0566: Commander-in-Chief

Although later, almost all the students had to follow Xiao Chen to fight, Xiao Chen did not countdown to agree.

Most of the more than 200 students were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they had no real blood on their hands, and letting them do it was tantamount to murder.

These people will be treasures in the future, and when they grow up, they will definitely be the pillars of the Jiuzhou Empire.

In the end, Xiao Chen selected fifty people, including students and officials, and they all had the same thing in common: they were all summoners above level eighteen.

Wei Hancheng, who was one of the soldiers in the army, was also lucky to become a member, and when Xiao Chen asked them to prepare by themselves, he hurriedly pulled Wei Renyan and took the trouble to explain something.

The other students and officials who were selected by Xiao Chen were the same, and they found people they were familiar with and told their friends like their last words.

"My lord, is it appropriate to let them fight?" On the other side, after Yun Xiao and the others had walked away, he asked in a low voice.

"Sooner or later, you will have to go to the battlefield to see blood, what's inappropriate?" Xiao Chen said lightly: "For example, I didn't go to the battlefield early, did anyone say that it was inappropriate?" ”

Yun Xiao suddenly remembered that Xiao Chen's age didn't seem to be an adult, but he seemed to have experienced more battles of life and death than him, and he suddenly had nothing to say.

"Yunxiao, after a while, our troops will be divided into two ways, I will take a team of people to the east city gate, waiting for the opportunity to open the city gate, you take a team of people to the west city gate, you must occupy the city gate before we arrive......"

"My lord, you might as well arrange for someone else to go, right? The duty of the lowly duty is to keep you safe......" Yun Xiao plucked up his courage and said.

"There are not many people I believe, Yunxiao, the West City Gate is our only way to retreat, I don't worry about giving the retreat to strangers." Xiao Chen said seriously.

"My lord......" Yun Xiao thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Obey orders." ”

***********

In the dark night sky, the sound of a battleship flying could be faintly heard.

However, from the ground, only some lights could be faintly seen, which was through the clouds to see the battleship's navigation lights flickering and flickering.

Boom, boom, boom......

Suddenly, countless surface-to-air missiles were fired from the ground, like a rainstorm falling in reverse, piercing through the clouds and hitting the battleship in the clouds in just a few breaths.

The explosion exploded suddenly, and the sky was instantly lit up with flames, and several huge warships loomed into view.

In the continuous explosion sound, a layer of light blue light film slowly stretched out, and within the light film, some areas of the huge hull exploded violently, and the hull was damaged and peeled off.

After the first round of fierce attacks was launched on the ground, only half a minute later, the second volley was sent out again with great rapidity, and in an instant it was like a rain of missiles.

However, at this moment, the battleships in the sky also fired counterattack artillery fire, although the east and west clusters, but the high-level battleships can be said to have the most intensive artillery fire, and because the battleships are condescending, it is easier to lock on to the fixed targets below.

The artillery fire of the two sides staggered in an instant, and almost at the same time, the sky and the earth exploded at the same time, and the explosion in the sky stretched out like a huge wave, illuminating the heaven and the earth.

It's just that the high-level warships that have been guarded have defensive shields to slow down the damage caused by the explosion, but there is no similar advanced equipment on the ground, and once they are bombed, the artillery fire will be in the sky in an instant, and the missiles or missile launchers hidden everywhere will be blown up one after another, and the broken iron parts will be blown up everywhere.

The ground position was destroyed in an instant, but the battleship in the sky was not comfortable, and the violent shaking, coupled with the fact that there were still explosions and raging fires, the violent shaking gradually increased, and there were signs of crash.

In one of the high-level warships, Zhu Xiaoxiao sat quietly in front of a video machine, watching the battle video projected by the battleship.

Since the day before yesterday, Zhu Xiaoxiao has not rested, she is full of thoughts, her mood is agitated, it is difficult to sleep at all, she finally wanted to lie down for a while, and was awakened by this sudden battle.

There was a knock on the door, and the female guard who accompanied the house also came to report: "Your Highness, Wang Botao and Jin Suyang ask to see you." ”

"Please." Zhu Xiaoxiao's clear voice came, and she couldn't hear her feelings.

After a while, the female escort came in with two people, who were the two leaders of the Imperial Academy, namely Wang Botao, the head of the command department, and Jin Suyang, the head of the school.

Entering the room, Director Jin said anxiously: "Your Highness, the battleship is about to ......"

At this moment, Wang Botao, who saluted at a glance, stopped Director Jin and said in a deep voice: "Director Jin, you must not be rude in front of Your Highness. ”

Director Jin closed his mouth, puffing out his cheeks with anger in his heart, thinking that this is the time, shouldn't His Highness's safety be the first priority? What else is rude?

Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, she carefully observed the expressions of the two and watched silently.

