In the afternoon, Long Aotian spent an afternoon in the room.
Hesitation, there was only one battle yesterday, so it is unlikely that the enemy side will attack them again today. So taking advantage of this rare free time, Long Aotian was a good relaxer.
"My lord, the emperor has a messenger to deliver a message here. ”
In the evening, Long Aotian was resting in his room when he heard the voice of the members of the guards on duty outside the door. Hearing the soldier say that there was a messenger from the imperial capital coming here, Long Aotian couldn't help but be stunned, how could there be a messenger from the imperial capital at this time, and who would send the letter to himself Long Aotian couldn't think of for a while.
But after a while, it reacted, this messenger is very likely to be sent by Hua Ningshuang in the imperial capital to deliver the letter, after all, he really can't think of anyone else in the imperial capital who will write to him, of course, Maria is also a very likely person, but her status in the Long family is not very high, so it is impossible for her to be able to send a messenger here, so Long Aotian ruled it out at once; Bring him in!"
At this moment he had gotten up from his bed and walked to his outhouse, where he waited for the messenger to come in.
A moment later, Long Aotian saw a dusty man walking in from outside the door.
Seeing him, Long Aotian immediately affirmed his thoughts, because he knew this person, he had seen this person by Luo Lin's side at the beginning, and he was a retainer of the Hua family.
"See Young Master Long!"
After entering the house and seeing Long Aotian, the man immediately stepped forward and said respectfully. Maybe it was in his heart that Long Aotian was still the little master of the Long family, and he didn't change his words for a while, so he called out.
"Get up!"
Since he knew that this person was from the Hua family, Long Aotian naturally stepped forward to help him up, but Long Aotian didn't mind his name for himself.
"My lord, here is a letter from my young lady and my young master to you. ”
After getting up, the man didn't say anything, and directly took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Long Aotian.
With a little excitement, Long Aotian quickly took the letter and held it tightly in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that the others were still here, Long Aotian might have opened the letter and read it right now.
"Young Master Long, I'm going back when the letter arrives!"
After seeing Long Aotian take the letter, the messenger said goodbye to Long Aotian.
"So fast? Just got here! Or stay and rest for the day?"
After hearing his words, Long Aotian frowned and asked.
"Young Master Long, no need, the young master and young lady at home are still waiting for my reply, now the battle situation here is unstable, if the small one drags on for one more day, they will worry about you for one more day, I better go back immediately!"
But the messenger still rejected Long Aotian's kindness.
Hearing his answer, at Long Aotian's last request, he agreed to leave an hour to rest well, and when he went back, he would bring Long Aotian's reply and go back together!
Seeing the messenger who withdrew, Long Aotian could open the letter and read it, Hua Ningshuang's letter was nothing more than asking about Long Aotian's situation and his physical condition, and she also knew about Long Aotian's promotion, and congratulated her in the letter, as well as some of her explanations and words of concern.
The specific content is basically like this, and some of the sweet words in it make Long Aotian happy.
After reading Hua Ningshuang's letter, Long Aotian immediately opened the letter that Rowling sent to himself, looking at Rowling's letter, the corners of Long Aotian's mouth also inadvertently drew a smile, for Rowling, Long Aotian has always regarded him as his best friend, but he was also quite surprised that he was able to send a letter to himself at this time.
As for the content of the letter, Long Aotian couldn't laugh or cry when he read it. I saw that in addition to expressing his congratulations and envy for Long Aotian being promoted to the position of battalion commander in just over a year after he came to the army, he also expressed his endless admiration. There is also the hope of telling Long Aotian that he is now a well-known mission in the empire, and at his age, he has sat in the position of battalion commander, and has won so much glory in repeated battles, and has done so many amazing things, although he dare not say that he has never come before, but it is definitely unprecedented!
In the letter, he also mentioned some of his own thoughts, describing his thoughts about joining the army at the front line! There are also some explanations to Long Aotian, such as how to take care of yourself, kill more enemies, make more meritorious contributions, and be promoted to a higher position as soon as possible, and remind Long Aotian to go back and marry her sister earlier!
