Although several scrapped T-54/55 and Type 59 were still pulled away by the enemy, Zhang Shixin was not without gains, and the enemy's armored troops, once again under the baptism of dense shells, dropped the wreckage of nearly a hundred tanks.

The other party retreated, but Zhang Shixin kept patting the dust on his hat, and at the same time thinking about whether to contact the support army.

Although it is said that if the other party is not blind, it will not be long before they will be discovered.

It's just that Zhang Shixin knows that if he takes the initiative to contact the other party, it will obviously be conducive to the future cooperation between the two parties.

At the same time, it will not be treated as an enemy by the other side to carry out indiscriminate attacks.

But he had a problem that had to be clarified.

That's where this so-called reinforcement came from.

According to what he knew, there was no relatively large alliance of the two countries in the vicinity, and if he insisted that there were, it would be either an expeditionary force returning from the north, or the royal guard of the Gultoka Empire.

The arrival of two troops at their original station is not something that can be done in a day or two.

That unit seems to be a fully armored heavy mechanized corps, so the possible surname of the expeditionary force is ruled out, not to mention whether the expeditionary force has fully armored troops, let's just say that the other side appears in the area south of Zhang Shixin, and the allied forces of the two countries will not be stupid enough to do such a thing that is in the opposite direction.

This first ruled out the possible surname of the expeditionary force's return.

As for the other possible type, Zhang Shixin believes that it may be true, because both time and direction are in line with common sense.

But then the problem arises.

Because of the surname of the Imperial Guard, Zhang Shixin did not think that in this case, it was necessary to mobilize the most elite troops of a country to fight.

According to his understanding, the Imperial Guard was often the last minute, appearing on the battlefield where it was most needed.

There are two synonyms for this unit - the loyal dog unit and the super fire brigade.

The loyal dog force means that the royal Praetorian Guard is almost infinitely loyal to the monarch of a country, although it is not without the situation of Praetorian Guard-level troops turning against the water, but when such a situation occurs, a country has no chance to continue to exist.

Therefore, the Janissary-level troops, in a more popular phrase, are a large number of officer groups. The combat effectiveness of these units is naturally frighteningly high.

But there are no absolutes, whether it is Zhang Shixin's original world, or the current world, there will also be a situation where the combat strength of the Praetorian Guard troops is more unbearable than that of the local army, just like Zhang Shixin's original world, the Janissaries of the Song Dynasty in the middle and late periods, the combat effectiveness is not as good as some box armies, and there are not a few cases of collapse at the touch of a button.

There are many factors that go into this, but they clearly don't apply to the Praetorian Guards of the Gultoka Empire.

For example, Zhang Shixin's summons were able to suppress the Praetorian Guards, which were basically equal in number, and this mainly took advantage of the equipment.

But well...... If it is replaced by conscripted soldiers, Zhang Shixin's troops are very likely to be suppressed and beaten by the other side in turn, and the gap in equipment cannot make up for the gap in the quality of soldiers.

Zhang Shixin doesn't look down on those conscripts, but it is very unrealistic to expect these semi-mercenary troops to be able to fight to the death with the elite of the regular army.

Another point is that the biggest gap between the conscripts and the officers and men of the Praetorian Guard is the issue of faith, which will also affect the display of combat effectiveness. Therefore, based on many situations, Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company, as a whole, conducted military exercises with the other party, and in the case of half of the summons and conscripts, the face-to-face death, Zhang Shixin's chances of winning are less than forty percent.

Therefore, if Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company is a firefighting team, the Praetorian Guard troops who appear here are super firefighting teams.

"What are you thinking?" Sinia's voice appeared in Zhang Shixin's mind.

"I'm wondering why they're in this place, or what they're here to do, if that force is really William's Praetorian Guard." Zhang Shixin put his hat back on and said these words.

"And what do you think of?" Xinia asked Zhang Shixin curiously.

"......" Zhang Shixin shook his head, because he really didn't understand what their plans were to come to this place under such circumstances if this force was really the Praetorian Guard of the Gultoka Empire.

Sinia thought for a moment and said something that made Zhang Shixin a little worried: "Could it be that the unit was deliberately transferred here?" ”

Zhang Shi thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, the Praetorian Guard will only obey the command of the monarch, even the Minister of War has no right to directly mobilize the Praetorian Guard, and not long after the old man died, William would not lose the ability to control the Praetorian Guard in such a short period of time...... Looks like I'm going to have to send someone to get in touch with this force. ”

Zhang Shixin looked at the tactical map and found that the enemy was constantly retreating, so he seized this opportunity and quickly dispatched a few WZ-131s, waving the banner of the Elven Dragon Security Company, to the opponent's team and make contact with the opponent.