"Your Highness, Your Highness's car is not powered enough and there is a hidden danger of crashing, please land as soon as possible." After Wang Botao took a look, he said unhurriedly.

"How far are we from the ancestral land?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.

Today, Zhu Xiaoxiao can be regarded as being trained by the emperor, at least he has performed well in treating affairs calmly.

"Your Highness, the straight-line distance between here and the ancestor is two thousand miles, and if you walk on the ground, you may have to walk three thousand miles." Wang replied in his chest.

"Three thousand miles? How long does it take to get there? Zhu Yanyan asked indifferently.

"If it's walking, based on 200 miles a day, it will take about half a month." Wang Botao hurriedly bowed and replied.

"On foot?"

"Yes, on foot, Your Highness, we have changed warships twice on the way, but the target of the battleship in the sky is too big, no matter how much it hides, it will be found, only the walk takes a long time, but it is safer." Wang Botao hurriedly explained.

"What if you are harassed by the enemy on the road?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked again.

"This ...... The ministers have done their best, and after death, they swear to ensure that His Royal Highness returns to the ancestral land in peace, and ask His Highness to land as soon as possible. Wang Botao said loudly and resolutely.

Zhu Xiaoxiao muttered in her heart, still these few words, she didn't say much, hugged the rabbit, and motioned to the maid next to her, asking her to hold a weak chinchilla to follow.

On the way to the small landing ship, Wang Botao followed behind Zhu Xiaoxiao, and said tirelessly: "Your Highness, in order for you to reach the ancestral land safely, please give an order to hand over all the people and horses to the old ministers." ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao did not agree directly, but asked Jin Suyang on the side: "Director Jin, what is your opinion?" ”

Jin Suyang hurriedly replied: "In times of crisis, there is indeed a need for a unified commander center, Director Wang is scheming, has taught countless ladies in the army, and is the most suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief." ”

"Really?" Zhu Xiaoxiao hummed unashamedly, and she said again: "Now that the communication is cut off, even if you are given leadership, how can you command the troops?" ”

"Your Highness, the mountain people have their own tricks...... In ancient times, we humans did not have the advanced communication equipment we have now, but the army is still unimpeded, one is to rely on manpower to transmit information, and the other is a kind of thing called a walkie......

"Your Highness, the old slave knows about this walkie-talkie." An old man with a white face and beard appeared beside Zhu Xiaoxiao like a ghost.

"Uncle Long, do you know the intercom?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Yes, Your Highness, if the old slave is not mistaken, His Majesty the First Emperor and the Old Lord once made a batch of this equipment, and the First Emperor made a lot of preparations before his death, and this kind of equipment should be available in various secret arsenals."

Zhu Xiaoxiao sighed, continued to walk unhurriedly, and stopped at the landing gate of the small battleship, she said lightly: "Since you all said that it was necessary, then so be it, Commander-in-Chief Wang, everything is left to you." This means agreeing to let Wang Botao become the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

"The old minister will do his best to live up to His Highness's trust." Wang Botao said impassionedly and loudly.

"From today onwards, I and everyone will ask Lord Wang for protection." Zhu Xiaoxiao tried to control her emotions and said, "Commander-in-Chief Wang, the road ahead will not be safe, and I hope you can take care of your health." ”

"The old minister is grateful." Wang Botao was more excited than grateful, he had been looking forward to the title of commander-in-chief for many years.

Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded, took Chief Long and the others on the small warship, and soon landed on the ground, and then as the army continued to advance on the ground, in the sky, several surviving small and medium-sized warships were suspended in the sky above the army, but it didn't take long for them to be ordered to leave.

Being protected by a few warships in the sky is tantamount to telling the enemy that they are here, as the director of the command department, senior lecturer Wang Botao certainly will not make such a mistake, he first ordered the battleships to reconnoiter and advance, and then find a place to dock, ready for reinforcements at any time.

Wang Botao's second order was to familiarize the communication group with the intercom and try to contact other troops, and then send dozens of soldiers to set off with secret messages to find the friendly troops they had already identified or thought.

The third order was to send more than a dozen reconnaissance teams to reconnoiter and advance in all directions and transmit information in a timely manner, and the other was to carry out infiltration operations to actively win over or destroy the enemy.

After the army assembled on the ground, several teaching assistants and students brought by Wang Botao had already come up with several sets of marching routes.

I have to say that Wang Botao does have a hand in dealing with these matters, whether it is the communication between various departments or the strategy of marching and fighting.

The royal troops, having lost their high-class warships, did not have problems with the morale of the military, and everything was in order.

The benefits of this were soon manifested, and the reconnaissance team that set off first sent back the information that there was an enemy ambush, and the army moved quickly, opened a key road, and then seized the terrain to escort Zhu Xiaoxiao to leave safely.