Seeing the helpless wry smile of Long Aotian at the end, these words were only spoken by Rowling.
After reading the letter, because the messenger was going back today, in order to avoid sending someone to send them a letter again, Long Ao Tianxun wrote two replies to the letter, and simply asked the messenger to send it back together.
The content of the letter is nothing more than telling them about their situation here, so that they don't have to worry about themselves, they are doing well here, and there are some common words. After writing this, Long Aotian walked towards the messenger's settlement.
After handing over the letter to the messenger, Long Aotian thanked him again, and finally at the messenger's insistent request, Long Aotian didn't make too many reservations and let him leave for the imperial capital.
After returning to his camp, Long Aotian carefully put away the two letters, and just wanted to take a good rest, when a report from the guards came from outside the door, saying that General Knowlton was going to hold a meeting and let him go.
Hearing this, Long Aotian knew that the meeting was probably to talk about some strategic situations, so he reluctantly accepted his salute, and Long Aotian hurried out.
When they came to Norton's barracks, most of the officers of the legion were already concentrated in the Shuai camp, and they all greeted him warmly when they saw Long Aotian come in.
Obviously, Long Aotian once again completely conquered everyone's hearts with his actions yesterday.
"Everyone is together, then let's start the meeting!"
Soon after, seeing that the people in the camp were basically all here, Knowlton, who had been sitting on the upper seat, spoke.
"Yesterday's battle is over, everyone has achieved very good results, but our own casualties and losses are not small, this is a very difficult problem for us who have not yet been replenished by soldiers, and the most important thing is that we have not yet defeated the enemy army and driven them out of the borders of our empire, our Baoji Pass is still controlled by them, and now there is news from the Baoji City in our rear that the two brothers of the Duke of Griffin are ready to rebel at any time, so we must drive the enemy out of our country as soon as possible and hit them hard at a time, so they will be greatly injuredIn this way, we can stabilize our own situation first, and then if the two provinces in our rear really rebel, we can also deal with it calmly. ”
After glancing at everyone, he sighed and announced a piece of news that made everyone feel helpless and angry.
"***, Griffin and his brother, those two guys really want to die, if it's a wallgrass!"
Hearing Knowlton's words, Sinzina also scolded. But now in the face of this situation, what can you do, for the sake of today, only a quick solution to the battle here is the king. In such a situation, everyone remained silent to see what Knowlton's decision was.
"We intend to attack the enemy as soon as possible today! After yesterday's battle, the enemy army has suffered a great blow in morale and personnel, and their defense system has been severely damaged by us, and in such a situation, we may be able to win if we attack again while they have not yet had time to repair. ”
Speaking of this, Norton paused, glanced at the audience, and continued, "But we will think of this as well, and the enemy must have thought of this, so they strengthened their defenses a lot this afternoon. In such a situation, our attack is very dangerous, even if we barely win the frontal attack, but the casualties are definitely not small, this is not the result I want!"
Obviously, Knowlton is telling everyone that this battle is to win and not want to be hit hard, just like the last battle against Matsui Ichiro.
After understanding what he meant, everyone was stumped for a while, such a possibility was almost impossible. After all, the enemy army is now in a defensive state in the city, and with an army of more than 100,000 people, no matter what, they will not be hit like last time. For a while, the scene fell into a state of coldness.
Seeing this situation, Norton was not surprised, perhaps he had already thought that this situation would occur, but he cleared his throat and said: "I have discussed some operational policies with a few generals in the afternoon, and we have decided to attack Baoji Pass again!" As for the specific method, there must be a team of men and horses lurking into the enemy's city, and then once we start a frontal battle, the team in your city must immediately cooperate with the outside of the city, and light fire everywhere in the city to disturb the enemy's attention and cause them to panic, and cooperate with the outside of the city. After the fire, you should take the opportunity to blend in with the enemy army, and if you can, try to open the enemy's gates, and then our troops will take advantage of the situation to rush in, and if so, the battle will be a little easier!"
Speaking of which, Norton said his thoughts, and at the same time aimed his eyes at Long Aotian's side, obviously, he hoped that Long Aotian could participate in it
