Chapter 61: Failure
The explosion of fireworks plunged the entire battlefield into a brief moment of silence.
Long Aotian and Norton naturally saw this conspicuous signal, but helplessly, they didn't know what this firework represented. For now, I have to wait to see what means Ichiro Matsui can play.
The same thought is also filled in the hearts of most people throughout the battlefield.
At the moment when the fireworks exploded, an officer of the Xuanwu Legion beside Long Aotian and them frowned after seeing this signal, and a trace of embarrassment, hesitation, and hesitation flashed on his face.
But after a while, I saw a resolute expression flash in his eyes, and then he raised the long sword in his hand violently and shouted loudly: "The Tiger Camp has given me orders, everyone starts to act!"
As soon as the order was given, he saw that many soldiers behind him suddenly took off the armor they had draped on the outside, revealing the red armor hidden inside.
Seeing this situation, Long Aotian suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, but at this moment, when he looked carefully, it was already too late, and he saw that at this time, those soldiers who were wearing red armor and were originally Xuanwu Legion soldiers raised their weapons and pounced on the rest of the Xuanwu Legion soldiers beside them, and before they could react, they instantly slashed them under their own swords. In an instant, there were screams. In an instant, hundreds of soldiers had died tragically at the hands of their former comrades-in-arms who had suddenly defected.
Those soldiers who died by the sword could not have imagined that they had fought on the battlefield for so long without any situation when they died, but at this moment, they died at the hands of the battle they had always trusted, leaving behind only an unwilling scream.
"Anderson, I'm ***!"
Seeing this situation, Rao is usually very calm Long Aotian was also immediately angry, watching these soldiers die in the hands of his comrades-in-arms who had always trusted him, Long Aotian couldn't wait for himself to rush forward and slaughter such a rebellious guy at this moment. And that Anderson was the initiator of this mutiny, he was the commander of a battalion in the infantry.
After scolding, I saw Long Aotian holding his own thunder with one hand, roaring angrily, and got into the middle of the soldiers in red armor, wielding a gun in his right hand, picking, stabbing, and sweeping, and instantly saw a soldier fall under his gun.
"General, let's retreat, if we continue like this, the situation on our side is very demoralizing, and our soldiers can be said to be in chaos now, I think we should go back and think about it in the long run! ”
At this time, on the other side, he saw Knowlton looking at everything that was happening on the battlefield with a blue face, and he couldn't help but be angry when he saw those who had defected. At this moment, a military doctor beside him said to him in a dull voice.
"Anderson, I didn't expect our inner ghost to be you, no wonder our plans have been leaked several times, it turns out that he is doing ghosts!"
After listening to what the officer next to him said, Knowlton couldn't help but pat his forehead and said weakly, and then he glanced fiercely at Anderson's direction, and then sighed weakly and said in a deep voice: "Let's retreat." ”
Immediately, I saw a soldier next to Knowton shouting to the soldiers below, "The Xuanwu Legion is ready to retreat!" and immediately saw a guard blowing the horn of retreat.
As soon as the horn sounded, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, who were already demoralized, immediately went to their own station under the command of the officer. Suddenly, the scene formed a scene of the pursuing enemy troops on one side and the retreating soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion on the other. Everywhere you can see the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, who were running a little slower, falling to the ground.
And when Long Aotian on this side was fighting, he heard the horn of retreat, and it was also boring, and he suddenly killed a few enemy soldiers around him, and then slowly retreated backwards to catch up with the large army.
After running all the way and the enemy army did not pursue them with all their might, the Xuanwu Legion finally returned to their station with a scarred body after paying a heavy price.
"General???? We ??? now"
After returning to the station, the military officer beside Knowton looked at Knowton with a blue face and asked cautiously.
"Sort out the team for me first, count the casualties, and then come to my side and report to me, hurry up. ”
Looking back at the group of soldiers behind him, their lost look at the moment, the angry expression, a few people Nuolton sighed for a while and then said in a deep voice.
