Chapter 298: Sleepless Nights
"Squad leader, I just seem to have hit an enemy's senior officer. ”
The squad leader slapped the private's head.
"Silly boy, do you want to make meritorious deeds? ”
Private retorted.
"But squad leader, I saw that the man was holding a sword that seemed to be so expensive, not a big official."
"Cut, with this visibility, can you see what that sword looks like? Enough boy, concentrate on standing guard, and the enemy will say when he comes. ”
Seeing this, the private couldn't continue to argue, and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Okay. ”
"You kid. ”
The private continued to observe, and then the moonlight seemed to see a white chess piece raised behind the opposite wall, and muttered.
"Squad leader, raising the white flag is not a sign of surrender. ”
"yes, what's wrong. Don't tell me you watched. ”
"Squad leader, look at whether it's white or not. ”
The squad leader reluctantly stood up and looked in the direction the private was pointing. Momentarily lazy and completely gone.
"I'm not mistaken, it's a white flag!"
The private said excitedly.
"Squad leader, you read that right, it's a white flag!"
"Quick, go tell Command that the enemy has surrendered. ”
.....
After a night in the basement, Wayne was finally able to walk out onto the street and feel the fresh morning air and dawn. Tired stretched, he glanced at the ruined streets. Sighing, it's not time to rest yet.
"Young Master Wayne, the prisoners of war have been received, a total of about 5,300 people, and 532 officers. The chief Gu and they should have evacuated with Boris, and the deputy chief was killed on the battlefield. ”
Wayne nodded.
"What about our casualties?"
"There were one hundred and twenty casualties, fifteen officers. ”
"Remember to make arrangements for the families of the martyrs. ”
"Yes!"
"Did you send someone to inform Beson?"
"The man went yesterday. ”
"Remember to have the streets in order, we're not like those aristocrats. Leave a mess for the citizens. ”
"This must go. ”
"Then you go ahead and get busy. ”
Balde immediately hurried away.
At this time, the citizens of the imperial capital were a little panicked, they didn't expect that things would be so big. There was a direct break between the nobles, and everyone knew what that meant. A great battle like never before.
For a while, people were panicked, and some people had already begun to leave for the northwest, which was at least much safer than the imperial capital. However, some people still insisted on staying in the imperial capital, feeling that the four legions and Wayne's army were enough to withstand the rebels of the nobles.
Therefore, Wayne's first time was to send people to appease the masses, once the imperial capital was in chaos, it would leave a loophole for people who were not bad and well-intentioned.
And another important thing needs to be done by himself.
"Audrey, now you must go to the northwest immediately. ”
Wayne put his arm around Audrey's shoulders and said softly.
"I'm not going anywhere, I want to be there for you. ”
Wayne shook his head.
"I have to stay on the front line, and when the time comes, once the fight starts, I can't estimate you at all. If something happens to you, I don't have the heart to do anything else. ”
Audrey was stubborn and pouted.
"But if you don't have me, who will take care of you?"
"But you don't usually take care of me. ”
All of a sudden, the other scenes were shattered, and Audrey put away her petite and pitiful appearance.
Grabbed a lump of flesh in Wayne's armpit, and then twisted it a few more times.
The screams of killing pigs rang out.
"I see you've been floating lately, dare to talk to me like that!"
Wayne gritted his teeth in pain and pressed his armpits tightly. He swore that the next time he owed so much, he would strangle himself.
"Your Majesty, you didn't do this to me at night. ”
Wayne: Strangled yourself.
Soon, Audrey made a sneak attack, and slashed straight at Wayne's heavenly spirit cover with her palm.
Old wounds have not gone away, and new ones have been added.
Siha~
Audrey's face was full of shame and anger, and she wanted to hack Wayne to death. How can the situation be compared at night?
Wayne squatted and stroked his head, wondering if he was going to persuade Audrey to move.
"Forget it, this princess will move to the northwest and stay here, and sooner or later she will be angry with you. ”
Say, Audrey strode out the door, her skirt flying.
"Brother Boris, I've finally waited for you. ”
"What about the rest of Cologne?"
"I let them go first. ”
The two chatted to each other across the carriage.
"Then let's leave first. ”
Boris said hastily.
"Brother Boris, I've asked Stanley and Supley to lead the Falcon and the Lion and Tiger Army to capture Bismarck Dowretz. Three days later, the cities of Rad, Kegi, and Bens fell into our hands. When the time comes, capturing the imperial capital will be like a treasure trove for us, and it will be effortless. ”
Boris tightened his eyebrows.
"Now it is estimated that the Iron Shield and Dragon's Breath Legions have also set off, and those two legions are closer, in that case, the Falcon and the Lion Tiger will be sent to death. ”
Cologne was horrified.
"What are we going to do, Brother Boris?"
"Now that I'm sending a Magister to help, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
Coren breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Boris, if you didn't say it earlier, I was worried for a while. ”
Boris didn't say what was in his heart, and now the nobles' first task was not to advance the line of defense or capture the imperial capital. It's the preparation of the army, and now the nobles have an army of two million, don't look at the number of them. But it's almost all pieced together. The quality is uneven, and the structure is complex, with forces from all sides intervening. Such an army does not have a unified wisdom at all, and even the rank system is a mess.
Today you are a generalissimo, tomorrow I will have another generalissimo, and finally another generalissimo. There are even cases where the squad leader is considered to be higher than the rank of general.
In this case, the commander of the army is lost, as in the case just now.
Coren could command two legions, and so could Boris. What would they do if Boris and Cologne gave contradictory orders at the same time.
Compared with this, the defense line is obviously much smaller than the imperial capital.
"Cologne, now we're going back to regroup and defeat that kid Wayne in one fell swoop. ”
Seeing Boris so passionate, Cologne's emotions were also mobilized.
"That kid Wayne is too arrogant, and I'm going to let him know not to think that with a little artillery, a musket can lift its tail into the sky, and he has no scruples. ”
Boris saw that Coren was a little upset, and asked tentatively.
"Cologne, do you have a candidate for a general, after all, an army of two million is not so easy to bring. ”
Coren lowered his head, thoughtful.
This was something he did not expect, he had envisioned splitting up the army of two million. After all, if it is handed over to one person, then the task is a bit onerous. Apparently Boris also took this into account, and Boris meant it more deeply. To cede power, to give up command of the army.
After all, it is difficult for the army to exert its combat effectiveness when it is controlled by the two of them who do not know much about military affairs, but it is not so simple to give up power. This general must choose someone who has no background, has excellent ability, and will not betray them. Under these three conditions, the number of candidates is only a handful.