However, ten minutes later, Zhang Shixin received a telegram saying that the other party wanted to communicate directly with him. Of course, Zhang Shixin was asked to go over in person.

"What are you going to do?" Sinia showed her figure, then looked at Zhang Shixin, whose face was not very good, and asked jokingly.

"......" Zhang Shixin shook his head speechlessly, because for him, it was nothing to go over in person, and he didn't even mind the other party's tone.

But the problem is that his troops are still in this place, and if there is any emergency, he will not have time to cry.

Zhang Shixin, who had been silent for a while, held back his anger and muttered a sentence in his heart: "If something goes wrong, I'm not done with this officer!" ”

Zhang Shixin quickly sat on an armored car, and then under the escort of several WZ-131s and several armored vehicles, he went to the temporary stay area of that unit.

……

This force was indeed the newly formed Second Royal Armored Army of the Gultoka Empire, and they received instructions from William to rush to the north and fight with Zhang Shixin's troops.

But William overlooked one point, that is, the commander of this armored corps, Hailar Sipa, is also very young, although he is a young and promising general in the Gultokati [***] department, but he is only an imperial earl, and he is very jealous of Zhang Shixin, who is the same age as him, but has vaguely become the first person of the imperial aristocracy, who has become a red man of the two monarchs of the empire just by relying on the princess in his eyes.

Therefore, when Zhang Shixin sent someone to contact him, he didn't think twice, and asked those people to report back to Zhang Shixin: "It's okay to communicate, but your boss has to come over in person!" ”

In fact, the summoner's rhetoric is embellished.

After all, although the summoners are infinitely loyal to Zhang Shixin, just as Zhang Shixin understands them, they are also flesh and blood, with their own emotions and thoughts.

They all felt that this person's tone made them so angry, but they had no right to make a decision for Zhang Shixin, so they had to change the other party's words and send them back.

In fact, Hipal Gabriel, the deputy commander of the army and the commander of the 4th Praetorian Panzer Division, saw the smug face of his commander, and out of the relationship between the two, he thought about it, and finally advised Hailar: "General, it seems that His Excellency the Duke is at war with the enemy, and we will do this, will we?" ”

"What are you worried about? If that person is really at war with the enemy, do you think they will come over? When the time comes, we will complete His Majesty's instructions. Hyrule smiled disapprovingly, then picked up a book and slowly flipped through it.

"......" Hippal saw that his boss actually had such thoughts, and at the same time, he was very helpless, so he had to walk out of the tent.

What he wanted to do was naturally to go to the intelligence team and ask Zhang Shixin not to come. Because he knew that Zhang Shixin would definitely not be able to help but go crazy when he came to Hailar.

However, when he got a reply that his boss had already approached, Hippal smiled wryly: "Okay, now it's fun......"

Hippal knows very well that Hailar, who has been slandering Zhang Shixin, will never let go of this "good opportunity" that can ridicule Zhang Shixin, and he also knows that if Hailar falls out with Zhang Shixin, no matter what the result is, Hailar will definitely not be able to get any benefits. If something bad happens because of this, His Majesty William, who knows the facts, will stand on his brother-in-law's side, both in public and private.

Especially since there is no reason at all on their side.

"Alas......" Hippal, who sighed, could only see one step at a time, because many things were not something he could undo now.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

More than 20 minutes later, Zhang Shixin arrived at the temporary camp of the 2nd Praetorian Armored Army.

Zhang Shixin, who got out of the armored car, only saw a few officers greeting him, and he didn't care about Zhang Shixin in this regard, and after saluting a few officers who greeted him, he asked: "I don't know where General Hailar Sipa is now?" ”

After returning a military salute, several officers heard Zhang Shixin's inquiry, subconsciously glanced at each other, and then the officer standing in the middle whispered: "Your Excellency Duke, the general, he is reading a book now." ”

"......" Zhang Shixin was stunned, he couldn't accept such a statement at all, when is it now? I'm fighting the enemy in front, and you still have the leisure to read here?

Zhang Shixin didn't say anything, but took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "This general, are you?" ”

"Major General of the Imperial Army's Panzer Corps, Hipal Gabriel." Hippal responded to Zhang Shixin.

"General Gabriel, please lead the way." Zhang Shixin nodded, and then, led by a few officers leading the way, came to a temporary tent.

