cherry blossom kingdom is a well-known scout elite, with tricky eyes. Therefore, as expected, this team that came in a hurry must have appeared on the opponent's tactical sandbox.
Therefore, on the way to Starfire City, there was a division of Prince McGee soldiers hoarded here. They chose a location and set up camp, blocking Griffith's party like a ball of steel knives.
A few minutes ago, His Excellency Pike came over to discuss countermeasures with Griffith, the other side was not as large as expected, at this time it was the time when the moon was setting and the sun was not rising, and his field of vision was extremely limited, and he advocated a strong attack.
The big demon knew that he was ambitious, and he wanted to perform in front of His Royal Highness, and he was eager to take the first credit for the battle to relieve the siege. Moreover, if James's army had been defeated for the first time, Pikes would have been rewarded for regaining their might and for all that they had been desperate for a big victory.
However, at this time, the game between the two sides has just begun, and the military situation of the other side is not yet clear. It was dark and dark, although it was conducive to our army's surprise attack and obscured the line of sight, but the same disadvantage applied to our own side.
The so-called wealth and danger are sought, how can Pike Saint not know that Chen Bing must have a backhand with this, but he sent a waiter to search for the nearby mountains and slopes, and the first wave of scouts has returned, according to the situation, no abnormal situation has been found.