Today he felt an unprecedented tiredness, an unprecedented anger and unwillingness.
The feeling of being betrayed by his own people made him feel at a loss, and the feeling of guilt for the soldiers weighed him down. At this moment, Knowlton didn't know how to give the soldiers a satisfactory answer, and he didn't know how to comfort the fallen soldiers.
"All the officers come to my side for a meeting!"
After some ideological struggle, Knowlton shouted to everyone behind him that now was not the time for him to be silent, as the leader of this army, he had to think about the Legion and the Empire, and he had to come up with a solution to this matter.
???????? Sitting in Norton's handsome camp, everyone felt a silence and solemnity at the moment. The atmosphere in the room makes everyone feel breathless.
"My lord, the results are in!"
After about a quarter of an hour of silence, the silence was finally broken, and one of the lieutenants of the legion who had walked in from outside came to Knowlton's side and said in a heavy voice.
Hearing his words, the ears of all those present couldn't help but stand up.
"What about the casualties?"
After hearing his words, Knowlton asked in a deep voice, what should be faced still has to be faced.
"This time we suffered heavy casualties, a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers killed, plus the soldiers of the mutinous battalion, there is a shortage of more than 14,000 soldiers. There are also more than 800 seriously injured and 20,000 lightly injured!"
Reading out the data one by one is undoubtedly a blow to the people present one after another. And Knowton and everyone else were also looking heavier and heavier.
Knowing that the man had said everything, the room was already quiet to a terrifying level.
"Bastard, if that Anderson is seen by me again, I'll have to chop him up!"
At this time, an officer who was the highest commander on the infantry side gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"General, this revenge must be avenged, we must let them return it!"
"Yes, by all means!"
???????? Immediately after that, all the people in the audience were in chaos, and everyone shouted one by one.
"Report ??????"
At this moment, the voice of the chief guard came from outside the door again!
"General, no, the two brothers of Duke Griffin in the two provinces around us have begun to rebel!"
"What? Duke Griffin has rebelled?"
"When was it, what's going on now?"
After a moment of silence, Knowlton asked in a deep voice.
"They started to act this afternoon, and at night they had already attacked fifty miles outside Baoji City, where the reinforcements of the Qilin Legion happened to arrive, and there was a confrontation between the two sides, and now there is a stalemate. ”
After a quick debriefing, the guard looked up at Knowlton to see what he could do.
"Reinforcements from the Kirin Legion have arrived, this may be good news, but ????"
Thinking of Griffint's rebellion, it seems that the hundreds of thousands of troops they rebelled against were going to give them a headache for a while.
"Adjutant, you go and send a letter to the imperial capital to explain the situation here!"
After listening to the report, Knowlton first asked his adjutant to write a letter, and then looked at the people below and said: "I was very surprised by what happened at the end of today's battle, I didn't expect that there would be internal ghosts in our team, and I didn't expect that they would openly rebel at this time, it is obvious that this is something that the Japanese country has been planning for a long time, as the boss, I am absolutely responsible for not discovering this matter as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Knowlton bowed deeply to everyone.
"However, everyone has heard about the situation now! We must now finish the war here as soon as possible, turn around and suppress the rebellion over there, let's talk about what you think!"
"General, I think we can organize another attack at once, and attack while the enemy has just won a victory at this moment, and they will not expect that we will turn around and attack at this time, so we can use this opportunity to surprise the enemy!"
As soon as Knowlton's words fell, Long Aotian quickly stood up and said.
This idea has been surrounding his mind just now, he is not willing to lose today's battle, unwilling to lose a few of his best brothers but not get a little gain, just now he learned of Orr's death, and after returning to the barracks, he learned that Nat and their side went to five people on a mission but only two came back, and there was no figure of Nat .
Long Aotian, who has always regarded Nat as his best friend, naturally knew that something had happened to Nat in such a situation, he hated Anderson and hated Ichiro Matsui. But he has been holding back the sadness and anger in his heart, and he stands up at this moment, and he wants to avenge everyone.