After Zhang Shixin entered the tent, he actually saw an officer of his age, who was crossing Erlang's legs and reading a book.

The officers who entered the tent with Zhang Shixin naturally saw this scene, and after they glanced at each other, they all found their helplessness.

Zhang Shixin stared at this general, who should be Hailar Sipa, for a while, before he sneered: "General Sipa, it turns out that you are not here to fight against the enemy, but to travel with arms?" ”

After Zhang Shixin said this, Hailar Sipa put down the book and said, "What's the matter, isn't the Duke resisting the enemy army?" Why do you have this leisure to come to me? “

"......" After Zhang Shixin glanced at this guy coldly, he took a deep breath again to stabilize his emotions.

After all, there is not a system between them, but even if Hailar Sipa's military rank is Lieutenant General of the Armored Corps of the Imperial Army of Gultoka, he cannot command Zhang Shixin's troops.

Similarly, although Zhang Shixin was the duke of the Gultoka Empire, he could not command the Second Armored Army of the Praetorian Guard, which was the Praetorian Guard.

Zhang Shixin was silent for a while, then turned around and walked out of the tent.

Before leaving the camp, he said: "Your troops have come here, and if they are not traveling in arms, they will act immediately." If I don't see your reinforcements until the next offensive, watch out for the Venus on your shoulder. ”

……

Zhang Shixin left, leaving only the iron-faced Hailar Sipa and a few officers looking at each other in the camp.

Zhang Shixin's words were obviously a threat to Hailar Sipa, because Zhang Shixin also knew very well that he couldn't deal with Hailar Sipa himself, but William could directly dismiss him from his military position.

After a while, one of the officers said, "General, what should we do then?" ”

"Leave him alone, I'm going to see what he can do with me. Moreover, there are many people in our country who are not used to this so-called famous duke. Hyrule Sipa blushed and roared.

"......" Hippal sighed in his heart, but he still said to himself: "General, don't forget your majesty's instructions!" ”

"What is the commander of this army going to do, it's not up to you, the deputy commander, to say something!" Hyrule Sipa shouted angrily, and then stared at Hippal's eyes: "I have known that you have cared about this position for a long time, and if you report this matter to Your Majesty, maybe this position will be yours!" ”

"......" Hippar Gabriel was so angry that he couldn't speak, because he was just kindly reminding his superior.

But he got the same rhetoric.

This made him how not angry.

After a long while, Hippal said, "Since the general himself has different plans from His Majesty...... I'm sorry, but I'm a general of the Praetorian Guard, and all I can do is do what His Majesty has directed! ”

"You!" When Hyrule Sipa heard this, he pointed to Hippar Gabriel, and was speechless for a long time.

"Farewell!" Hippar Gabriel turned and left the camp, and with him were several colonels of Hippal's unit.

Some of the other officers did not know what was going on here, but when Hippar Gabriel announced the orders given to them by William, most of the middle and senior officers returned to their temporary garrisons to complete the instructions given to them by William.

"Pong!"

"No one is allowed to leave! I am the supreme commander of this unit! Knowing this, Hyrule Sipa burst out of the tent in a rage, then drew his pistol and shot into the sky.

However, the next moment, the barrel of a tank was aimed at him, the turret roof was opened, and a blonde officer leaned out of the turret. He looked at Hailar Sipa indifferently and said, "General Hailar, what you just said is enough to prove that you have committed treason, and Your Majesty is our supreme commander!" Many of the generals present know that you have always been dissatisfied with His Excellency Duke Zhang Shixin, but His Majesty has long known such a thing, and he sent us out to fight this time, although the main purpose is to cooperate with His Excellency Duke in the battle. But there is also a practice that tests your thoughts and actions. So ......"

"Guards!" The blonde officer shouted, "On the instructions of Your Majesty, I, as the Supervisory Officer, have judged that Hyrule Sipa has lost his qualifications as a commander, and I hereby order you to arrest him." If there is a resistance to arrest...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”

"Who of you dares to !!" Hailar Sipa shouted frantically: "I am a general appointed by the first emperor, you have no right to treat me like this!" ”

"Whether we have the right to treat you like this is up to Your Majesty!"

"The first emperor's bones are not cold, and you actually help outsiders against their bosses?"

"Duke Zhang Shixin is not only His Majesty's brother-in-law, he is also the grandson-in-law of the first emperor, and he also has a royal status! General Hailar, I will report these words to Your Majesty! Take this madman down to me! ”

Naturally, Hyrule Sipa would not let this be tied, and he turned his gun on the blonde young man before a few hesitant soldiers slowly approached......

