Chapter 107 - Return to China
Dadaran woke up from his sleep again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ever since he killed Duke Mifora's family to avenge his blood vengeance, Dadaran has often been plagued by nightmares, and he has had the same dreams. In the dream, he became the youngest son of Mifurah, and was carried by the nurse in the secret passage and ran away desperately, but he chased after him from behind, killed the nurse, and slashed at himself with a knife.
I finally managed to catch my breath, but the drowsiness disappeared because of it. Dadaran stood up and touched the flask he had half-drunk before going to bed, and after taking a few gulps of wine, he tossed the almost empty flask aside and strode out of the tent.
Stars dotted the night sky, emitting different colors of light. The sea breeze blowing in the distance made the cold night even more bone-chilling.
It's a chill that has been lost for a long time, and I'm sure every Paz soldier will taste the taste of home from it, but Dadaran, who was born in Sindra, doesn't like it very much, and of course he doesn't like the hot nights in his hometown either.
Home is already very strange to Dadaran, where his hometown is, what his family looks like has been blurred, the only thing that has haunted his heart for so many years is the hatred that must be avenged, and he has been lucky to complete revenge.
But what should I do in the future? Dadaran has asked himself this question countless times these days. But there was no answer. Hatred had filled all of his past life, and this enemy was so powerful that he never had the luxury of expecting to live after his revenge. Now that the biggest thing in life has been completed, I can't see where the next one is.
Serve Lord Basbarn. Dadaran tried to convince himself at first, but it was not what he wanted to pursue, but only an obligation and a reward. Maybe you can be a king like the witch Nisinis said? It's a pity that the best time has been missed. Of course, Dadalan did not think that with the 40,000 men he had at his disposal, he would be able to conquer the whole of Sindra, kill the king of Traag, and then sit on the throne of the king. It is impossible for a slave-born person like himself to gain recognition in Sindra unless he can prove his royal status. Unfortunately, thanks to the Duke of Mifra, all those who can prove their identity have become dead, and the rest of the insiders cannot provide sufficient evidence. Unless there is strong foreign support, but Dadaran's only foreign aid is Baibasban, but eliminating Traag and attacking Sindra will only involve Paz in the continuous war, which is obviously contrary to Baibasban's interests, and it is precisely because of this Dadaran that he feels that Nisinis's prophecy is nonsense.
Dadaran, who was thinking about it, suddenly let out a sneer, it turned out that he didn't even know what kind of person he wanted to be. Looking back on my 25 years of life, I have never considered such a problem, and I am afraid that it will become a huge problem in my future life.
No matter what, let's pass it on to future generations as a famous general. At least that goal doesn't seem too far away. Dadaran said to himself.
However, with the existence of a master like Bai Basbarn, it seems that it is not easy to become a famous general. Just as no one notices the special features of a star under the light of the moon, it is not easy to shine around an immortal like Babbasbarne.
Thinking of this, Dadaran came back to his senses and glanced at his camp, which was a camp of forty thousand people, and although it was not as numerous as the stars, it already constituted a magnificent landscape on the dark earth. Remembering the look on the face of King Traag, who had come to see him off as he set out for Paz, he almost cried tears of joy, and Dadaran wanted to laugh. After this civil strife, Sindra not only lost a large number of soldiers, materials, food, and national strength regressed for more than ten years, plus he asked Tragg for a large amount of food, military salaries and treasures as compensation, presumably Tragg was unwilling to let himself continue to stay in Sindra territory for even a second.
The route back was completely different from the original route to Sindra, and Dadaran chose to follow the coastline of Paz for two reasons.
The first layer is because of official business, Baibasbahn has already recruited a considerable number of Paz nobles, and the rest are either wavering or stubborn, and they have little patience for them to worship Basbarn. Therefore, after learning that Dadaran had completed his mission to help his allies, he ordered Dadaran to lead his army on his way back to attack the noble groups of Kebaldo and Songgris in the south of Paz, and force them to make a final decision by force.
As for the second layer, it was for personal reasons, Dadaran and his men plundered a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the process of crusading against the Duke of Mifra, especially in the last battle of Gudel, which was too laborious to pull by car, so Dadaran simply loaded all the things on the ship and transported them back to Paz, if his troops were too far from the coast, then it would be difficult to protect his wealth.
Fifteen days are still before Bandar Abbas, where goods can be loaded and transported to the capital city of Jekbada, but before that can be captured, as it is still the domain of Songris.
This is not an easy task. Although the garrison of Bandar Abbas was small (Songares transferred the main force to protect himself), the strategic location of Bandar Abbas was very important, and it was the key point to hold the Bay of Pass, so its defense was unusually strong, even if he had 40,000 troops to capture it, it would not be an easy task. According to the intelligence, the journey of the next four days began to enter the territory controlled by Songares, although there may not be any effective resistance along the way, but the battle of Bandar Abbas will be the first tough battle for him to return to Paz, if he fails, then he will inevitably disappoint Baibasbarn, and he will not be able to continue to attack Songares's lair; However, if he succeeds, he will not only be able to obtain a large amount of wealth, but also completely cut off the economic source of Songrice, and then the battle will be much easier.
The battle must end as soon as possible, otherwise it would have been even more difficult if Songares had heeded the advice of others and sent troops to support Bandar Abbas. Although Dadaran thinks that this is very unlikely in the light of Songris's personality and vision, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible. As a commander-in-chief, you cannot judge uncertainties as determinants. The probability of a successful surprise attack with his own army is very low, because the limited number of cavalry in his army makes the troops not fast enough, and the other party may have already gotten the news of such a large-scale troop march.
How should this battle be fought? Dadaran couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It was getting lighter. (To be continued.) )