"Pong!"

The gun went off......

But......

It wasn't Hylar's gun that rang out, it was Hippar Gabriel's pistol......

As for Hyrule Sipa, a bloody hole appeared in the corner of his forehead, and his eyes were wide open with reluctance and disbelief......

After a while, his body fell to the ground......

Hippar Gabriel put away his gun, and then looked at the blond youth, feeling where he had seen it.

Although Hipal knew that this blonde young man was not from their troops, because he had no impression of this officer.

The blonde youth seemed to see the other party's doubts, smiled slightly, took his identification card out of his pocket, and threw it to Hippal.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs?" When Hippal saw these three words, he knew where the blonde young man was from.

Obviously, the fact that he had just shot Hylar had become unimportant.

The blonde officer jumped out of the tank, and then smiled: "Thank you for what happened just now, but your majesty is not good to hide the next thing too much, after all, ......"

The blonde-haired officer glanced at the corpse of Hyrule who fell to the ground, and smiled indifferently: "Although you reacted in a hurry just now, you also know one thing very well, you don't have a title, but you shot a nobleman, and Your Majesty is not too protective of you." So ......"

"So what?" Hippar Gabriel frowned, but he quickly got an answer.

"Because of an accident, there was a series of changes in the 2nd Praetorian Guard, and several officers died on the battlefield, so ......" The blonde officer smiled, imperceptibly shoved a note into Hippal's hand, and then floated away.

……

Hippal sat in his tank and opened the note: "Surrender to Zhang Shixin, Your Majesty has sent your family members to the other party's control area." ”

Hippal was hard to accept such a thing, but he knew he was powerless to change it.

He didn't know if Zhang Shixin would really accept them, but in the current situation, he didn't have a better choice.

Not only him, but also some of his subordinates and colleagues.

At the same time, he also thought of one point, that is, what His Majesty was planning, since he also sent their family members to Zhang Shixin, it was obviously not for them to play a role at some time.

At the same time, it is more likely that the situation was a premeditated ploy by those to whom he was loyal to him, to exclude some of the officers appointed by the emperor.

"I'm afraid...... It should be like this, even if there is no such thing, His Majesty will find other ways to deal with these officers. Hippal smiled bitterly, he didn't have any dissatisfaction with his new place, because of Zhang Shixin's record, he had also heard about it, and he was also more distressed that he had no achievements in the Praetorian Guard, but such a thing happened on the battlefield for the first time, even if it was someone else, it was difficult to let go.

"I don't want to think so much, maybe, in the next battle, I may die on the battlefield." Hippal comforted himself.

At this time, the armored combat vehicles that could still move followed him one after another, moving rapidly towards Zhang Shixin's location.

……

Zhang Shixin naturally didn't know what happened after he left, because the situation on the front line was a little bad, and Qingtan, who had been lurking, actually found another armored unit to reinforce the Osville Imperial Armored Corps, which had been beaten with heavy casualties, and I was afraid that when the initial integration of the enemy troops was completed, they would launch an offensive again.

The reinforcements of the opponent have made the strength of the opponent's troops recover, even if the enemy army cannot return to the strength before the battle began. But for Zhang Shixin, who has already lost a lot of tanks and combat vehicles, the gap between the numbers is even greater.

"One eliminates the other, the other is good......" Zhang Shixin, who was sitting on top of the armored car, felt that this situation was a headache. But he didn't have a better way.

However, when he received the information that the army had moved forward and was marching towards his position, Zhang Shixin saw a glimmer of light,

Although he didn't know if the commander was scared by him (in fact, even if Zhang Shixin was an immortal, he couldn't think of that kind of plot. So this force moved closer to him.

But, in general, with the addition of an armored corps, he is also more confident.

He began to feel the tilt of the Victory Scales......

It's just that the next moment, Sinia's voice made him feel like he was being poured cold water: "Aren't you afraid that the other party will drag you back in secret?" ”

"......" Zhang Shixin found that Sinia's words really have such a possibility......

Zhang Shi thought about it, but in the end, there was no good way.

Because, now it's not like he's going to be able to retreat easily when he says retreat.

He knew that the other party had suffered such losses, even if it was supplemented, but if he fought hard, it would not be without a chance to inflict heavy losses on the enemy.

Zhang Shixin knew that he was gambling with his life by doing this, but after so many battlefields, did Zhang Shixin do less desperate things?
